Has anyone come across this error for Aliens 1 before?  Area 88, 25 was printed at the same time and the below is that interior plus the cover to Aliens 1.

Aliens 1 May 1988 CGC 9.2 Manufacturing Error - ”Manufactured with interior of “Area 88 #25””

Incredible Hulk vs Venom #1 April 1994 CGC 9.4 Manufacturing Error

”Manufactured without red foil on cover”

Aliens 1 May 1988 CGC 9.2 Manufacturing Error

”Manufactured with interior of “Area 88 #25””

First photo has the Amazing Spider-Man 300 pre Jim Salicrup signing with John Romita name clearly marked.

Second photo has John Romita’s name deleted and just has the date.  But it has Jim Salicrup’s signature added.

Post Mechanical Error resubmission it now has John Romita’s name reinserted.

Same question as above: Where was the QC?

And same comment as above: It’s a headache as being an international CGC member I have to pay for each QC error and also run the risk each time of a grade drop.

In tribute to @ShaggyB who had the 9.8 to 9.6 mega thread I’ve opened a thread for where CGC have missed the signature of a previous signer when you send in for a new party signature.

This just happened on 3rd Jan 2024. This is Uncanny X-Men 258 missing the Jim Lee signature. Where was the QC?

I’ll post my ASM 300 as well but it’s a headache as being an international CGC member I have to pay for each QC error and also run the risk each time of a grade drop.

If it helps @Rallas there is a dedicated thread for Australian Price Variants which you can find here:

This also has a link to the known Australian Price Variants in a separate section compiled by @Get Marwood & I

I got two comics back from the recent signing.  One is signed:

Glynis Oliver

and the other is signed

Glynis Marsh

in both cases the CGC label states it was signed by “Glynis Oliver”.

Does anyone else have comics signed as Glynis Marsh and if so is there any reason for the difference?  

Rick Parker letterer please.

Great to see Tom Orzechowski added recently by CGC as well.  

Red Sonja and Conan custom label

The Punisher custom label

Here is the reply I received from marketing:

We are actually most likely going to bring this label back but it might have a few minor changes to it. If he can hang on for a few more months he might be pleasantly surprised. Otherwise, I do not think OPs has any of these left ...

Is there any more update on this Spiderman label thanks?

Can I suggest a Canadian flag for Canadian Price Variants, U.K. flag for pence variants and Australian flag for Australian price variants.

I understand CGC pays commission to the artists for the use of the imagery but I expect that the license rights for flags must be very affordable. Hopefully!

I have a Spiderman 2099 which has a ‘faded band’ of about 1.5 inches across the top part of the comic.  When you look straight on you can see part of the border of the band but it otherwise looks normal.  From a side angle it is clearer.

Does anyone else have anything similar? Could this be where the roll was changed over for the red foil?

Can CGC please update the telephone number for international calls?

The number +1 941 360 3991 takes you to a switchboard saying that you now need to call a local number ending in GRADE 10 (which you can’t call from abroad).

There is an option to press 1 to talk to a representative and to be transferred but this  continually fails and it says it has not been possible to complete this call.

Can you please help?

Post a way! Would be nice to see, and once upon a time in the thread there were some "lists" that if you knock off any of the ones undocumented, that'd be cool.

Either way feel free to post up!  

Totally agree! Would be great to see your collection.  Here’s the list that @Get Marwood & I has compiled:

New Red Sonja 1 trade and virgin covers which will be released in July.

She’s done a lot of great stuff, but this was the first one that caught my eye. One of her earlier covers. I was already reading the series but I grabbed a few extras because of the cover. 
 

A great cover @awakeintheashes and thought I’d share a link to some more Jenny covers on Comic Book Invest

I guess it doesn't get more obscure than that

 

Thanks for sharing @ADAMANTIUMand was not aware of Psylocke/Kwannon having a daughter!

Here is one to start from the Red Sonja run she did.  Always thought this was a classic!

I didn’t see any other forum on this subject but let me know if not the case!  Please post your favourite Jenny Frison comics and general news like signings and new releases.

I asked Gerry Conway at a recent signing about John Romita Sr's health and he said he'd heard he was well but "he's over 90!" which made me dubious on a signing although didn't I hear CBCS did something somewhat recently? It'd be pretty amazing if CGC could figure something out. Anyone know if Larry Lieber's health is good at 90?

+1 on John Romita Sr and would be amazing if CGC could figure something out

Does anyone know if the Rick Leonardi signing has taken place yet and if not when this will happen?
