The Man Without Beer

Three new additions this week. 

Well sorta new. New grade, new slab & new label. Shipped this double cover off to CGC about a month ago and it just came back today.

@The Man Without Beer There are other bugs still in the queue to be resolved and one of those is making changes (set descriptions, pictures) to sets. The other is the inability to create new Competitive sets. We're expecting resolution to these soon. 

Ok. Thank you.

For what it's worth I added this book to a set today, shared it in another set, and uploaded pics:

Thx... I'll try again but I currently don't have any competitive sets. I thought carrying from a book in a competitive set to a custom set was always a workaround to the problem. 

I am finally able to add books to the custom set but unable to add the corresponding pictures. Also, I notice the site seems extremely slow just adding the books.

No, but almost. It was with Anthony for years on eBay $350 BIN, probably four or five. In November 2018 I offered $275 shipped but the best he could do was $315. I stepped off and it sold the next month and I haven't seen since!

Thanks for the backstory. Just got it through auction from comicconnect for what I thought was a good price. Not as good as 2018 prices though.

Ha, ha, I wondered where this had gotten to. Enjoy!

Was this yours?? The provenance has spoken ... 😆 Very cool page. Recently picked up 2 pedigree copies of this very issue to go with it.

Pretty excited to win the auction battle for this one. Rare in grade, and just an awesome cover. 

Classic cover imo. Just picked up a piece of OA from this issue. 

Still having problems adding books to custom sets.

Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 1

I've had these books for years now with #2 being the only one I didn't have signed personally.  This series featured first appearances for both Rat King and Leatherhead.

Very cool. Great covers & remarks too!!

An almost 9.8 SS Watchmen run, still looking for the last one 

Very nice. Nothing like looking for that last piece of the puzzle. Good luck 🤞

Finally!  Back story ... When I was a kid, I was a die-hard Daredevil collector. The guy who owned the comic shop (a couple of blocks from my house) used to save all the back issues of DD he got in so I could go thru them before he put them out. For my 13th Bday (1975), my sister asked him to locate a DD #1 for me. I'm pretty sure I coined the phrase "Giggity" long before Quagmire when I opened my present. Sadly, I sold it a few years later. I haven't had one in my collection since. Until now.

Coming from Heritage...

Congratulations. When I was a kid, I could only dream of ever owning a DD1.

Awesome accomplishment!

Hope you don't mind the dumb question ... but Stan's been gone a while so how did you witness any of these after that point?

Thank you. To answer, I'll have to take CGC's word on that. But a question for you... How do you know Stan is really gone?

Tried to add two different books to my custom registry set. Lookup tool shows books just fine, then when I select save/add, I get an error message & that the error is being reported to IT. Tried for 2 days now. 

IMO, the difference should be clearly identified and not the same yellow label color as witnessed books. This would be fair to those who already own and will possess the premium process of witnessed signatures going forward.  A witnessed signature is 100% authentic & as mentioned previously, a verified signature is an opinion and not 100% proven. Also, as mentioned earlier, a verified signature should get a blue label with a notification that the signature has been verified. These can then be noted after sales in GPA like "newsstand editions" are now. These verified signatures should not affect the current signature series census in any way shape or form. As a collector of primarily yellow label CGC books, this topic has got my attention.  As a secondary point, if you want to continue to call yourself the gold standard company, please dont do what your competitors are already doing on this subject. Are you listening here @CGC Comics ??
