This is one of the whitest copies I’ve seen. Usually they are starting to tan or have some staining. I think it’s NM after a C&P.

9.9!

Wow! Beautiful copy! Congrats!

It's Jim "Big Daddy Long Legs" Lee

I WAS about to fish through the kitchen trash.

I bought a raw Cerebus 1 just last year off of ebay. Because the internet was full of all the counterfeit "tells", I purchased it with a pretty good sense of comfort. My primary concern was if it had any touch ups/restoration. I was fortunate though. Sent to CGC and came back 7.0 blue label. Back in the day I would have jumped at the opportunity to buy a counterfeit, so long as I knew it was a counterfeit. I do recall one shop selling a counterfeit TMNT 1 but advertised as such. Think it was $100. That was too rich for my teenage self.

We have a good BINGO!

That's Princess Mimi Bird.

My friends were alter boys and wanted me to do it too but I always was apprehensive around priests. I opted to bus tables at a pizza place once a week instead and usually brought in $20-25. I loved that we got paid in singles most of the time. The owner of the LCS sometimes commented about them having white powder on them. I told him it was flour but I probably didn't even know what he was implying back then.

Here's my real contribution. I posted this the other day in Bronze.

Oh most definitely.

I'm a redhead! Let's celebrate!

Oh how I hated that top sticker!

49 and doing fine.

Thank you for posting this. This is very VERY upsetting to hear. This is NOT acceptable on CGC's part.

Thanks! I'd definitely need to plan the day around it. About a 2 1/2 hour drive. But the wheels are spinning...

Where is it located? I see @BrianHoward has NYC/NJ in his location.

Maybe you'd prefer this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/186249480649?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=onloWYbvT7e&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=88CMRdsEROS&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

You can see the wavy label in the original pix on eBay. If you think it was swapped why not reach out to Ozark? In his description he mentions that the book was never cleaned and pressed. It was "purchased from an older gentleman who did not believe in it." Maybe it's just me, but if I thought I was scammed I'd be relentless in finding the person who pulled off the scam.

My CGC subscription renewal is due next month. I haven't submitted since February. I was hoping CGC would be further along in reimbursing those impacted by this scam. I don't feel right submitting anything until then.

That's pretty cool!

Yeah. Sgt Slaughter was a WWF wrestler and then became a GI Joe. I would think a Cobra Crimson Guard would be a good starting point but I lost track of the Joes after around 1986ish. I know it's not version one but maybe a later version or some other red Cobra guy? Usually it takes a kit bash as well as some putty and sculpting.
