How do you think the “authenticated” books will score on the registry? At the moment, it has Signature > Universal > Qualified > Restored.

Do you think buyers will know and/or care about the difference between the two when the “authenticated” slabs first hit the market?

Just as a flood of submissions come in, there will be a flood of “authenticated” JSA slabs hitting eBay/ComicLink/Heritage a month or two later. “How the market responds” will be the true test for the label.

I like how my unwitnessed sigs will now look like Pedigrees

Thank you sir! I’m sure the user put in a request to add his Cartoon Books #26 to the Cartoon Books set and it was accepted. It would seem like a logical thing to do by anyone who made that decision, except for the fact that Image Comics produced the first prints for #21-27. Jeff Smith made it confusing and it will never stop being confusing decades later

Sorry, I meant #26. It was #24 the last time this happened

I don’t see a thread about Registry issues so I’ll post this here (move to wherever appropriate if I’m in error). A user named JohnDubb added a bunch of comics to his Bone (Cartoon Books) set and it looks like he tried to get his Cartoon Books #24 into the issue 24 slot. Well, the Cartoon Books #24 is a second print and everyone who had the first print #24 from Image Comics had theirs removed from their sets when the change was made. The Cartoon Books #24 should only be added to the Bone (Cartoon/Image) All Variants set and the Image #24 should be in the first print Bone (Cartoon Books) set. Please correct when you get a chance and thanks!

Anyone see the 9.8 Signature Series of a second print #1 on ComicLink last night? Went for $2100 I’ve never had an interest in collecting the different colored logos but I had an inkling that this may go big since it’s the only one on the census…but certainly not that big.

And this would be awful and put CGC on the same level as CBCS. I realize people really want to put their green labels in yellow but the Signature Series brand would effectively be destroyed. No one wants to squint to figure out if what they’re looking is witnessed or verified.

I’m starting to get nervous about this. Not that I buy a ton of CBCS slabs, but the way they use the same label color for witnessed and verified sigs is terrible.

A fellow board member reminded me that there’s some great examples of Jeff Smith art on CAF that many of you should check out, as well as some alternative artists who’ve given their shot at Bone illustrations. Many of them are convention sketches but there are also some finished pieces that I’m hoping will get a few more likes and comments such as Fone Bone Waving the Flag of Freedom, Jeff’s Busted cover, an unpublished Bone Tribute cover, a Trilogy Tour cover, and the Complete Bone Adventures #3 cover art, which @CoinAddict has shown previously in this thread. Give them a look if you can and please make comments!

That’s good news! I’m guessing the change will be reflected in the next census update (ten 9.8s are still showing). The other certification numbers will eventually surface and, hopefully, someone in this thread will let you guys know if they’re legit or not

If you’ve read the entire Thorn Kickstarter book, you’ll know that this piece of OA will forever be referred to as the Rosetta Stone, coined by Jeff himself. He gave it a full two pages in the back section of the book right after the Thorn strips conclude. It truly is a momentous piece of Bone history and thanks again to the collector for letting us see it

No problem. The four above are the only ones that need to be taken off at the moment. Will let you know if I find the others.

This one was already taken off the census if you were meaning to add this to my list.
