CheezyWhiz Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 My first CGC submission.. got a counterfeit Cerebus #1 9.4 tied for top census, and the only blue label 9.8 Cerebus #12 and some other 9.6s. That's the good news.. the bad news is that they gave me a full point lower on my Cerebus #1 and #2 than I expected (and paid ).. and on top of that the case for the authentic Cerebus #1 arrived all scuffed up on the inside.

trmoore54 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) My first CGC submission.. got a counterfeit Cerebus #1 9.4 tied for top census, and the only blue label 9.8 Cerebus #12 and some other 9.6s. That's the good news.. the bad news is that they gave me a full point lower on my Cerebus #1 and #2 than I expected (and paid ).. and on top of that the case for the authentic Cerebus #1 arrived all scuffed up on the inside. Win some, lose some. Curious as to what is with the "counterfeit" book, have never heard of this per se...is this something common to this issue? And why wouldn't CGC just reject grading it and return it with that comment rather than grading and encapsulating it?

CheezyWhiz Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Curious as to what is with the "counterfeit" book, have never heard of this per se...is this something common to this issue? And why wouldn't CGC just reject grading it and return it with that comment rather than grading and encapsulating it? Some background info on the counterfeit: http://rogerowengreen.blogspot.com/2007/05/cerebus-1-counterfeit.html And some more trivia from a board member: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2635852#Post2635852 The letter from Deni Sim on the inside cover of Cerebus 32 (I think.. or around that issue.. 1982ish) describes their reaction to discovering the counterfeits. They are tough to find in high grade (just like the real thing). I heard that Dave Sim will (or used to) sign Cerebus counterfeit books but would forge the signature of another artist.. like "Here's a fake signature to go with your fake #1 -Frank Frazetta".. although I haven't seen one of these signed books yet. It's a part of comic history now.. and especially cool if you are a Cerebus collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boboset Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I know more about the fake Cerebus #1 than I know about the actual series itself(nothing). Thats a historic book in some regards, a well known counterfeit that really fooled alot of people. I'd like to own one just because of it's importance, and no I won't buy your copy Cheezywiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
