PhiGam-migration Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Great book, chris! Am I the only one that's annoyed by the fact that CGC puts "signed & sketch by" on their SS books? It should be "signed & sketched by" +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhiGam-migration Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Here is the first of my recent additions to my registry set. This was not my slabbed 9.8 but a raw that I picked up early last year. Graded it as a structural 9.8 but there is a mark on the "B" that I was a little worried about. I'm assuming the graders saw it as a printing error of some sort and didn't downgrade the book . Joel handled it perfectly and Mr. Smith graced it with a Ted doodle (I know it barely qualifies as a sketch but that's simply what Ted is). The "Phoney as Captain Ahab" is a recurring theme in the series but this is his only cover. (worship) (worship) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhiGam-migration Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 perhaps...the 9.2 is going to get re-subbed here shortly (methinks it has an outside shot of a 9.4)...will also be subbing a raw 9.0-ish copy and an 8.0-ish copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhiGam-migration Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 wanted to get it slabbed, in case it hits 8.5... than i can get it SSd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocGo Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 This is another great cover in the series. I've had bad luck with raws of this particular book but mschmidt bailed me out by selling me this slab (and it happens to be one of the best 9.8s I've ever seen). Does anyone else like covers with rain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocGo Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 I love this issue. Gran'ma Ben storms into the forest after eavesdropping on Fone and Thorn tell each other about their dreams of the Great Red Dragon and Phoney and Lucius make their infamous wager where they split the bar in two to see who can make the most profit. The weird thing about the cover is at no point in the story are Phoney & Smiley washing dishes. Perhaps it symbolizes their present state of affairs with Lucius and how Phoney is desperately trying to get out of his debt (see The Great Cow Race for how they fell out of favor with Lucius). Anyway, I challenge anyone to find a better dishwashing cover. This comic was a raw that I sent to Joel for an SS. Mr. Elad was nice enough to ask Jeff for a little sketch of Ted the Bug as well.

DocGo Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 One of the great Phoney covers! Once again, this was a raw that I sent to Joel for the Flying Colors Comics signing. Jeff went much smaller with his signature back in the day which I will always prefer (you can see what I mean on some of the Qualifieds that float around), but I can't argue too much when he includes a little Ted sketch.
