Illiterati-migration Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 a few stress marks and that corner could drop it to a 9.2. For ONCE I agree with Khaos. You need a bigger scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I get a picture to become a "big scan" Appreciate the help. Too early for the FDQ exit, Duran. The better grading Vegan (M) graded the book. The doods in the grading department will help you with the scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_BEYONDER Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Being that I can't see any defects in the scan, my prediction is CGC 9.6 Even if the book is flawless...I think CGC will cut it off at 9.6 for production issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean "Cut it off because they refuse to grade a 9.8" issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_BEYONDER Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 No...I mean that CGC has a "9.6 cut-off" for significant production issues. Not sure that this 21 would trigger it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Smooth Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 sweet. Once im done with 1-30 in 9.8 (probably never) then ill move on to 150-155 in 9.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcolt Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 That will be an amazing achievement when you finish. I am collecting the run but I am buying raw issues. I try to find decent high grades but I will buy fillers and ugrade later. I want to be able to read every issue when ever I like, plus I don't have the resources to buy all issues in 9.6 - 9.8. bought this one today, its an upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camera73 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Going back to the #1-20. I just read that the preliminary -script for the Joe movie has Destro as the main villain. Can any one back that up? Also, which is his first app: #11 or #12? I don't think that one gets nearly enough attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidcolt Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) GI Joe Special #1 Death of Cobra Commander How rare is this? I was bidding on one on ebay but lost it. Is it just a reprint of #61? Edited April 9, 2006 by kidcolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Smooth Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 GI JOE special #1 1994 Made as an afterthought to the GI JOE series, its basically a reprint of issue #60 in wich MCFarlane did the interior artwork. He did the Specials cover as an homage to his own work on Spiderman. (See the resemblance of Snake-Eyes to Spiderman on the cover. They printed about 10,000 of these. They are uncommon but certainly not rare. I like the issue for the cover myself. Prices vary but a 9.8 would bring a healthy $300+ in auction.

kidcolt Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I went as high as $61 but gave up after that....seller had it listed as NMT but who knows, probably a 9.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 If it was this one: GI Joe Special #1 It's was a 9.6 easy. I always undergrade a bit to CMA, esp. with the MBG. I don't usually slab books that I would estimate to sell under $100 and the whole GI Joe thing really kinda snuck up on me. The 155 that's up right now is NOT as nice as the Special #1, but I'd still call it better than a 9.0 easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 He did the Specials cover as an homage to his own work on Spiderman. (See the resemblance of Snake-Eyes to Spiderman on the cover. The cover says something like "Goster & Koblish"(sp). I think the reprints interior is the only McFarlane art for that issue. The cover is just a swipe by some other dudes.

If I remember correctly.........the cover of G.I. Joe Special #1 was a Spider-Man swipe by Phil Gosier and Scott Koblish. The interiors are the "alternate art" for issue #61 originally done by McFarlane. It in not necessarily a reprint, as the McFarlane art was never originally used for issue #61. Issue #60 was the only McFarlane art included in the run. There, I think that about sums it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
