Okay, well it's finally back home after almost a year of travel, signing, reslabbing, deslabbing, rinse and repeat a few times...Creepy #1 File Copy SS Jim Warren, Frank Frazetta & Jack Davis sigs...

 

 

Just amazing! Glad you finally got it home.

[shiverbones]

I have to say that is pretty damn impressive!

[Jayman]

Amazing, unique, terrific!

[EvilAsh]

Amazing, unique, terrific!

 

Agreed, Sweet book Will!

[Boba]

I'm curious, is "FILE COPY" stamped somewhere on back, how did CGC identify it as one

[Makmorn]

I'm curious, is "FILE COPY" stamped somewhere on back, how did CGC identify it as one

 

It's stamped inside the front cover, on the cover. Actually, it is a fairly unique stamp, says Warren File Copy with a couple of lines. I have a Famous Monsters 1969 yearbook file copy at cgc right now, it is stamped on the outside, right on the guys forehead.

[Makmorn]

Okay, gather around my fiendish friends, I have word of new grades from the cgc crypt..(insert spooky music)

 

First let me preface this by saying these are not final grades, and are subject to change (that's what they always tell me, but I have never seen it happen, plus they went thru the finalizer this afternoon)

 

Also, please do not PM me for any of these books, I do not have them back yet, and they are not for sale. I might be selling some under copies after I get these back, but most of these are my keepers....I will however post some pictures on their arrival.

 

Some of the highlights include:

After Hours #1 1957 (First Warren Magazine, Bettie Page Centerfold) 9.0 (highest)

After Hours #3 1957 9.6 (highest and only)

Creepy #4 9.6 (2nd highest)

Creepy #9 9.4 (structurally a 9.6/9.8 but page quality held it back)

Creepy #11 9.6 (2nd highest)

Creepy #17 9.6 (highest)

Eerie #5 9.8 (highest)

Eerie #5 9.8 (highest)

Eerie #6 9.8 (highest)

Eerie #8 9.2 (2nd highest)

Eerie #9 9.6 (highest)

Eerie #23 9.2

Eerie #23 9.2

Vampirella #1 9.4 (highest) - - >

Vampirella #3 9.4 (2nd highest)

Vampirella #7 9.6 (highest)

Vampirella #8 9.6 (2nd highest)

 

These are not all the books, there are some others, but these are the ones that made me do the dance of joy......

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Jayman]

Wow! What a haul, congrats on all!

Especially impressed with the After Hours copies, really tough to find.

Would like to see them posted when you get 'em in! (thumbs u

Okay, no scans yet, I just opened the boxes, maybe a few scans later. Here are a couple of pictures in my garage right after the postal worker left. There are 10 other mags, but these are the main ones. (total 24)

Sorry for the weak photography, I was in a hurry to get them in the house, at least my truck held still

 

 

[Jayman]

[Makmorn]

Okay, have a few scanned..

 

After Hours #1, 9.0 White pages, tied with one other 9.0

Bettie Page centerfold

 

[Makmorn]

After Hours #3 9.6 highest and the only copy graded, I seriously doubt there is a 9.8 out there...
