Earliest Existing 10.0 Gem Mint Book

[codfish]

Easy to grade when there's no cover.

 

I beg to differ. It is pretty darn hard to maintain an all news print comic and it is harder to grade two because certain elements that are restricted to a glossy cover are not present. It is also pretty darn tough to maintain sharp corners on a newsprint book ... or prevent spine rolling for that matter.

I think there is a Captain Canuck #1 from around 1975 in 10.0

 

The Canucks strike again

But was that CGC or PGX? If it was pgx you can just ignore that grade since PGX gives out more 10's then cgc ever could.

 

There is a CGC 10.0 on the census.

 

I might be wrong, but I think it is owned by that guy that FROZE all his comics.

 

He wanted $5000 for it I seem to recall.

 

 

 

 

Reynold Jay. Someday he'll wake up, I hope.

 

Why .......... did he freeze himself too?

 

 

 

saying is he owned an ice cream factory and therefore, yes, froze them for better preservation. He came up with a ton of awesome grades so clearly he knew what he was doing.

Check my link, this chart isn't correct (just outdated, I assume). It doesn't have the Aurora model kit books, DD # 157, ASM # 216, Dr. Strange #58, LOSH # 300, etc.

Well, unfortunately he seems to be the poster boy when someone says "professional pressing."

There is a Vanguard Illustrated 2 CGC 10.0? WOW!

 

That is a gorgeous Dave Stevens cover.

 

 

As far as Marvel Team-Up 117, I think there are two 10.0 copies out there, but it always seemed one of the oddest perspective covers I've ever seen as Wolverine's arm looks like it should be on the Hulk.
