Stevenrams Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Thanks, I'll scan it when I find my camera; I used at the soccer match Saturday evening and for my son-in-law's birthday. I think my wife has it. SLR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Sold to me raw as a 4.5 due to an ink stain on the back cover, the book came back a higher grade with perfect PQ. A grail of mine for many years, I finally snagged a copy for way below guide thanks to the Colonel, Stephen Ritter: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Do you know the grade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Do you know the grade? Yes, found out today since it shipped out yesterday. Graded out as a CGC 5.0 with OW/W pages. I thought it would grade at least a 5.5 so I'm disappointed though I'm satisfied with the PQ. Goldman claimed it was a .5.5 and he's usually spot on but you just never know how CGC will grade a book. I believe it looks much nicer than the grade given as I recall, but I'll scan it when the book arrives. SLR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLR I think we are entering a phase of tighter grading, after all the flak they have received lately over gift grades etc. Tough break Steve.

Actually, it's a beautiful-looking book, but I'll have to contact Mike to see about an adjustment or credit at next year's Comic-Con since he claimed it was a CGC 5.5. Sure that's only a half-grade lower but on a major key that translates to a considerable amount of funds. So I'm not completely disappointed. That book has very vibrant and vivid colors which is tough to find on that book. SLR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenrams Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Here's the JO 1 I purchased raw which the dealer called a 5.5 with real nice pages. As you can see CGC gave it a 5.0 with OW/W pages. It's a real nice-looking copy. I've contacted the dealer who's is good guy because a half-grade difference on a high-ticket item translates into major funds so we'll see what happens. Looks better than a 5.0 to me: Edited August 1, 2012 by Stevenrams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Hey "Silver" I would like to see your copy; it's been awhile. I believe I saw it in person at your house many years ago. I forgot what CGC graded it as. SLR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
