Zap Comix #1 1968 Robert Crumb signed 9.8

[Stein]

Up for sale is a CGC 9.8 Qualified Zap Comix #1 second print 1968. This was a signature witnessed by a PGX representative. I purchased this and then sent it in for CGC certification. It was a PGX 9.9 and is now a green label CGC 9.8. There has been 1 sale of this book in unrestored form in 2011 that was a universal CGC 9.4 for $1554.

 

My last purchase of a Robert Crumb signature cost me $3000 more than the GPAnalysis.com recorded last sale of that comic in blue label.

 

I am asking $5500 but will consider any offers.

 

 

 

Free shipping.

 

I only show the PGX label for historic accuracy. I''m showing the provenance which proves a witnessed signature.

The book is now in a CGC slab...

'Cuz of the PGX label? It's CGC now, that doesn't sound like a problem to me.

I guess there should be shipping info though...

[Mr.Diggler]

The OP shouldn't be posting pics of PGX books on CGCs site. Duh.

I agree. Get rid of the picture of the PGX slab. The seller can make note that it was a PGX 9.9 if he wants for those that want the history of the book. Although most won't care what PGX's grade was.

It's not a PGX comic.

Honestly, I don't have a problem with this. This is taking the letter of the law to the extreme, like a traffic officer giving you a citation for going one mile an hour over the speed limit. It's in a CGC slab, he is selling it in the CGC slab, no harm no foul.

Yes, it's being sold in a CGC slab. Not only that, it's a demonstration of the reliability and trustworthiness of CGC versus the, well, less than stellar reputation of the so-called competition. The seller has indicated very clearly that they opted to have a book that's REALLY a 9.8 qualified rather than a book that's a 9.9 but graded by Brand Ecch. This listing doesn't seem to me to violate the letter OR the spirit of the rules here.

Looks like at this point the vote is 5 to 2 that is was OK to show the PGX slab not as a for sale item but as a provenance showing. Getting beyond the fact that there is a picture of this comic in it's previous form, is anyone interested in the comic itself rather than how it is posted?

[Mark 1]

First I see no problem with your post (except I'd put the CGC slab pic first)

 

Second, I'd love to own the book because it's awesome but no $$$$$ to spend on it.

 

Good luck!

I dont think pgx actually witnesses any of those signatures do they?

[Stein]

According to their web site they do. I've changed it so the CGC is first.

[Mutie Fan]

I wish they listed the date and location the signature took place.

Crumb lives in France

If I were selling it I would stick to the CGC info only, not for any other reason but that it's the most reliable bit of information you've got going for you.

In this case, the PGX label adds validity, or at least more information, about the signature. This is information that should help his sale. He should be allowed to show this fact.
