There's no way that book (counterfeit or not) would get a high grade (9.0+)...

The bottom half of the spine looks like someone rolled it vertically... or horizontally...

whichever one causes multiple spine creases. grin.gif

 

Looking at both Close-Up front and rear scans what would you put it as? 893scratchchin-thumb.gifconfused-smiley-013.gif

 

something that belongs in the Magazine forum.

I wanna say 7.5 to 8.0...

I'd be VERY afraid of any seller who said "9.6 to 9.8"...

since they have no clue how to grade, they probably don't know

how to avoid counterfeits either.

If it was OT it would have been moved to the Water Cooler before you hit the continue button. Of course, most of the posts in this thread are OT anyway. 27_laughing.gif

Just a couple of comments for you.

 

1) that is NOT the bald man panel in the link you have (yes there is a bald man on that page - but it is the wrong page).

The correct page is a long panel with very dark backgrounds and it is pretty easy to

tell if his head blends into it or not.

 

2) It is very hard to get a good idea from the scans provided about the indicia or the roof on the bottom of page one - look very closely at them when inspecting the book.

 

3) I wnat to say on page 15 (but I may be off) there should be some of the information from the artboard printed vertically on the page.

 

4) double check the side trimming and measure it.

 

There are a couple of other things to look for, but I don't remember off the top of my head - I'll ask Greg Theakston next time I see him - he would be as good an expert on this as anyone.

 

general comment - that has to be the highest price I've ever heard of for any copy - let alone an 8.0 as that one looks to be.

I would stay away from the book for two reasons.

1."I have had it for nearly thirty years. I tried to have Comics Guaranty grade and encapsulate it, but they will not grade magazines or comics with black and white covers."

 

Yet what do we have here? http://apps.heritagecomics.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=810&Lot_No=3106&src=pr

 

2. The book is obviously not even a 9.0 let alone a 9.6-9.8.

Incorrect description on that auction.

If they don't understand the lingo, or the way comics are produced, they should steer clear of trying to put it in the description.

 

Sorry for the sign-rantpost.gif

I'd guess that the chain of ownership on those ashcans is pretty strong and would play a large role in authentication. I don't live in the sunshine state, so you mileage may vary with an guesses of mine...

But I doubt because they are merely Black and White covers. Did he happen to mention the reason why I haven't seent the post.

Yep! We will not certify Eerie # 1 because it is too easy to go to Kinko's and make one.... frown.gif
