I forgot all about this thread, I will have to remember when I go through books.

A couple of recent returns from Sarasota that unfortunately were not labelled correctly:

 

 

How should this one be labeled? It's not a Canadian edition. Just the regular newsstand version.

Just a mislabelled Canadian Price Variant.

Wow, with those color breaking spine ticks ( at least 3 )I have more faith

that I've submitted a lot more 9.8 candidates then I thought with

all my books at CGC.

Seriously. I didn't even take a look at that book until I pulled it up up close through photobucket. Wow, have CGC's 9.8 standards fallen that far? It seems in the old days that would be a 9.4 at best.

My last Copper/Modern group had a few gift grades in it, including this book. Some were spot on, but others were high.

I just found some Canadian price Amethyst Princess of Gemworld Maxi series books. I wondered if any of them are worth anything?

 

#2, #4, and #5 priced at 75cents and #9 priced at 95cents.

 

Thanks

Please tell me that's not a massive spine split in the middle of the book.

It looks that way; but how can the split go past the edge of a comic?

 

That's a nice book BTW; I see so many Canadian price variants - always hold onto the 95 centers!

That's why I asked - it can either be a plastic cover providing the illusion or a spine crease + slight imperfection in the plastic artificially extending it.

[kimik]

I am not sure. I can check - it is either a spine ding or a scratch on the slab.

 

This was submitted during a softer grading period so my guess is that it is a spine ding.........

Are you sure? I've scanned images of perfect cases and books in slabs that look like a spine ding/case crack but it's just the angle of the reflection of the image.

 

I'd look again but I've been into the single malt....

[kimik]

Looking at the image, it appears to be the combination of a spine crease and a scratch on the slab/scanner surface or, more likely, some plastic in between the inner well and slab case. It extends past the spine of the book in the scan.

 

Like I said, this was subbed during a weaker grading period.

On another note, checking out the prices on ASM #238 CDN and this book, is this now the most valuable CDN newsstand variant?

 

[kimik]

Wow, this thread is buried.

 

Here are a couple of recent returns from Sarasota:

I got this back from the CGC not so long ago, was really happy with the grade, as there are only 7 or 8 Canadian 9.8's on the census, then realised it was labled wrong, and therefore its probably not so rare after all
