Too bad you can't see his work in those slabs ;-) Why not........has CGC changed their slabs so that you can no longer crack out the books to enjoy them the way they were meant to be enjoyed?

Morganmi Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Whelp, it finally came in and it wasn't even close. I think the grade is accurate (though maybe a little bit harsh). My problem being that it seems I didn't spend enough time looking at the back cover. Several small spine ticks that didn't notice back there. One that's hard to see but carries over to the front a little also. Sorry to get everyone's hopes up but that's the way it goes sometimes. The search continues....

You know looking at this edge closely now I'm beginning to think the reason this issue has no 9.8's is that there are several spots in that border line that look like spine tics that are actually part of the art. If you look at the close up it seems like there are 6 tics but actually only 3 of them are real tics and the other 3 are part of the art that actually goes into the border line.

Popular Post CardiacKid1 Posted October 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2022 I bought this one for $150 before the movie was announced, then had it signed by McGregor and Buckler. Then the movie became a smash hit and Buckler passed away. One-of-a-kind. J.Biz, ThothAmon, ADAMANTIUM and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not talking about freeing a book after it's already been imprisoned in one of those bulky industrialized slabs, but simply keeping them raw so that they can be enjoyed the way they were meant to be and also shared with some of your comic book buddies at the same time: On 2/27/2017 at 9:02 AM, ciorac said: Here is Jon at my place in Philly a few years ago sharing much of his collection with us Then again, I guess that copy of Fantastic Comics 3 would have had a much better shot at a CGC 9.8 instead of a paltry CGC 9.6 if it had not been passed around and enjoyed by so many of his buddies.
