Missing PQ on the label.

I have a genuine question...exactly how many autobots and decepticons have 1st appearances in #1?  Is it really feasible (especially with all the misprints and such lol)?

No way is it feasible. lol It's something like 28 characters. 

Edit: Checked: It's precisely 28 characters. 18 Autobots, 10 Decepticons. Plenty of room on that label! 

Though to be fair to collectors, they are the characters people are mostly looking for, with a few exceptions, like Bludgeon, Thunderwing, Nightbeat. They're the core characters people want to know about. Shame they couldn't utilise the back label for those people, even though it is a LOT of information. I have heard a collector or two mention that, to be honest. I just dismissed it as impossible, but I guess I may as well bring it up now.

To be fair, doesn't it say 1st app of Autobots and Decepticons on the label?

It does, I mean listing specific characters to make it easier on people. I was joking at first, but it has been seriously mentioned to me a few times over the years, so eh, why not mention it. It'd be like GSX1 just saying '1st Appearance New X-Men'. You've got to know who they are to know who they are. And there's a few of them. Obviously not as extreme as 28 characters, but you get the idea.

There's a variant of #688 with that cover, so I think this is a case of dumb policy rather than QC error. There's thread in general on foreign comic collecting talks about the way foreign editions are handled on CGC labels and CGC have an explainer here. There are 20 different foreign books that are labelled as ASM #129, for example. :screwy:

Yes, they reused the Campbell cover of ASM 688 for this Mexican ASM 7. ASM 688 goes for almost a grand while the reprint goes for $30-40. The feebay ad is trying to capitalize on this mislabeled slab.

Why is this Qualified?  Verification look-up says Centerfold detached.  Are they not putting the Qualified reason on the label any more? 

Here's a thread about label notation changes.  There might be a few amendments that were in the initial post.

I think it's safe to say that if you use CGC's services, you are a gambling man. Whenever you send them your comics, you're basically rolling the dice.

So from you past experiences how many of your comic books did CGC loose or damage?

The only problem I ever had was 2008-ish registered mail was stolen, but that wasn't CGC's fault.  It never left Sarasota, FL as postal workers stole a bunch of of registered mail.   I had a few damaged books (never lost) over the years, but CGC always gave me fair market credit in those rare instances. Most of those were from shipping damage after they were graded, etc.  Now none were personal comics so I understand those are harder to replace if something goes wrong.
