DC 100 page Super Spect. #4 Weird Mystery Tales - Tainted copy

[BassGMan]

Buy my book please. Nice book but the story behind it is not. I bought this over a year ago from everyone's favorite Eugene, Oregon Ebay dealer Terence Leder AKA TDcomicsncardz. At the time it was an unrestored CGG 8.5. A while back it turned into a CGC 7.5 PLOD with white pages and small amount of color touch on cover (no really, how could THAT be? ). Anyway, it's still a nice looking copy of the book but I just don't want it anymore. If anyone wants it for an even $100 including Priority shipping to the US then please PM me. ----Sid

Nice book, but I think you will have trouble finding a buyer for a BA PLOD at that price. Good luck though. Very tough book to find in nice shape.

I know, the bit of CT scares people off. I'm not desperate to sell it though but it does leave a bad taste in my mouth due to the backstory of the book.

[october]

Have you figured out where the CT is?

Great book, but it always bothered me that Wrightson messed up the Demon's right hand!

Sid, take a Black Light to it. This is actually one of the few BA horror books that is Notorious for CT, because of the cover and its harder to catch with the naked eye. As October Fire has indicated you will have a hard time selling at that price, Its a nice book with great Eye appeal from the look of it, though the scan was a tad blurry, I'd just keep it.

 

This brings up the question? Does PGX have a black light. You might want to crack it and see if you can spot the resto - then call CGC for the notes. At least the book will haev served as a training tool in a way then and given you some benefit for future purchases.

Never noticed that and now it's going to bother me too....that was one of my favorite BA covers!

Although I can't confirm it because I am certainly not a resto detection expert, it looks like it may have been a ball point pen covering over what may have been a color breaking crease on the lower right corner of the cover. It's the only place that I can see that it could be.

I should buy a black light, I don't have one now though. This is one of my favorite books but I have several more copies of it so I don't need this one. One is nicer but got rejected by CGC due to overhang. I've got a few more mid range copies and a few lower as well, including a VG+ on Ebay right now. Interesting about the backwards hand, I hadn't noticed it yet either.

[Jayman]

Crack it and send it back to CGG for an 8.5!

[all4comics]

I'll give you $50.00 for it

Like I said, I want to sell it, but I'm not desperate.

 

OK, $90 with shipping. And that's my FINAL answer.

Who's to say that's a mistake?

 

It's more eerie that way. Or else a little artist in-joke.

 

When we used to play Call of Cthulhu RPG the little things that were just a touch off seemed to be the scariest.

Hey Marc do you have any copies of this book??

Noooo...

 

The only things we have that even come to mind as being close are a few of the other one-shot lesser known DC giant-size ones. Stuff that doesn't compare to this one in terms of price, scarcity, or grail-ness. (e.g. Super DC 23--The Unexpected, DC Special Series 2--Swamp Thing, 12--Secrets of Haunted House.)

I don't have the world's most powerful black light, but with the one I have, ballpoint pen doesn't flouresce any differently than the regular black cover ink that is already on the comic. I'm not sure that a black light will help you catch ballpoint pen touchup. I think you have to rely on your own eyes and a strong, incandescent light for that.

[jbud73]

Good point Scott, on this book its usually a very fine tipped marker. If it was ball point the average Black Light is not going to be as effective.
