selegue Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Yes, it's SLAB-MANIA! I don't usually buy slabs, but I couldn't resist these ebay wins. First, Strange Terrors 2. Not just a slab, but a pedigree! The grade is pulled down by some staple rust. Scanning the label -- HAW! The book. Lots of slab schmutz, especially on the red curtain. This is the first time I've scanned a slab. What's better if it doesn't fit in the scanner bed? Tilt it with one end against the glass or uniformly distant from the glass? Very unusual cover! The signature is cut off. C. Meyerblecks? Something like that. I'll ask at the GA forum. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 SLAB-MANIA continues! Here's the other one, My Greatest Adventure 57. Highest CGC-graded copy according to the seller. I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm not sure how to check. I feel silly scanning these labels. And the book. I should be pimping my own book more strongly, but I'm surprised that much edge tannning and dust shadow earns VF-. The scratch starting above A in Greatest is on the slab. Dillin Moldoff cover according to GCD. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm not sure how to check. Nice Jack! Thanks. First time I've drawn one of those. Almost didn't recognize you with the new avatar. Almost didn't recognize me posting slabs, you mean! Maybe I'll switch back to a more striking one, but this short-bus alien with a wrench cracks me up. And here is how you check to see the ranking of your copy: Census Thanks again. I figured that it wasn't complicated. These #$%^& slabbed books aren't very satisfying, are they? I might as well just file the label, let CGC store the book for me and go find a reader copy! Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack I'm not sure how Big Apple got pedigree status, since most of the books I have seen are not high grade books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is truly sad and scary is that the later issues (350-425), the modern drek as some call it, are nearly impossible to find slabbed 9.8. I took a look at my raw copies, the ones i bought from my LCS, and not many of them would score a 9.6. most would rade between 9.2-9.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
