DrPauly Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 So someone posted this Invincible #1 1st print. Incredibly rare and major key book. The colors on the front and back cover are off a bit. According to Matt Hawkins(who has been with Image since 2003 and is the president/COO of TopCow) when asked at a convention years back, this is due to the printer running low on inks at the end of the print run. Meaning the final hundred or so copies have this look. Is this True and how would it grade???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnexus Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) CGC shouldn't grade it any different unless it's from sun damage. If you're trying to sell it, I doubt you'd see much a premium. If you compare lots of books, there's always copies of books with slight color variations. That's pretty normal.

Regardless of how anybody grades it, its appearance may affect its desirability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
