scburdet Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) So, many years ago I was on a martial arts comics collecting kick (Shang-Chi, Iron Fist) and I really loved these painted magazine covers. I specifically got this one for the Iron Fist cover without realizing it is a middle-of-the-road key for the 1st White Tiger. I've heard that magazines are experiencing a longer than even typical turnaround at CGC (anyone hearing this as well?), so I'm not rushing out to submit this one. The mags in sig series are also going much slower than comics too. It seems to me like magazine-sized comics took beatings more so than comics, so very pleased with the overall shape. Continuing the recent series of posts, there is some kind of ink thing going on around the "IRON FIST". Could be ink transfer since there's not really any black ink there to smear. Thoughts?

scburdet Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Testing to see if the backlog on magazines is finally breaking. At least the fee is "cheap" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Pretty happy here, especially given what I paid for this book. They ID'd the dark stuff on the cover as soiling, but I think it's ink transfer. Certainly allowable at an 8.0 either way. I did miss that there's a little chip out of the bottom corner of the back cover (in the notes). I wouldn't be surprised if that cost a grade. thehumantorch and grendelbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
