PG/ CVR/ NG designations
3 3

54 posts in this topic

Posted this in a few other places, but this is my latest crack and 'upgrading' coverless books I bought. Purchased it as a pile of scraps, missing both the front and back covers. I knew that so long as I could replace ONE of the cover sides it would be possible to obtain an 0.5 (which is a massive difference in price when compared to an NG - basically I was striving to make this a "Buy the grade, not the book" rather than "Buy the book, not the grade", impressive display for absolute lowest cost possible). Tracked down a replacement back cover and put it all together with a reproduction front cover.

While I applaud the work and time you put into this book, the thread is for NG, CVR, and PG designations.

Again, this looks great, though!

Wow!  You guys have been posting some great pieces!  Unconditional love for the book, story, art, etc.  

No grade chasing in this thread!

keep them coming!:headbang:

Yep, I’ve owned all of these books at one point or another in much higher grades. I like the coverless because you can see some of those beautiful splash pages that you never get to see…

Yes!  The splash pages!  Can’t see that awesome lettering, artwork and colors with the cover.  
That’s a great first page!

doh! Right! I keep thinking it as a NG that made it in the world after all :D

Have at thee!

The other two first issues of the Trinity (Batman #1 and Superman #1) are valued so much more than this one I figured it was a great time to snag whatever I could get before the universe corrected this blunder! Originally was going to keep it raw and try hunting down more wraps/covers for it but realized how crazy hard that would be and just made peace with what I had (which really was the most important bits - the origin story and first Ares appearance is basically all there)
