Every time I think about buying a non-CGC graded comic on eBay, I'm going to remember this dude claiming to be a "comic guy" and then saying this book is a 9.0 - 9.4.

To be clear he called himself “Comicbook Guy” in the eBay description. And, well, the only person I’ve ever heard of refer to  themselves as Comicbook Guy is this man:

Sure that makes sense, I'm a bit jealous, but I want to be prepared if there are more like that are out there 😜😜!!

I did have an inkling that it was possible to find this late in the game, just thankful and or hopeful that it IS a first print. I'd be asking too

Far as I can tell I see the pics and why they're posted. Should have gobbley gook back ad in back and little blood on t and etc

Spoiler

I'm horrible at it but best tablet writing that I can do. What it is!?

What you call "mangling", he calls "pressing".  I think he's improving the book from a 9.4 to a possible 10.5.
