GawkHawk Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 It's an authentic 1, though Dave scared me by telling me it was counterfeit when I had him sign it many years ago (he was joking!). I presume with the signature on the inside that it would get a blue label? Though I'm not sure that I will have it slabbed. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Blue label b/c it's inside. 5.5/6.0 maybe. Not sure how much the shock & awe of seeing one boosts the grade. The spine creasing definitely looks like a 5s max situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 6.0 tops if pressed. Signatures on an interior page may keep a book from a 9.8 or 9.6 but that's just about it. Universal label. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I had done the research and knew it was real based on what I knew, but to hear him say that was a kick in the nads for a few seconds. grendel013 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahsoka Tano Jedi Apprentice Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I did get some reprints of the earlier issues so I could read the whole story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
