World Cup Willie Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Hi, Looking for some opinions on whether I should look to get some issues of 2000ad graded and encapsulated with CGC. This would be a means to an end as my ultimate ambition would be to sell them once this is done. Given their (possible lack of?) quality (and in this case imperfect free gift) I wasn't sure if getting them slabbed would be worth the expense. I live in the UK. Prog 2 - Has yellowed pages but still has the Biotronic Stickers with it. Unfortunately one is missing (13 year old me stuck it on my forearm as instructed and when it lost it's stickiness I stuck it on my wardrobe door - that wardrobe and it's door is now long deceased!). The 'Third Eye' sticker has lost it's stickiness and is now loose from the backing sheet. Would be chuffed if anyone was able to offer any advice please. Thanks very much.

southern cross Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Is the sticker page loose in the prog? And was it loose to begin with? I know any loose items in the book won't be graded with said loose items in a slab by CGC because it may damage the book moving loosely inside the slab if graded.

World Cup Willie Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 Hi, @southern cross, the Biotronic stickers have always been loose. They were never attached, just placed in the comic when it was published. From what I've read about encapsulation, something like this would be placed in the encapsulated comic as it would be able to fit within whereas something like the Space Spinner (that came free with Prog 1) can't be fitted in but I may be wrong.

scburdet Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 The UK books often came with this unattached mishegoss. Captain Britain 1 has a mask for example. CGC will Green label them if not included (unless you're lucky & they forget. I still have the mask which I didn't think I should send). Personally, I think that's silly since it wasn't attached to the book & IDK how they encapsulate them.. IDK what they'd do with a sticker sheet missing a sticker. I suspect Green label too with a note that a sticker is missing. I'll wager a 4.0/4.5 with c/p. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/363942217876 World Cup Willie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
