scburdet Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) This copy is on its way back & I should have results sometime next week. I bought a second hedge copy for cheap while this one was in process. I want to get some idea if there would be any anticipated difference in grade between the 2 copies. I noted that both copies (from separate sources) have similar rippling around the spine. I suspect this has something to do with small press production, but not enough comps to know for sure. These images are pre-press. Although it's not 100% clear, this is likely Bagley's first published artwork. By a couple of sources, this came out 2 months before Nightmask 9 at Marvel. I think Bagley has also posted an Instagram stating this is his first book. CGC's label does not note this.

Cerebus3000 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I’m optimistic that a press will take care of those wrinkles. However, I think there are enough colour breaking tics, plus the rear top left crease that it will be an 8.0. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted October 12, 2023 Author Share Posted October 12, 2023 Now you're calibrated for the other copy (https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/528553-pgm-after-apocalypse-1-copy-b/) which is still raw. FYI, this is in a magazine holder b/c it's a little larger than a regular comic. southern cross and grendelbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
