Okguy Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Does CGC grade "Facsimile Cover Reprint" books? Any examples of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning55 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Just search eBay for any well known facsimile comic, with CGC in the title. If any appear in the results, you have your answer. Or search the CGC registry by title. Okguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you are asking if CGC will "grade" a coverless comic with a reprinted/facsimile front and back cover. If so the answer is yes, it has to be attached at the staples but will receive a "NG" (no grade) designation when encapsulated.

Sauce Dog Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) Yes, I do it all the time - however it is better to source at least the back cover for these coverless books as that will allow you to obtain a 0.5 grade (at least half of the cover wrap must be present to qualify for a 0.5 grade, any more missing from a book and it is automatic NG). This More Fun #72 has an entire facsimile cover wrap attached using the original staples. However this Strange Tales #110 only has a facsimile for the front cover, the back cover is original.

Popular Post Sauce Dog Posted May 5 Popular Post Share Posted May 5 (edited) Another example, facsimile front cover with an original back cover Full facsimile cover wrap (as well as missing several interior wraps - basically the lowest of the low, but my options for owning such rare books is limited cause I don't earn that much, so I'll take what I can get) Edited May 5 by Sauce Dog Paul Kosnik, Okguy, grendelbo and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
