Cerebus The Aardvark

I find it hard to believe ..  that ..  I am the only one .. ,  EVEN AFTER 40 YEARS(!),  that HAS  straight 9.8s on these three books...!  CALIFORNIA, .. THEN .. WAS,  and still IS .. SO FAR from Kitchener, Ontario....  Nevertheless, when I was nineteen, in 1983, and when I got these, we had SOMETHING IN COMMON.  (I know y'u don't care, or COULD care less, and I'm not asking YOU to tell ME what it was that we had in common.  IN FACT, ... it was RO

J X + x: [not] “finally”

Thanks for your help;   I just saw The Census, but ...    there is no second line    in the Set Score Details, and    the points value is the same.    Is this version, of this book,    worth MORE points?    How ‘scarce’...    are these,    in comparison,    to the rest of the printrun?    Isn’t this book,    more desirable than any of   the.. ‘regulars’?    Again, thank you for your attent

The difference between Fish Police #1, and Fish Police #1

J. x: The Difference .. between 2..

{... finally captured these ifcs, with this iP.}    So, I figured I would tip-off The CGCCS.  These two 2. (i.e., Two) comic books, by S. Clay Wilson, publ. by Keith Green, in 1975-6, have identifiers, namely price, that determine .. “State”.   I mean first state, compared to first printing.  Two States are:   1) printed .75 cent cvr. price, ifc.    2) printed, corrected/written-over, hand-written, “$1” price, ifc.   ... more on these later.  Good Luck,

J49: CGC Book 175

..., or the 1113th, 9.6, or the 3567th, overall ! Holy Smokes!   Can you believe this...?   Here I show, what I think is a pretty cool book.. only for the fact that.. IT DOESNT have the Spidey-head, AND IT IS.. a bar-coded, newsstand copy.. (Ive looked for other bar-coded copies, but only have seen a few....)   This one is one of the few Marvels comics that I have left. On its way are my CGC books #200, and #225, plus some, up to #247, but there are NO MARVE

CGC, we have a.. 9.8.

Congratulations (!), but.. I STAND CORRECTED. (updated 3 July, 2016.) {should I be getting 200 points, in stead of 160, for this?} {Why, yes. You should.... So, here you go....} ...NOW CORRECTED.

I, finally, found it, and here it is: (I think CGC got the issue date and year wrong on this one.): take note *** At first, I couldn't find this one, ..until now.   I thought, maybe, I was doing something wrong in my search(ing)...,   but, at last, here it is.   Okay, so it's a 'new', and anyone and their mother could have bought it.   It's not a 9.9 or even a TEN..
