I did mention this to the powers that be...pretty noteworthy stuff...
Was there any response on that?

The Shadow book was copyright 1931, since that was the copyright on the original story. It was actually published later, ISFDB says 1933.
Thank you so much! That would explain the April 1st, 1933 issue.

Hopefully there are some "Shadow Experts" here that can help me understand this...
It's my understanding that Street & Smith held a contest in their Detective Story Magazines in 1931 to come up with an image of The Shadow. Based on the December 1931 issue of The Shadow Detective Monthly Magazine, that image came close to what we've all come to know and love and then in March of 1932, the common attributes of the Shadow came together at once on the cover of the Shadow Detective Monthly Magazine.
The HC book from Street & Smith, The Living Shadow, which reprinted the April 1931 issue of the Shadow Detective Monthly, is from 1931 as well.
Where did that image come from for the cover?!

Sorry about this not being a comic but it was Street & Smith's cross marketing for their Shadow Detective Monthly Magazine that was found in their February 13th, 1932 issue of Love Story Magazine.
The image is that of James LaCurto who was the first to voice the narration of The Shadow on the Detective Story Hour radio show in 1930.
(Sadly, not my copy...)

I'll definitely be interested to see how these turn out for you.

I wrote a bit more on my page about this, but I thought I would take some of those thoughts and post them here too...
To say that I'm very impressed with this experience would be an understatement.
To start with, I mailed these out with USPS Priority Mail on Monday, March 18th under CGG's High Value tier. I placed one at a value of $500 and the other at a value of $1000. I was very surprised to see that just a few days later, on Friday, March 22nd, they were listed as Received in the system but not only that, they were already moved into the Scheduled for Grading category! Well seven days later, on the 29th of March, they were graded and then ultimately shipped out on Tuesday, April 2nd.
The total turn around time from the point of me sending these out on Monday morning, March 18th to me receiving them back on Saturday, April 6th was only 19 total days! The fee for the High Value tier (max value = $1000) is more than double the cost than the Vintage tier (max value = $400) but these were two very important copies to me.
The grades I received were right in line with what I was expecting to see based on what I saw from other graded examples on line, so I was happy about that.
As far as the holder itself, I like it a lot.
...
...
I believe it was in the winter of 2022 when I bought that first Shadow Magazine issue from October 1, 1936 and then some months later when I found the nicer copy. The copy on the left was my very first pulp of The Shadow that I purchased. And then of course I thoroughly documented that purchase of the November 1, 1936 issue that I bought at PulpFest last summer in Pittsburgh.
Again, these are the raw images...
So when I sent these into CGC, based off of what I was seeing already in graded examples, I was hoping that the October 1, 1936 issue would get somewhere between a 4.0 - 5.0 and that the November 1, 1936 issue would grade out between a 2.0 and a 3.0 based off of the chunk out of the bottom and the staining on the back cover.
Like I mentioned in the previous post, I was very impressed with the turnaround time on these and even more pleased with the CGC grades and here they are.
These are the actual CGC scanned images and not from my scanner...
Again, I really like the quality of the slabs and they are very thick... they did a great job of making the side nice and clear so you can easily see the spine.
I'll try a little later to get a picture or a scan of the spines to be able to better show that.
In general, they're about twice as thick as a normal comic slab.
One thing I didn't realize until I was putting these books together to submit them was that both of these issues have the punched hole in the upper left corner. I'm not sure if that was done back then to designate copies as 'remainders',as was done with comics where they would have the top third of the covers ripped off to submit back to the distributors for credit, or rather some other designation.
Regardless, I'm very, very happy with these and as of right now, the October 1, 1936 (#111) issue is the lone copy on the census, while the November 1, 1936 (#113) issue is the second highest graded with another sitting at a nice 4.5!
...
...
My only true disappointment though is that there was no notation on the issue #113 (Nov.1, 1936) of Detective Comics #27.
That would have been the ultimate icing on the cake!

It can even do both at once.
This is such a sad thread from start to end.
I only knew of Ed through his name and attributes... I only heard of these accusations form here, on the CGC forum, sadly.
I went back and listened to the videos both against Ed and in support of Ed on YouTube... seemingly our now, God All Mighty, AI resource for news.
(Yes, a dash of sarcasm here.)
To me, Ed sounded like all of us.
Flawed.
I'm not sure what exactly happened here but from an outsider point of view, it seems like Judgement isn't any or our fortitude, nor should it be.
Rest in Peace, Ed Piskor.

One of my favorites.

Thank you - that makes sense.

The issues we have graded so far will pop up. It’s possible you are searching for titles that we have not graded yet, which will return no result.

Latest pulpy....love this.
... I missed out by 5 minutes getting a really nice copy of this at my local flea market last year. This dealer had a box of Railroad Magazine and Railroad Stories for $3.00 each and I saw someone grabbed it right before I got to the table. I bought the whole box but yeah, missing that great deal, certainly stung a bit.

It's interesting to see actual graded examples and the wide range between a 3.0 and a 7.0.

She was one of my favorite artists that I got to interact with at a show.
Very saddened by this news.
