  1. One board member recently deslabbed PGX case and found the cover was detached at the bottom staple.  Their grade was 8.0 so it went down to either 6.0 or 6.5.

    My last purchase was in 2010.  I deslabbed, had it pressed then submitted to CGC.  It came back 9.4 with white pages.  It was ASM 45.  PGX graded it 8.5.

    However, PGX became inconsistent and unreliable lately and I avoid PGX at all costs.  It's your own risk.

    Mine came with glasses that didn't have arms on them.  I am assuming mine is a later print as well since different price on it.

    Yes, it's 2nd print with the different price, missing CCA is replaced with Kitchen Sink Comix logo.  1st print books were printed in 1990. Three years later, 2nd print books were printed with varied 3D glasses.

    The debate upon the original 3D glasses has been inconsistent .  I believe the publisher bought the wholesale of discarded 3D glasses to save money.

    Notice: CGC will take the glasses out of the book for grading. There is only 22 on Census.  Right now, it's now scarce. I looked everywhere but I managed to find one near full run excluded #11 on eBay. #11 is available in Amazon and it didn't mention 3D glasses.  I remembered there were plenty of #1 1st print back in 2018.

    Wow! That's crazy!! I bought it today at a small show at the New Berlin, Wis. VFW Hall. Paid $7. That's amazing.

    7 bucks???  That's cheap.  I paid $75 and I was not happy with their grade.  I doubt that 3D glasses are original.

    Right now, those 1st print high grade books are scarce.
