  1. David. You, Dan and Bellrules are correct, Fraggle Rock #8 definitely has no CPV. Good catch gentlemen ! As for Angel Love and Zatanna Special #1 there are corresponding US newsstand examples ( Ben has a link on the CPV guide pointing to this) so the "possibility" that they exist is there but I have never seen one. As for Hawkman 16-17 and Blue Beetle 22-23 direct editions of these issues do have the tell-tale "logo box" which may lead one to believe that newsstand editions could exist but the possibility is much lower. Given these were the last two issues and sales were probably lackluster, we cannot rule out if a decision was taken not to print them?
  2. I don't know if it has been discussed on this thread... should CGC stop charging the annual fee to dealers given what has transpired?
  3. CPV's have a higher COVER PRICE and most also have a BARCODE considering they are NEWSSTANDS . You can check out the Canadian Price Variant guide that gets updated each year with pics for comics and magazines (similar to the Overstreet) at: www.cpvpriceguide.com
  4. That Vamp #113 is the top CPV magazine to get. Congrats! Do you have any CPV Vamp's graded? The one who sold it to you probably had no clue...his loss and your gain in this case.
  5. Thanks for letting me know. If you do get your hands on any CPV's (Canadian Price Variants) send me a PM. Looking specifically for the highest graded Vamp 103, 106, 109, 110, 113 and a few other magazine titles
  6. @CGC Mike I haven't read the whole thread but noticed many in the community have FANTASTIC ideas that CGC should take into consideration when reading this thread ! Another idea that may or may not have been mention: Add BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY to each book when received? Maybe this could add an extra layer of security to what exists now at CGC for all owners, sellers and potential buyers who want to view the tracked history with a little more confidence going into 2024?
  7. You make a good point. Then again, it should be reported considering this could amount to a ton of money going back longer than most of us might want to believe. What if we discover it's many more sellers than originally thought of?
  8. Someone here should contact one of the big media companies and make sure they cover this scam. The legacy media will contact CGC for further info considering this could be a scam on a larger scale most people think. Make sure the Media outlet is not owned by Blackstone considering they want to reshape the world in their image...lol
  9. Looking for a Vampirella #103 (9.6) and #106 (9.4) Canadian Price Variant Magazine. Feel free sending me a PM Thanks for your time
  10. Hi Mike, thank you so much for your reply!!! Being the owner of the book, I can definitely ask ComicConnect to write me an e-mail providing proof that I won this raw Warrior Mag #1 on their auction years ago and in fact that there is a certificate of authenticity proving the book comes from the personal collection of Jon Berk. This was one of two reasons why I bought it in the first place. I'll get you that info ASAP Mike. Thanks again for making my day! Customer service was not very helpful when I kept telling the young lady that what she was saying made absolutely no sense. She also never once asked for the proof. She kept saying CGC no longer does this on the label. Maybe she was a new employee, one who does not understand or collect comics thus does not know how to address the problem adequately without asking her immediate supervisor who intern, also does not collect comics and hands down a clear verdict, " NO" without ever once taking 2 minutes and communicate with me directly. Regardless, it's no one's fault, glad I have a way of getting this fixed. God Bless
  11. Sad news indeed about his passing! I bought a raw Warrior Magazine #1 on ComicConnect and it came with a certificate " ...Jon Berk collection ). My presser sent it off to to CGC and it recently came back with a blank label with no certificate because CGC lost it. I reached out to ComicConnect a few weeks back and they mentioned that the certificate would be reissued and mailed to me. I have yet to receive it !!! Will call them again a 4th time to see if it was mailed out. My presser and I e-mailed CGC customer service and the lady wrote back that CGC no longer adds " ...Jon Berk Collection" . That it was done in the past but no longer now. I was confused and wrote back that CGC should and must respect a book if it has a certificate of authenticity from this collection. Her following reply simply reiterated that CGC no longer labels it as such. Am I missing something here gentlemen? Is the lady at customer service correct? I feel cheated by such a response. Anyone here experienced the same or know someone at CGC who actually knows how to help fix this because they understand why my book should have the proper label? Thanks for any advice and contact information I could use to reach someone at CGC in the know.
  12. This issue is especially difficult to find as a Canadian Price Variant in very high grade. There's also no CPV for issue #2 (35 cents).
  13. Any Canadian Price Variant Vamps and Creepy in the highest grades?
  14. I’m interested in Vampirella’s in top grade but they need to be Canadian Price Variants. Any of those? Also Creepy 146 CPV in 9.6-9.8 CPV
  15. Regardless, even in 9.0 CPV that's a great book to own...congrats!
  16. Nice. #1 CPV mag on the cpv price guide! Can't see the back but looks like a possible 9.4???
  17. 7 graded in 9.8 Canadian Price Variant at CGC (5 Blue label and 2 SS) . And another 2 copies in 9.8 restored. The owner of this copy had it for at least 1 year from what I recall.
  18. Hi Everyone, the FREE 2023 Canadian Price Variant Newsstand Guide was released yesterday, check it out and enjoy: http://www.cpvpriceguide.com
  19. Did anyone see some top grades on key Canadian Price Variants at the FanExpo in Toronto?
  20. David, reach out to me when you get it graded. I'd be interested depending what it comes back as. We could meet in person.
