I was curious whether there are fakes of Shonen Weekly 1999 #43 -- the first Naruto story? I bought Naruto's first appearance - technically speaking - from 1997 Akamaru Jump but I feel a tad bit confident with that due to its rarity and the fact it has a poster attached inside ~

Hey, thanks Yeah, that was my justification too, and not sure why it's classed as his 2nd cameo appearance - never heard of a second cameo appearance in comics before - due to the amount of panels, and that he's physically present as oppose to #6 which you suggested ~

Static: Shadows Of Dakota [Coipel Foil] #1: 1st appearance of Ebon in comics. Nikolas Draper-Ivey and Vita Ayala story. Nikolas Draper-Ivey art. Olivier Coipel cover.

I was wondering what grade do you think this is? Would this benefit from a clean and a press? Would that increase the grade? All comments are welcomed! Thanks!

Some recent key issue acquirements: the 1st appearances of Merlyn and Count Vertigo, respectively

Recent additions to my 2000 AD collection: 2000 AD Progs 6, 10, and Judge Dredd Megazine # 211: #6; 5th appearance of Judge Dredd. #10; 1st appearance of Walter the Wobot and Call-Me-Kenneth. JDM #211: 1st appearance of Cursed Earth Koburn. Great issues, by the way 2000 AD Progs 535, and 536: #535; 1st appearance of Maximan and Masterman. #536; 1st appearance of Zenith (Robert McDowell).

As there's currently 260 on the CGC Census I just thought it'd be time start this thread

2000 AD Progs 88, 89, 92, 93, 95 and 96 #88; 2nd appearance of Max Normal and 3rd appearance of Deputy Judge Cal. #89; Judge Cal becomes Chief Judge of Mega City One. #92; 1st appearance of Judge Holbein, Judge Kelso, and Judge Pepper. #95; Death of Deputy Chief Judge Fish.

Woah that's great! WOOHOO! Best of luck with that ~ The regular version at the moment ~

That's not my copy, but one that was listed on eBay last year as I used the image as I wished to contact CGC about submitting my copies of the issue to grade ~ You'd have to ask CGC that, but if it's without the badge at all that'd be a green label ~ But I guess - to answer your question - it would depend on the damage

Thanks a lot but didn't realise it was a big Superman key, Robot Man ~ I guess the fear was also if I resubmitted it they'd see it as trimmed as opposed to a mis-cut, given that the book was encapsulated in 2004 ~

My most expensive purchase to date: Superman #30 (1944) (paying a little above the Overstreet price) -- surpassing Static #1 (Platinum) and Miracleman #1 (Gold edition) ~ I'm not awfully into Superman comics, per se, but I've always been intrigued by Mister Mxyzptlk ~ Not sure whether a clean and a press would even be worth it in this case, as I wouldn't wish to jinx the 8.0 Just curious whether white pages are common for a 40's comic?

Awww nice!

Yeah to be honest Well it's a bit of what @Black_Adam said below, coupled with the fact isn't it recommended to reholder every 7-10 years? That's the issue I was referring to, though I didn't know about the micro chamber paper changes :O

A few additions I wanted to post -- the last comic been a rather special one, too Great stuff! Not often you see Heroes encapsulated either

The worry, I guess, that I have is that this book was encapsulated in 2004 coupled with: a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush -- would potential damage occur based on the grader notes or even a lower grade been awarded? Or would more potential damage occur if I don't reholder it? Not sure if a clean and a press would be suited given the grader notes or whether a miscut could be misconstrued as an act of trimming given possible changes with CGC in the past 19 years? All comments are welcomed

I was wondering what grade do you think this is? There's one rusted staple and some yellowing/tanning throughout. Would this benefit from a clean and a press? Would that increase the grade? All comments are welcomed! Thanks!

Another LOS-H #298 in my collection

Thanks a lot! Would a clean and a press help at all?
