  1. I think this is a good result. Thanks to @Hoarder for restarting the debate and to the CGC higher ups for listening to and acting on the views of all the subsequent contributors. Perhaps this principle could be adopted for all books with identifiable variations in future.
  2. Does CGC have a “why?” Thanks for the effort and time in getting us the answer so far! Thanks Mike. @CGC Mike The Duck beat me to it but, as he says, it's pretty clear we're looking for the 'why' here. Could you get us the why?
  3. Understood, if I may respond, but things evolve buttock If you were presented with an opportunity to buy a copy for a rich client, and were shown two slabbed copies with broadly similar grade, eye appeal and pricing, but one was noted as a 'Now On Sale' copy, the other an 'On Sale June 2nd', which would you choose for your client? And why?
  4. Agreed. @CGC Mike Mike, could you ask the team what the official CGC position is on this please? If Superman #1 is one of the most important comics in the hobby, and it is clear that there are different printings of the guts at least (with two versions identifiable by the advert for Action #14 - see below) should that difference not be noted on the label? Maybe Matt would be the one to ask. Cheers, Steve
  5. Indeed. From what I've read so far we only have pictorial evidence of two different versions of the guts. The covers were printed separately of course, so it would be cool if there was an identifiable difference between them too. Indeed again. That may be for reasons other than general laxity though. This is one of the most important comics in the hobby, so salient differences should be noted. But if noting those differences effectively renders one version as a subsequent printing, I can see how that might ruffle a few feathers among the elite group that actually own a copy.
  6. Excellent, nice to see the two versions at last.
  7. I found this on YouTube which shows the Action #14 back page (on sale June 2nd): I wonder if anyone has ever managed to do a page by page comparison of the two alleged inside back page copy versions (I say alleged because I've yet to see a picture showing the 'on sale now' version)? I do a lot of this kind of thing, comparing variations side by side, but generally on much cheaper books!
  8. The Duck from sfcity seems quite clued up on old variations and printings: I can find the same info in words everywhere, but pictures seem hard to come by.
  9. Every Andru page is a wondrous page, but I'm not too keen on the Spidey nose profile in the second and third panels The back page doodle looks like something you'd see on a Ditko Charlton horror cover
  10. Yes, the 'd' word fell foul of the profanity filter, much to the amusement of dark haired girl admirers board-wide. The Profanity Filter could actually be a PKD title as it goes... Let us know what the GN is like.
  11. Do you remember years back when you couldn't type the word rover? The board software converted it to something like irishaffliatesnotallowed, something like that.
  12. Indeed. He knew what he was doing in a way that few have done before or since.
  13. Here, changing the subject, see how long you can look at my latest off-register Voodoo before you go cross eyed... I was telling Kev and Neil how much I've always liked this one. That's an outrageous load of white space at the top, isn't it. Neil likes the 'Adult Comic' wording. He's into adult things... @nmtg9
  14. Nay Richmond, nay. Like so many things that have stayed with me (Get Carter, The Wicker Man, The Medusa Touch...) I first saw it on my trusty old black and white telly in my bedroom. Must've been around 14 or 15. I joined Six of One, skipped half a dozen of the other, and off it went from there. 40 odd years at Sixes and sevens. When I first joined here, I had McGoohan as my avatar for a while and used countless Prisoner gifs to annoy every one. Looking back, I annoyed everyone quite successfully. I had a Fall Out style FDQ exit planned at one point but a lengthy ban put paid to that. I returned, unmutual. It makes me laugh now when I think of how stupid I was when I first joined this forum. Never had any friends you see, so I got a bit over excited. My first foray into 'online'. A 50 year old acting like a five year old. Calmed down a bit since. Still stupid though.
  15. Yes, I had a good feeling, being there. The Prisoner overall, but Patrick's performance especially, is one of the things that took hold of me in my early teens, and never left. It affected and still affects me in a way I can never quite put into words. When I die, if there was a hat in which ten or so things were placed that made their mark, family and friends aside, Number 6 would be one of them.
