  1. I have the comic book lying on top of a black school folder. Someone in another post thought it was part of the book I was asking about.
  2. I have a first print of Bone 4, that Jeff Smith signed and drew on at a comic con in 94 or 95. The biggest condition problem I see is on the back cover, upper right. Could that be pressed out, or could the book be pressed at all with the signature? There's also a small bend on upper right of front cover with possible color break that's hard to see (I can't tell if it's a color break or a whitish line from the art). Also, because of the signature, I know I'd get a qualified grade if CGC graded it, so if I was going to sell, would it be better to sell ungraded?
  3. No problem. It does have an especially glossy cover.
  4. it is out of the bag; it's resting on the bag and board. You're right about the spine tick. I didn't notice that; there's a very light spine tick that doesn't break color. I can scan it, but it doesn't sound like it's in the 9.6-9.8 range like I was hoping.
  5. How much would the bottom right corner of back cover bring the grade down? I don’t see any defects besides that.
  6. I saw a 9.8 one of these sell for a decent price on eBay, so I wondered if my copy was a 9.8. Besides very slight imperfection to bottom left corner it looks flawless. The top staple isn’t perfectly flush on the edge; I don’t know if that brings it down. I’d be pretty surprised if it was less than 9.6, but I think it could very well be 9.8. Thanks.
  7. The bottom left corner has a slight split, and the bottom right isn't very sharp. Beyond that, it looks to be in great shape.
  8. Where do you see creases? Are you looking at the black folder that the book is placed on?
  9. Interesting. Is it possible cgc has it wrong? It says second series on mycomicshop.com Either way, thanks for the grade.
  10. It has some scuff marks on lower front cover, but seems to be in nice shape beyond that.
  11. Thanks for the grade. Didn’t know the stress marks would affect the grade that much, but better to find out now instead of sending it to cgc, expecting a 9.6
