Anybody know the story behind this?:

Are you asking for a grade? I think it has a strong shot at an NG or NG+ (thumbs u

I wonder what the grader's notes are. Anyone know?

Small scan but looks about 9.4.

Or 9.9

Looks nicer than some Cerebus counterfeits I have seen

i wonder if the cover is a simple laser copy stapled over an authentic coverless x-men # 94? i can't imagine somebody printing up the entire book!

I wrote the seller. Apparently it's photo-copied. Probably very easy to ID out of its slab.

The whole thing is photocopied, or just the cover?

I was told the whole thing is a photocopy. Hence the counterfeit label, instead of a Purple restoration grade and slab, if it was just the cover or centerfold.

to match the paper type inside would be very difficult i'd think, so yes, it would probably be somewhat easy to determine that this was a copy if held in hand.

btw, are there more than one of these known to exist?

If this book is just photocopies, and not even a "printed" counterfeit comic, then I'm even more confused as to why CGC agreed to slab it in the first place.

 

So you can just run off photocopies of any random key book, and CGC will slab them for you?

[Speedy-D]

yeah that's just ridiculous
