TheycallmeArchie Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Here's my Archie #10 I bought on eBay around 1999-2000, along with a couple other early Archie's. The picture quality isn't that great, sorry about that. Fun cover with all the Archie heads. archiecomicscollector, comicdonna, Point Five and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 CGC quality control at its less than finest. I had the book reholdered but never rescanned it. archiecomicscollector, TheycallmeArchie and ThothAmon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every copy I have ever seen has writing on the cover for some reason. To be fair I haven't chased it like I have other books, but I have always been watching it to see if I could snag a decent copy.

TheycallmeArchie Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Thanks for the welcome Archiecomicscollector. I bought this Archie #9 at the same time as the #10. I sent this to CGC as I thought it looked better than the 10. It came back with the restored label. It doesn't really bother me as it's still a pretty nice book and the restoration is pretty light. This was probably graded in 2002 or so. I wonder if the grade would be different if I were to unslab it and send it back in? Does CGC even count a piece of tape on the back cover as restoration anymore? archiecomicscollector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should see if that glue/tape can be removed. I think there's a chance the future of this comic could be a 2.5-3.0 blue (with a detached cover).

Doesn't anyone compare the label to the book before encapsulating it? I wonder which title it's listed under in the census. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m ok with LT/OW I never comment about books that I consign that do poorly but I don't mind saying that you got a great book here at a great price. I wasn't happy with the LT/OW PQ but some timing issues prevented me from asking them to reconsider the PQ. Sometime in the future, if you decide to roll the dice, an 8.0 with C/OW could be the result. gadzukes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheycallmeArchie Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Happy New Year everybody. Here is my Archie #8. It is the worst of the 3 I bought together. There is a small binding tear and the cover is attached at the staple but not as securely as I would like. This is actually an upgrade for me as the previous one had a loose cover and centerfold. This is a hard one for me to find in decent shape. I'm not really looking to upgrade this one but if the right copy came along, I could be persuaded. archiecomicscollector, BriD., Patriot6 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lotemo Posted January 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2019 I bought this raw on ebay a while back and finally had it graded. It was sold as fine condition.

Popular Post lotemo Posted January 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2019 One of my favorite Archie #1 issues is Archie Annual #1 from 1949. Here's my copy along with the Archie pin-up you received if you ordered it by mail. I really like the yellow and purple logo. archiecomicscollector, TheycallmeArchie, Mr. Lodge and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
