It's possible that only one or two offered the gold and blue MM, but which one(s) is a good question. I wish the paperwork had survived.

jdandns Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 It's probably not helpful because Ebay title lines allowed so few characters back then, I didn't have the room to list what serial number it was, but here's the email from Ebay with the sale details. The name of the person I sold it to is not in the list above, so I'm not sure if he passed it on, or still has it. If I'm remembering correctly, this book was raw when I got it in a lot purchased from Ebay for, I believe, $40 or so, sometime in the early to mid 2000's. There were several comics in the lot, seemingly unrelated, and there wasn't much to the description of any of them, it just mentioned something like "Miracleman #1 signed". I'm not even sure it said who had signed, but I really wanted the lot for the copy of "Spidey Super Stories #1" that was in it, so I didn't worry much about the MM. Obviously, I thrilled to find it was the Gold Edition with certificate, which I was aware of, being a big Moore fan since the mid 80's. I was even happier when I sold it, which I did at that point only because I'd acquired other Moore signatures by then. My seller name on Ebay is/was "jdandns", which is the same as my name here. As you can see, this was before we were highly incentivized to offer free shipping on all items, so I actually charged $6 for the shipping on this, which I think mostly covered priority mail with signature confirmation, which I certainly would've used on a book that sold for this much.

mucher_dk Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) I'll have to dig them out and check, but I don't remember the surface of my certificates (also have the blue) being this "textured". Did they switch to a different paper type at some point, or am I merely confused? From recent ebay auction: Not the sharpest photos in the world, but the best I can do right now (click on thumbnails to expand). PS: And, sorry, not color corrected either. Thoughts, anyone? PPS: Wow, this topic is even deader than I thought. No intellectual curiosity whatsoever. Well, never mind ...

The #164 certificate looks badly faded, but that could be due to lighting conditions (although I guess it can't be ruled out that saturation was reduced in an effort to hide discoloration).
