PeterPark Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Just purchased this Cerebus 1. I believe it to be a real copy and am thinking of getting it graded. It is less dirty than some other real copies but I have included photos to show why I think it is the real deal (matte cover, red dot soldier, stippled cerebus on the dragon splash page, etc.). Thanks in advance for any opinions and I'm looking forward to what you've got to say! Edited April 1, 2019 by PeterPark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It'sOnlyRight Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 7.0 at most after a good press. Too many ticks. 6.5 as is imo PeterPark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 6.0 IMO. PeterPark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDNComix Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Nice copy! I definitely believe that it will come back as a certified real copy. I have heard (whether it true or just opinion) the CGC is a little tolerant with regard to grading and Cerebus #1 spine ticks (a known production issue).

Stingrayiii Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Before press I say 5.0. After could be 6.5. PeterPark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPark Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Nobody with this experience? How about anyone that submitted a copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingrayiii Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 It's a very rare book to begin with. So not to many have sent them in to be graded or pressed. There have only been 226 graded so far. I have sent in two to get graded over time. One came back as a 7.0 and the other 6.0. This was a long time ago before I knew anything about pressing. But that book could do well with a good pressing.

Asianassassincomics Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I think it's a 6.0 even after a press. Because those are deep spine ticks. 5.0 or 5.5 in current condition due to the spine roll. PeterPark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 5.5-6.0 as is. Pressing should bump a half grade at least to a hopeful 6.0-6.5. If you got a 7.0 or better, you should be elated. PeterPark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lions Den Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) I don't see any reason why it couldn't be pressed (unless someone else here knows something I don't...please feel free to respond). And that dot matrix on the cover is pretty difficult to duplicate, so I would lean toward it being authentic. A nice mid-grade copy...6.0 or so...
