roccojoco Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Great research Rosland. If the 9.6 isn't a Signature Series resubmission, then it's looking more and more like an error. To have a 9.6 come out of the wild AND get signed by Sim, all in the past few months is highly doubtful.

No room here for a 9.6 file copy. Nice. I didn't think of checking through the "verify certification" tool. Very handy...you can see entire submissions if you know the number of a single book...

The jagged reading edge on ASM 300 is another. GOD BLESS.... Yes, but the types of production defects which you are describing on all of these other books cannot be worked on in order to eliminate or minimize them. In the case of the production spine ticks with the Cerebus 1 though, they might want you to send them into their partner company in hopes of minimizing the impact of this spine defect. After all, CCG is a business entity and it only makes business sense to pay attention to your top and bottom lines. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roccojoco Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 We know Sim kept 10 file copies and Deni got 10 in their divorce. Do we know if Deni has graded or parted ways with any of her copies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aman619 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Ive posted this before but speaking about the print run of Cerebus #1. When I was madly chasing early Cerebi copies, I did a lot of business with Harry Kremer. Real nice guy. I bought as many early issues as he still had (Cerebus was in the mid #30s then). He told me that when the first issue was delivered from the printer, He and Dave (partners to some degree on comics publishing like Octoberfest) spread them out in the living room (forget who's house) and saw that a lot were badly damaged. They complained to the printer. They said 400 copies were unsellable. The printer made a deal, "accept them and he'd print an extra 400 copies of #2 for free". For years Ive told the story and assumed the printer asked for the 400 damaged copies, making #1 print run only 1600, and #2 as 2400. But now I cant recall if Dave and Harry got to keep the 400, because, really, what was the printer going to do with them, except maybe take them back to keep Dave "honest?") Or, maybe because Dave knew stores wouldn't take damaged copies for sale as "new" books, he didn't want them either!? also, Dave was a comic reader and collector like us. Harry told me when the money started coming in, Harry was finding Early GA Supermans for Dave to collect. But Dave stopped fairly quickly and never pursued it after a while.

roccojoco Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 According to another thread and Kevin Boyd, he said Sim told him the tale of the 400 damaged #1 issues was untrue. "Dave said he has no idea where the 400 damaged copy rumour began, but it isn't true (as far as he knows). There is the possibility that Harry Kremer may have received 400 damaged copies, or they were damaged at his store at a later date (if so Harry didn't tell him)."

chasehasadog82 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) I know zilch about Cerebus but I came across the owner on another thread. Their name is MarvinTheMartian on the registry. There’s a picture of it too. Pretty cool stuff, a lot of great books in that collection Edited April 18, 2020 by chasehasadog82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World Devourer Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I'd be wanting to see the back of the comic, as every #1 I've seen up close has a chopped up back cover. After 42 years, a true 9.6 would be a cosmic fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
