Thank You Turtlex

These Checklists have been really helpfull

[turtlex]

Thanks, Kevin.

I just added a link at the top for a downloadable PDF of the checklist.

Enjoy!

[bluelph24]

there was also an issue of the Daily Bugle that featured Gunslinger born

Thanks, bluelph24 - I'm thinking to put together some kind of comic promo item checklist in the future.

Right now, I'm just focusing on the comics themselves. I love the Bugle though, hard to find for sure.

Thank you though, sincerely!

[Aaron]

I have that!

[pickle]

Me too i got it for £1 off ebay

[turtlex]

It's a nice find and sort of flew under the radar of most collectors ( yours truly included ).

[Aaron]

If I remember right, Patrick sent me mine. Now I have to try to find the Book Market variant. I didn't even know about it until this list.

[turtlex]

Aaron - The BMV is hard to find. I went through all kinds of circles and jumps to get one that had been graded at 9.8. There are only 44 of them in the entire world that are CGC graded that high! And only 55 of them that are CGC graded in total.

The BMV is the same Jae Lee cover as the number 1 issue, but has NOT FOR RESALE on the bottom left.

[sarah]

Thanks for the check list, turtlex. It's nice to see it all laid out so I know what I'm missing.

[turtlex]

Always glad to help.

[Aaron]

Excellent; thanks for the image. It's good to know what I'm looking for here.

Pam, could that be considered an Advance Reading Copy (ARC)?

John

[turtlex]

John - That's a good question. I'm not sure though, because as far as I know, it wasn't really an advanced copy, but just a freebie for the Book Market sellers.

[gsvec]

Were there BMVs for the 1st and 3rd arcs or did they just do it for the 2nd?

[turtlex]

Gretchen - the BMV is only for the first arc, for Gunslinger Born.

From all I've seen and checked via CGC, it was just the first.

Honestly, though Marvel expected a hit comic, I don't think they expected it to be a HUGE as it was.

[The Cosmic Geek]

Oh man, I am missing the Gunslinger sketchbook and Daily Bugle paper. I wonder if I can track them down at comic shops?

Yeah, I spaced on which arc it was. And thanks as always!!

Comic shops dont tend to keep Promo as a rule, once its gone its gone.

Your best bet would be Ebay, thats where i got mine.

I got the daily bugle for £1 or about $1.25

[turtlex]

Oh man, I am missing the Gunslinger sketchbook and Daily Bugle paper. I wonder if I can track them down at comic shops?

Your best bet would be for eBay at this point. Or an online comic book store with a big inventory. Both were gobbled up pretty fast. I've not see the Bugle around much - its sort of a newspaper, but the sketchbook comic one-shot shows up.

ETA: Yes, what pickle said !!!

Sketchbooks are a very common find on eBay. Just check regularly and you should find one easy.

Can someone please explain the grade classification?

[turtlex]

Hey herbert - This is their website : http://www.cgccomics.com

CGC is an independent grading company ( Certified Guaranty Company=CGC ).

The collector submits their comics to them for grading ( either via a local comic shop, an online comic shop, by joining the Collectors Society, or they also visit several Comic Cons a year where you can drop off comics for grading ).

Most current comics, if very carefully pulled and inspected, you could probably find at a 9.6 or 9.8 grade. I'm trying for a complete DT set, all at a minimum of 9.8.

Seeing anything higher than a 9.8 is not too common, but it happens.

Joe Hill seems to have a huge about of 9.9 and 10 comics out there, I've noticed. Very unusual.

As with all collectibles, small little things can really bring down a comic grading value.

This is the grading scale they use :

10.0 - Gem Mint
9.9 - Mint
9.8 - Near Mint/Mint
9.6 - Near Mint +
9.4 - Near Mint
9.2 - Near Mint -
9.0 - Very Fine/Near Mint
8.5 - Very Fine +
8.0 - Very Fine
7.5 - Very Fine -
7.0 - Fine/Very Fine
6.5 - Fine +
6.0 - Fine
5.5 - Fine -
5.0 - Very Good/Fine
4.5 - Very Good +
4.0 - Very Good
3.5 - Very Good -
3.0 - Good/Very Good
2.5 - Good +
2.0 - Good
1.8 - Good -
1.5 - Fair/Good
1.0 - Fair
.5 - Poor
