Owner's Description



(CGC Book #40) (TOP POP)


(BEST OF TWO WORLDS, ..

Direct-sale, newsstand, pedigree, One Owner, File Copy)

....One family owner 39+ years.


I bought this Judge Dredd #3 at the time of publication. This is a direct sale newsstand copy from THE BEST OF TWO WORLDS in Berkeley, Ca., where I met Rory [Root] and Bob [Beerbohm], and I already knew Ken [Lupoff]; we were neighbors, and grew up in Berkeley together. I'd visit each of those guys at BEST OF TWO WORLDS, 3 times or more a week.

***

So, this is the 12th cgc'd Judge Dredd #3.

This is the 5th Universal 9.8 Judge Dredd #3,

...now listed in CGC populations.

With these..

Judge Dredd #3 looks like this:

9.8: 5 (3 - can't's)(Rory Roots', BOTW)
9.6: 4 (2 - can't's)(likely Rory R's, BOTW)
9.4: 1 (1 - can't's)(Bud Plant, Inc. copy?)
9.2: 1
9.0: 1
8.0: 1

***

This copy of Judge Dredd #3 has

a [cover-trimmed] "CUT-IN" No. 3,

making it.. [one of]

a scarcer variant for Judge Dredd #3s.

be able to match that, ever again!)

(11th cgc'd JD #3, 4th 9.8)

(On this particular Judge Dredd #3,

of all the Judge Dredd #3s I've seen, NONE had a back BLACK cover trimmed that showed triangular whiteness at the edge

(,and this one placed at 9.8, NM/MT!).

On this copy, the top of the bc, almost looks like a slight, standing-settling, 'twist-roll', but it is really 'trick of the eye.' (trompe l'oeil) I, truly, discovered what it was, that is, white cover stock!, under magnification.)

(For the most part, when I submit comics to be 'corner-stoned', I leave them as they are in the polyester sleeves. If it has a rec'd. date, owner initial [ibc border, or last page, for me], discount rate, autograph(s), signature(s), or other notes, then..

I will re-handle it, to confirm what is written, and the exact-est provenance, from this current later date, for that file copy, or otherwise, back issue, Distr. copy, etc..)

It is certain that these books were not read, put into mylar snugs, and acid-free backed, and placed in acid-free boxes.. like.. 'Amontillado'.. locked away into 'Casques'.. at the time of publication.. until I joined CGC this year, and got right back into....

Well, you know th' SO MANY pluses.

***

THANK YOU AFFICIANADOS, (esp. RUNE, SAM, and ROBIN !!!) YOU MAKE THIS ENTERPRISE MOST ADVENTUROUS, and YOU'VE SAVED MY NECK.. (with many others like Bob in AZ, Londoner David, the wolfman!, J-W TEXAS....) a few times.

***

These Judge Dredd #3 comics are part of
the same "Family _lot."

All of these are/were One Owner books,
file copies
from this .. 27-year-plus..
SCRATCH THAT!
