I don't know why I picked up JUDGE DREDD off the stands, especially for me, with a red cover.... Maybe it was the PRINCE BUSTER song that was playing on KALX ("I sentence you to 500 years!"). Maybe, it WASN'T the "He is The Law" part, but moreover, the bashed skinhead, and a Dead Kennedy's 'Nazi Punks Flick Off' feeling I had then, and still have to this day (sexism, racism, agism IS obsolete). Nevertheless, I REALLY like the character(s) and BRIAN BOLLAND's art. I bought ones (I think) and threes from Rory (...great COMIC BOOK guy!), at THE BEST OF TWO WORLDS, and ones (, but NOT threes) from another great, distributor Bud Plant, Inc., in Grass Valley, California (... , BUT I have gotta find that BP INVOICE! ...to make sure. These all might be direct sale newsstand copies, from RR and BOTW. DID I buy forty copies off the stands?!) (I swore I sourced them from both, but I gotta make sure. ...more later.)
..., AND the copies off the [Best of Two Worlds] stands were more IMMACULATE than, fresher than, the BP copies. Those BP books all seem to have solid 1/8th inch flecks at the top, and/or bottom of the spines. I guess it was box-wear. (I know there was a difference....) Recently, I could not recall the difference between the two, but after digging them out, having them third-part graded by CGC, and.... (Sometimes, interestingly, I could tell, Rory hated it when I did that ..buy a stack of ten copies! I couldn't figure out why, but I guess he didn't like it when I bought alot of what he liked too.) Besides, I'd go in to Best of Two Worlds, and if I found a NEW (i.e., cover-price) comic book on my target list, I'd carefully pick up a stack, letting gravity do the work, and either select or not. Usually, if the books were good, one could skip maybe a top copy or two. ...same for the back copies. Generally, they would NOT BE MIXED; if they were bad, then most were that bad; if they were that good, it would behoove one to be more selective and make the sale.
That's what I did with these. (I remember the poorer copies, and I swear, getting ones in the mail. Maybe, I only bought ones and threes after I saw what came from BP that time on an order of ones. I'll have to get the remainder going, and see what's up.

It is entrirely possible that this 9.8 has barely nary a fingerprint on it!

This was listed on HA
with a short offer

if I were upped one,
then I would lose the deal.

So,
after a few minutes of realization,
I commited to the seller's price.

(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.

(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.
