Both books are waaaaaaay overgraded. The VF+ sems a 4.0 to me, and the NM is a F/VF at best. The same buyer bought both books....fishy if you ask me

Seller (terence-anthony) Description: "THIS BOOK IS AT LEAST IN 9.2 NM- CONDITION. OVERALL THIS COMIC BOOK IS ON FRONT AND BACK COVER 9.4 NM (LIKE BLACK COLOUR IS BLACK COLOUR), BUT DUE TO THE FACT THAT ON THE FRONT COVER SOMEONE HAVE MADE A BLUE COLOR LINE (8 cm x 0,01 cm) UNDER THE STANDS OF THE GUY WHO IS FIGHTING WITH HELLBOY I HAVE GRADED THIS BOOK OVERALL WITH 9.2."

*NOTE-I requested and received a high resolution scan of this item. Then posted the pics to the grading section of CPG Forum http://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic24910-24-1.aspx . The concensus was 9.0-9.2 grade with mildly blunted right rear cover corners. The rest of the book appeared flawless, no creases/ folds/spine wear and without the usual rubbing of the black cover.

eBay Item Number:160260936024 End Date:July 27, 2008 Location: Germany

Winning Bid: $255.99

Thanks for the update, Marmat.

Below, I'm noting the details of the above eBay auction.

Seller (terence-anthony) Description:

"THIS BOOK IS IN 9.6 NM+ CONDITION. OVERALL THIS COMIC BOOK IS ON FRONT AND BACK COVER 9.6 NM+ (LIKE BLACK COLOUR IS BLACK COLOUR), ON THE FRONT COVER THERE IS A ERROR PRINT - A BLUE COLOR LINE (8 cm x 0,01 cm) UNDER THE STANDS OF THE GUY WHO IS FIGHTING WITH HELLBOY. WHEN I SOLD MY FIRST HELLBOY BOOK I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS MADE BY SOMEONE WITH A PENCIL, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY A ERROR PRINT (LUCKY SELLER), BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME BLUE LINE LIKE IN THE OTHER SOLD DIME PRESS 4 BY ME."

 

"FROM MY POINT OF VIEW THIS ERROR PRINT MAKES THE BOOK MUCH RARER THAN THE NORMAL EDITION. I THINK THAT NOT MUCH OF THE 2000 HAVE THIS ERROR PRINT - THE BLUE LINE."

*NOTE-I requested and received a high resolution scan of this item. But have received the same photos of a previous auction. These seem to be the same pics I posted to the grading section of CPG Forum http://www.comicspriceguide.com/boards/Topic24910-24-1.aspx. It would appear the seller is using stock photographs regardless of the grade differences. The concensus of the photos were 9.0-9.2 grade with mildly blunted right rear cover corners. The rest of the book appeared flawless, no creases/ folds/spine wear and without the usual rubbing of the black cover.

eBay Item Number: 160273217018 End Date:Aug 24, 2008 Location: Germany

Winning Bid: $475.00

One more note:To date, an online search for this historic first appearance issue (both raw and CGC graded) has yielded only to eBay availabiliy and past purchases.

seller(teobbes) descrip: "...change to buy a very clean copy of this rare and hot book for a fraction ...I grade this copy as NM (9.2) at least."

*Note- Cover wear includes: several spinal creases/ ticks, moderate rubbing of black cover (rear and front), wavy contour of back cover, ink chipping from spine, blunted lower left corner (impact damage) Rear cover telling of book's off-shelf life and use. Book appears less than described NM 9.2. Another case of OOG: over-optimistic grading.---actual condition no higher than FINE+ 6.5

eBay item number: 320290097769 end date: August 31, 2008 Location: Manises, Comunidad Valenciana, Spain

Winning Bid: $207.50
