| I recently picked up a page from CPA just for the novelty and was wondering if others had any thoughts about CPA (the company) or about picking up individual pages in general? I saw in one of these threads that someone had posted a CGC page from GA Batman #1 (which we thought was VERY cool) so I am guessing with the GA prices beyond many of us that pages are now an official thing. Anyway, here's mine...   |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| Some of us have already expressed our thoughts about CPA here: https://forum.cbcscomics.com/topic/14482/page/2/cpa-comic-page-authentication/ I suppose it seems kind of cool if the page was already completely loose from the book, but mangling a book to intentionally sell the pages individually is a travesty. |

Most collectors hate the fact that it completely ruins the book and I agree with them but years ago I saw a single page signed by Stan Lee from the moment that Dr. Strange becomes all powerful and I thought it was a unique piece so I had to have it |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nuffsaid111I have wondered if it was actual AC1 pieces and not later reprint pieces which are visually identical for those specific pieces. I know the paper could be tested to match the era, but A lot of scary blind trust is still involved in that one. |

Quote:Originally Posted by flandersI agree and have mixed feelings. A significant survivor piece is cool to me. It could also lead to restoring a an incomplete book. Parting a book for maximizing profit is gross. |

Quote:Originally Posted by HulkSmash Authentication of something like that initially got me thinking of likelihood of error or fraud. There was, however, a prior auction of comic fragments (including that No.1) - it was a scrapbooked collection by someone who was a little kid during that era. The person who purchased that scrap booked copy appears to be the one who sold the fragment. To use a facsimile piece wouldn’t make sense in that case because of the extreme rarity and provenance… it would be immediately questioned. I think I posted a link and more info in the No.1 auction thread. In conclusion, no-one is cutting up an AC1 to sell fragments and in the case of the No.1 it was previously part of an already cut-up assortment of golden age books. People spend hundreds (or thousands) on modern comics with zero cultural significance. In comparison to that, these single pages (or even fragments) of truly meaningful and rare books look like bargains. |

| This guy at a convention I attended had an Amoeba from Detective 27 that he had retained in a glass jar. Does CGC verify Amoeba's and/or other micro-organisms from comics? |

| I guess my final comment, and thanks all for your input, is that it is VERY hard for me to consider anything in the poor to fair range (hell, sometimes the "good" isn't good enough) so I'd almost rather have that one decent page than the rest of the book that looks like shredded dog vomit. | ||
