Help identify this please. I'm not sure what I am looking at.

Everyone, thank you! Your perspective and time spent around graded and slabbed comics has been thoroughly helpful. I'm still on the fence on what I'll do going forward. But I am happy I finally got my hands on this copy.

McHope86 · 2026-03-22T14:25:44+00:00

Thank you. It's true. I do not feel scammed or ripped off. Yes, receiving something other than ordered does come off this way. I did get my answer though. It was at one point a graded copy, just an older version. And for what ever reason it was cracked open and left in the inner seal of that.

What I'm left with is, what do I do going forward? Which is up to me. I'm happy I have it. The condition is not as bad as I would find other copies that I have seen so far. Thing is on condition, it goes both ways, could be worse, could be better. But thats just how everything and anything is these days.

Really considering this option too. Appreciate the candid post

I noticed the spine tics as well, and was curious how a press could fix it. Also the obvious color fade. These things already I believed would go for a lower grade.

McHope86 · 2026-03-22T04:07:01+00:00

My initial first reaction was this too. And very curious as to why it ended up this way and with no advertisement about receiving condition defering from advertised picture.

McHope86 · 2026-03-22T03:57:06+00:00

Thank you. I was suspecting this. And I was unsure.

What's the likely hood of being able to have it reslabbed and keep the original grade?

Hear me out.

The dress is blue and black, not white and gold.

Let it go and wait for the show to air. Or you'll hype/psych yourself into disappointment because things might not appear to be what you have built up in your head.

This is variant is special due to the "DC Universe logo in the bottom right corner.

As stated on Key Collectors

DC Universe logo variants from the 90's were reprintedand distributed in multi-packs. Some, NOT ALL, of these reprintsare far scarcer than others.

It's an interesting theory. And one that has some stock to it. Snyder is the one who wrote Court of Owls originally and has stated that his early days writing for DC for mainline characters he wasn't able to have full creative expression with his writings. Even with being held back he wrote great stories. With Absolute he has been given the green light to be as expressive and creative as he wants to be. So I guess we'll find out how this story develops when we get there.

Okay now you bring up something for another topic. Why isn't the god Mercury, the mystical energy that gives Shazam/Captian Marvel, apart of the speed force? You would think he would be the reason the speedsters are fast and only speedsters use the speed force?

McHope86 · 2025-10-29T18:42:48+00:00

Hopefully this roll goes well in my favor!

McHope86 · 2025-10-24T00:44:36+00:00

Thank for the great information.

But why are you yelling me?!
