A July 1987 issueGRADED 9.0 (with WHITE pages) by CGC!!(but it looks NICER, IMHO) plus . . . a BONUS UNSTAMPED copy ofthis FREE COMIC BOOK DAY issue . . . 2020'sUsagi Yojimbo in AT LEAST NEAR MINT condition so you'll have easy access to a Usagi Yojimbo story to read while you admire your CGC 9.0 copy of 1987's #1!! See below for complete information on the condition of this beautifully-preserved classic issue Long term storage in a Mylar bag with an acid-free boarduntil submission to CGC in April of 2020! This issue was bagged and boarded since purchase and (since 1990, when I learned about the superior results attainable with archival storage products and moved my entire collection into those products) it was preserved in a thick archival Mylar bag with a heavy-weight acid-free board, and stored in my smoke-free, pet-free, climate-controlled home. It was removed from its Mylar bag for the first time to be graded by CGC!! I submitted it to CGC to be graded and sealed and it was returned, with a 9.0 Grade in May of 2020. This copy, both before and after processing by CGC, NEVER has spent a single day in an attic, basement or storage unit, (and it NEVER will as long as I own it!) Since I received it from CGC it has been stored in, and it will be shipped to its new owner in, its CGC-issued protective polybag.Thanks to careful handling, and long-term storage in Mylar, and despite turning 35 years old in 2022, this issue STILL looks BEAUTIFUL, especially in its CGC case with its Universal label displaying its 9.0 grade and specifying that it still has WHITE pages!! Note that the photos used in this listing are not stock images. They are images of the exact copy being offered for sale. The photos show the covers, the CGC Universal label with the issue's Grade plus creator and content details, and all the corners, edges and ends of the brand new CGC case. Check out other CGC-graded copies, with grades in the 9.0 to 9.4range, that are available for sale and compare their pix (and prices) to the ones in this listing, and you'll see for YOURSELF that this is a particularly GREAT looking copy - actually appearing (IMHO) better than the 9.0 grade it received (and it comes with that 2020 FCBD issue, with its GORGEOUS wrap-around cover, in a Mylar bag with an acid-free board)!!
