Description: CONAN THE BARBARIAN #17 An August 1972 issueGRADED 9.4 (with WHITE pages) by CGC!! And, as of 9/9/22, this is one of the 3rd HIGHEST GRADED copies in the CGC Census. The Census includes just 100 copies, with Universal Labels, that have ever been graded higher: seventy-nine 9.6s; and twenty-one 9.8s - none have ever earned a 9.9 or 10.0 grade from CGC!! (and, since this copy has WHITE pages, no CGC 9.4 can have a higher combination of Grade plus page color, meaning that this copy is TIED for 101st BEST COPY in CGC's CENSUS with a Universal Label!) plus . . . a BONUS copy of theTrue Believers reprint of CONAN THE BARBARIAN #1featuring the Origin and 1st Appearance of CONAN;plus the 1st Appearance of King KULL (in cameo) so you'll have easy access to a KEY CONAN STORY, to accompany the copy of CONAN THE BARBARIAN #17,which is sealed into its CGC holder! Written by ROY THOMAS; Art by GIL KANE & Ralph Reese; andCover by GIL KANE & Frank Brunner!! 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 July of 2021! 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 encased and it was returned, with a 9.4 Grade, in August of 2022 (AND - since it's more than a HALF CENTURY old - many of the copies that received a 9.4 grade will undoubtedly NOT have WHITE interior pages, like this copy does!!) 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 having turned 50 YEARS old in 2022, this issue STILL looks FANTASTIC, especially in its CGC case with a Universal Label displaying its 9.4 grade, and specifying that it 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 Grade, plus creator and content details, and all the corners, edges and ends of its CGC case that's in brand new condition. Check out other CGC-graded copies available for sale or recently sold on eBay, compare their pix to the ones in this listing, and you will see for YOURSELF that this is a particularly GREAT looking copy - WELL deserving the 9.4 grade that it earned!!
