I was able to download a free App from Google called 'PHOTOSCAN' and it removed the glare...works on slabs as well. I posted the foil pic here for your review...thanks!

ok, cool. I copied and it reduced the size and tweaked it some, and have submitted it as a variant. The background color may be iffy, but good enough for now.

Sony wrote back and gave me the same dumb answer---"we only have the 1 comic for sale on the site'. I've asked twice, simply, 'did you make two versions of the cover?'. how hard is that to answer?

anyway, guess that it's on this book for now. thanks to you and Xvipah for the info/pics.]]> Fri, 17 Feb 2023 18:42:48 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=17724 Message from tarn kronos

Tarn, CPG needs square-on pics, which you can do by standing over the comic and holding your phone directly above it, but not sure how reflective that cover may be that way, so your/camera reflection could show in the pic. A scan would be better, maybe you know someone with a scanner? Lots of free sites to use that will reduce the physical size and file size, and crop it to the edges, or if you have a real computer, you may have a built-in photo editor, windows usually includes one.

update hours later---Sony had replied around noon, but it went to a spam folder, which doesn't tell you it has anything in it until you hover over the folder, so just saw it tonight.

and as usual, you don't get a direct/correct answer to the question from any company any more. They said they 'only had the 1 comic version AVAILABLE now, and the link I sent to 1 of the foil sets was sold out.' argh. not what I asked them, so explained again what we wanted to know.

but methinks it's answered anyway now, so getting a good pic of the foil version for someone to submit is the next thing to get this done.

The title is in gold on both, but other than that they look different to me. Like Ozzy's face and all the hands are also gold, it says "Foil Edition" on the slab itself, etc... Also, if you look at the link I posted above, it says "+ Gold Foil Cover Comic Book" even though it shows the regular one (I'ma guess lazy marketing or that the foil ones were all sealed already)]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2023 11:13:25 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=17724 Message from collectibleshop tarn kronos wrote:
The have two unsigned copies of the foil Variant and can take a pic if needed. If so then could someone could walk me through where to send a pic? Thanks...
Also, the foil variant also came with the LTD. Super Deluxe 2LP Vinyl Box Set.

Do you have any others from 1 of the other album sets to compare? I'm beginning to think there's no variant edition. All the pics on Ozzy's site of the comic look the same, but there's no stand-alone ones of just the comic. The ones on e*** are inconclusive due to mostly bad pics or square-on good pics that all make the title look the same, so hard to tell if it's gold foil or just gold ink. CGC has been known to make mistakes with variants that do and don't exist, so they may not be correct either. I've notified them of multiple variant identification problems myself.

And it's not clear if the 'foil' part only refers to the title, or the whole cover, since they can do whole foil covers of course, but since only the title is in gold, I'd think it's only the title that would be foil. You or Xvipah could clear that up for us. I just emailed Sony Music to ask them if there were 2 versions of the comic, so will post if/when they answer.

So you can take some pics and attach them to a post, but unless you have both supposed versions, it may not tell us much. Use the 'attach files' button at the bottom of the post area.

fun city....

Thanks, Ron. Should I add the foil cover as a variant? Like I said, I can scan in the one I have, but it is signed and in a case so it may not make the best pic.

based on usual CPG standards, a signed copy wouldn't do, as it may confuse collectors since there are normal unsigned ones, so you don't want people to think there's only signed copies, although most are, going by the CGC census. I don't think it's that important at this point to have a pic of the foil version since they both have gold ink titles and look almost identical in the pics I've found. Eventually a scan of an unsigned copy will show up on e*** or google images that's usable. No biggie either way. if you scan yours and it comes out ok, I assume you can crop out the CGC case to the edge of the comic.]]> Wed, 15 Feb 2023 19:04:50 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=17724 Message from Ronbatman Thanks,

Found a pic on reddit:

but not CPG quality to submit, which is what I was looking for. found multiple pics, but either too small/part of a group shot, signed, or angled etc.. Someone needs to scan one somewhere. and the foil is so similar to the regular cover it's hard to tell the difference in pics, like on Ozzy's site with that blue smoke set. I could crop out just the comic, but it looks the same as the regular pic one. no biggie, CPG can list a foil version and just wait for someone to find a pic some day.]]> Sun, 12 Feb 2023 18:09:16 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=17724 Message from Xvipah73 ]]> Sun, 12 Feb 2023 17:44:08 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=17724 Message from Xvipah73 https://ozzyosbournemusic.shop.musictoday.com/product/Y4LPOZ039/convention-exclusive-2lp-blue-smoke-vinyl-wtodd-mcfarlane-cover-variant-gold-foil-cover-comic-book]]> Sun, 12 Feb 2023 17:20:35 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=17724 Message from collectibleshop Xvipah73 wrote:

some sellers say it's limited to 5,000, but the website just says limited edition, but likely it's stated in the package.
CGC census info says: Art Comments: Todd McFarlane story & cover, Jonathan Glapion art

e*** prices are all over the place as usual, most are for the whole CD or LP & comic package, but the site still says they have it for $19.98 for the CD package, or at least it loads in the shopping cart that way. There's a foil cover variant too, but can't find a good pic of an unsigned copy so far, so not gonna waste more time on it.

pic attached of the regular version.

I can't find an "official" site for it, but there's a bunch up on ebay. I also have a CGC SS slab of it myself. Just 1 example (no way it's worth 1k+):
