Diamond Comic Distributors exclusive.

Collects Bram Stoker's Dracula #1-4

Trading card insert.

Purchased Raw: 11/19/2021 - $45

Grade Date: 9/19/2022

This book was distributed shrink-wrapped with a set of the trading cards, the same cards also included separately with Bram Stoker’s Dracula #’s 1-4. This book is actually the four issues bound together in trade paperback format, with a trading card promo sheet inserted between the front cover and first issue. The book was still sealed when I purchased it off eBay, it was fun to carefully remove the shrink wrap and set the cards aside.

I sent this book to Classic Collectible Services (CCS) before grading, the book corners were curled from being sealed for close to 30 years, the trading cards also left several imprints on the front cover. I’m actually pleased with the grade, I was hoping for a 9.8 but due to the distribution method I knew that grade would be difficult to obtain. There is still a slight impression on the front cover from one of the trading cards, only noticeable when held at an angle.

This is the first example of this book to be graded by CGC, it was not the CCG database, so I submitted it as Bram Stoker’s Dracula TPB, Previews Edition variant. The book was first labeled Bram Stoker’s Dracula #1, after a Mechanical Error review CGC corrected the label to match the back cover indicia.

I still do not know much about this book, the only information I could find about it was on mycomicshop.com. I would love to know how many of these were made and if they were sent to retailers or if this was a give away. If you have any additional information on this please send me a message.

Update: 12/11/22

The story on this book has a new chapter, in December, 2022, I received a rejection notice from CCS. I thought this was a mistake at first but CCS was actually several months behind on their emails. CCS could not press this book because of the trading card insert, as pressing could have potentially damaged this book.
