The grade is in: PGM: Batman 423
travizb replied to travizb's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
The grade is in: 9.2 (notes attached). I performed my own pressing so I'm sure a pro could have bumped this perhaps to 9.4/9.6. -

Marf, you have a lot of nice issues. Where did you get all of these from?

[GRADE NOW IN] Batman #47 Acquired Today!!!

(clap clap) -
Awesome looking book, but it's definitely tanned. I was thinking 7/7.5
-
I'd be a happy with a .5 bump and the book presenting better (i.e. cleaned). Anything above a .5 bump would be gravy imo. Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I'd like to have @joeypost C&P this thing, @scburdet
-
I gambled on this one with the expectation that it will clean up nicely and that the "creases" mentioned in the notes will mostly clear up. The book was graded in August 2022 so a relatively recent submission.

I just edited the original post to include the notes and grade (6.5). Thanks light creasing to cover light finger bends on cover spine stress lines to cover

I haven't gotten this one in hand yet, but I was thinking of cracking, C&P, and resubmitting this one. What are your thoughts on potential grade for this? Thanks for your insights! Grade: CGC 6.5 Grader notes: light creasing to cover light finger bends on cover spine stress lines to cover

Wavy pages after a press
travizb replied to travizb's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
Thanks. I suspect it might be too much pressure. Will another press help? -
I recently purchased a clamshell press, and I have pressed about 20-30 books so far. I've noticed that several of them show wavy pages after bag/boarding. Attached are a couple of examples. Pressed at 160 F for 10 minutes, cold pressed (1/8 inch metal plates for 12 hours) I am located in Austin, TX area where we have a decent amount of humidity. Pictures attached: Joker issue (1975) Dredd issue (1984) A couple of questions for the group here: * How does waviness affect a CGC score? * What is the best way to fix books that have this problem after press? * What can I do to avoid having this problem in the first place. Thanks for your insight!

I was surprised to find this in a lot of batman books that I picked up a few weeks ago. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks!
-
Thanks for looking. This book needs some TLC, including a press, but what do you all think it will grade at before/after C&P? Me thinks 6ish.

PGM Star Wars #1 - Result in 8.5

All - I just received this slab from USPS off of ebay. The posting showed the scratch (see picture) on the slab, and I was planning on getting it reholdered since it is an older slab. The scratch appears to be on the *inside of the case* and there are some cracks along the exterior. Does this look like tampering or is it just stress cracking? In your opinions, will this require a regrade or will CGC simply reholder it? Thanks for your input!
