I received this copy today and it contains a black streak along the top edge of the comic. Is this a "remainder mark" and how much of a hit will this book take when grading? Thanks for your help!

Sweet!

Thanks @MrRoboto and AhsokaTano - I've attached a picture of the back cover. I've also updated the pictures to show the "10" spot wiped down. Does that change your grade any? Will C&P be able to help with the ink or overall grade. THanks!

Thanks again for all of the help grading some of my other comics. I came across several Detective Comics in the 400s range that have a "10" ink marking over the "Approved by the Comics Code Authority" emblem. What would a book like this (#411) grade at with this defect? Update: It looks like the marking can be mostly wiped with a microfiber towel. I don't want to mess with it too much, but will the rest of that ink come out during a C&P?

Considering if this book is worth C&P and grading or not. Thanks for your input.

Experts -- I am looking to C&P and submit this book. What are all of your thoughts? Thanks for your input!

Sorry. Yes the cardboard is warped. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks to everyone for advice on how to properly post a PGM request. I picked up a lot of Star Wars #1 and this one is a representative sample. I plan to C&P with @joeypost but I wanted to get the group's thoughts on before and after grades for these books. Below are pictures of one of them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Far out man, far f'n out. Thanks.

I picked up several copies of this book at an estate sale. Here are some of the online photos from the sale. I have not received these yet but I'm curious what the possible cleaned/pressed grades on these could possibly be. Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for all the feedback here. This is going in my PC, so investment consideration is limited.

That's what I was thinking. It's a good option for a small business that doesn't have the space or doesn't want to hold the liability of a large backlog of people's expensive books.

@Bleeck - This is what I am referring to on the impressivecomicbooks.com site regarding the submission for pressing comics. It does seem a little dicey (excel spreadsheet) as @revat mentioned. Does your $25 get thrown into a black hole? Have you submitted to CFP before?

Yes. At least one: https://impressivecomicbooks.com/

Been there. Done that. I haven't received a response yet so I'm posting here for more info

The CFP Comics & Services website indicates that they are currently processing comics from 10/2021, suggesting an approximate 9+ month backlog. Various posts on these forums highlight this company as providing good service so I'm willing to wait in line. For those of you who have used CFP, do you need to submit your comics immediately (and have them sit at CFP) or do you have the option to send them in as the expected processing date gets closer? Thanks

Thanks for the feedback and the welcome. This is a book I intend to keep - I put in into storage about 30 years ago and I have no intentions of selling it -- although it isn't in the best of conditions. My motivation for slabbing is to preserve what I have -- it's not an investment for me. My only requirement is that I don't want to spend more on grading than it's expected price after slabbing. I appreciate all of the good insights and feedback.

I noticed that a couple of my comics have small divot marks, about the size and shape of a pen point. Does a pressing remove these types of markings? I've attached one of my covers with 4-6 of these divots. The rest of the cover appears great except for these. Thanks for the feedback!

I'm trying to get a sense of whether my collection that I pulled out of storage (30+ years old) is worth grading. Here's a representative Spawn. What do you think this would grade as and would it even be worth submitting. Thanks for your feedback!

Noob to CGC grading. I have a collection of comics that I bagged/boarded 30+ years ago. Here's an example of Terminator #1 with some wear. I'm curious what type of grade this might get and if it would even be worth sending in. Thanks for your feedback!
