BriD. reacted to jimjum12 in ENOCH BOLLES ....and other fine Pin-Up art
This one is on it's way back from CGC, where it was graced with a blue CGC 9.0. It's a beauty. My Nugget 1 got CGC 6.5, and my PLAYBOY 2/55 with the Bettie Page centerfold got a CGC 9.4. They were not easy on them, but certainly fair. GOD BLESS ...

I had been reading other pulp threads and I did see that video today about the inner well. At least I understand it now

BriD. reacted to Darwination in Recent CGC PULP purchases.
Yeah, I'd say it's not the optimal presentation. I run into this with just bags and boards sometimes where the pulp sinks down to the bottom of the bag and you can tell that everything is sitting on the overhang. Granted, I'm not worried about it most of the time with my beater pulps, but there are times where I'll make sure I've got the right pressure on the book so that it's kind of suspended up on the board a little bit and not sitting on any delicate bits at the bottom (and I'm sure I'm not the only one that does that with comics as well). Presentation aside, I guess the concern is whether the overhang is getting stressed here. I can see how there might be some give and take between stressing the books edges and making sure it doesn't shift around. Pulps sizes can vary (I think I saw something about four different holders?) so maybe picking the right size holder during encapsulation is important. Totally out of my element here, though, have no idea how much of the process is mechanical, what choices are available, etc. I do know I've run into this with Weird Tales in particular where the author names are right at the very bottom and want to bend over on the overhang (in bags and boards, suspended in a mylar not a problem but it also depends on how long the overhangs been bent under and a tight fit in the mylar can still stress the overhang). Sometimes if I get one in that's been kept like that I'll put a board between the pulp and the cover for a while and maybe with a board and a little weight on top to sort of flatten it out for a while, seems to help. It can get flakey, though, some of these pulps have been resting on that overhang for a long, long time

BriD. got a reaction from jimjum12 in When will CGC pulp grading start?
I asked a question about slabbing overhang in a different thread. I'm not sure where it would be best to ask but I see there was some concern about it in this thread so maybe someone here might weigh in. Link below
