BriD. reacted to Robot Man in CGC graded Pulps - my first experience and results.
Well my first eagle has landed. My first submission to CGC. I dropped this off at WonderCon on 3/29 and got it today. Quicker than I expected. Came back a little better than I expected. I had it at 7.0 so I guess my grading skills aren’t too bad. This slab is THICK! I will have to add on to the comic room if I keep doing this. Now, I wait for my two “value” submissions…

BriD. got a reaction from ADAMANTIUM in C2E2 2024?
Took some pics. Very difficult to get good wall pics with the glare

Thanks for the photos from us poor schmoos who couldn’t make it. Love the Dan Parent sketch on the Panic 6. Here is one of mine.
A tip for wall shots. Maybe try a slight angle to eliminate glare. And instead of an entire wall, try to break it up in a couple shots. Usually works better for me.
Glad you had a great day!

BriD. got a reaction from Get Marwood & I in ASM 300 Spain Production Error discovered
I might guess that the black plate was made without the knockouts for the white text areas and webbing at the top so instead of the white paper showing, it's printed black in those areas. Why only there and not other areas? Who knows but a mistake like that can happen. I would think that would have been noticed pretty early and a new black plate would have been made. So if true, I would say a production error.
The tiny Os could be what some call a hickey. It's when a small hardened bit of ink gets on the plate or blanket and prevents the ink from fully covering that spot. So it creates a ring around it.
As far as the suggested marker used to fill in spots, I would think that would be easy to see from the inside of the cover. Obviously it would have to be cracked out to check.

If you use your Cole's cash and discount coupons, you too can have a wardrobe like that pretty cheaply.

BriD. got a reaction from The Lions Den in Recent CGC PULP purchases.
Thanks for the info, I was thinking that it could be an issue storing them raw. But clearly you have some control over the problem in your own collection. But do you feel it's ok that it's being slabbed this way? There is no space at the top of the inner well so this seems to be the only way the book fits in there. If this was a comic slabbed like this it would probably be posted in the "where in the world was the quality control" thread.
Edit:
I does occur to me that the inner holder may be designed with rounded edges specifically to keep the overhang from being crunched or sharply folded/creased, but I don't know.
