I know that unwitnessed signed comics will end up getting a Q green label. However, Green labels are typically meant for books with a major defect such as a coupon cut out, page missing, married covers ect... I think what would be a better idea is to put those unwitnessed signed books into blue labels with a notation of "Unwitnessed signature on Cover" on the label instead. It's just a unwitnessed signature and shouldn't be considered a major defect if that were true, then we would have green & yellow labels.

As I'm reading through the grading guide and their defects, Let me clarify a few things since Matt Nelson isn't an expert in printing defects. Blade pulls Page 138 Blades don't pull the paper through the press, Nip rollers do. (Little wheels with rubber on them) The nip rollers are also too tight causing the wrinkle in the paper Ink Distortion Page 169 No such thing as "ink bubbles" . This type of defect is only caused by the oven temperature running too high on the press that dries the paper causing blisters in the paper, especially on coated paper. Ink Lift Page 170 For the last time... Ink rollers do NOT touch the paper. They only touch the printing plate, which then touches the blanket cylinder, which touches the paper (think rubber stamps) Same idea So these "Ink lifts" are from a dirty blanket where the paper dust builds up on the blanket like feels like brail. The blanket (giant sheet of rubber) needs to be washed. Ink Missing Page 171 Pictures shown Batman 232 looks like a printing plate was washed while the press was still running 2nd picture shows what a cracked printing plate looks like Picture 3 (back cover) Looks like a roller to the plate is chewed up in the red Ink Smear Page 173 Dirty blanket in the black unit Register Page 190 Misaligned printing plates 95% of the time, unless there is tension problems or the cylinders are out of time from the plate to the blanket (The plate and blanket gaps need to be in time with each other) Printer Crease Page 194 Either tension problems in the infeed before the units causing a wrinkle or it's a crease from the crusher being too tight Siamese Pages Page 204 Book not being trimmed to correct size Staple Recessed Page 223 I blame CCS for too much pressure Vein Page 239 100% a bad roll of paper, has nothing to do with the printing press

Look at the back cover under a light, also check all the corners....See any white at all?? Can't get a 9.9/10 if there is any white showing -

The Killing Joke book is prone to scratches, keeping many of them out of the 9.9/10 grade -
You've been lied to if you think it takes 12-24 hours to press a book.

Well of course they have to make a female version of everything

Buy cat food stocks

CIB retro games are $100 each

You really wanna get an AF 15 in 9.4 or better, everything else is far too common to bother with

Sent in a Standard submission and wrote ST all over the box which was received by CGC on 10/3, My express package was opened immediately. Just wondering how long the Standards are taking to open since the Hurricane

Is this allowed in a 9.8?
Kevin76 replied to IllusionEntity's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
Prefer 9.6? -
I believe the point is that you don't have to wait 237 days to get your books back, ya think?

Exactly. Proofs, Go-Bys, "File Copies" "Samples" are all examples of what the customer wants the finished product to look like. Basically, "Make the printed run look like this" When a printing plate needs to be changed, if the plate that's put on the press, isn't lined up correctly, the printed image is way out to lunch and the plate can be moved while the press is running, those copies should be thrown out until the register is on, but they do get skidded and out the door sometimes. Same with missing ink.

I got 20 CIB NES games I got to send in, was gonna go with WATA but they aren't taking submissions for turbo, so I'll try CGC and just sell them off when I get them back.

Same thing was said about comics when that was introduced

Cause something is wrong with those women and they end up divorced/single with a bunch of cats

No they don't, Men can have sex with not feeling anything for the person, Women can't, they need an emotion connection. At least the normal women anyway. Do you have a daughter? A sister? Both? Would you encourage her to sleep around? Men don't want a (garden tool) to be the mother of his children.

cause the show is written by feminists

So it's not her fault for the choices she makes? WTF??
