After analysis of the DNA and evidence of both hair in one, and grass in another. Our current suspect is...

Extracting the specimen now...

So this is a musical we're watching?

After posting on another topic it made me reminiscent of my father's comics which after his passing I just had to track down. I know they are not high dollar books , however they do hold value to me. So I have decided to post them here and welcome comments or other to so the same. It was one of the reasons I ended up following in his steps and become a "Collector" also known as a Horder depending on who you ask..

Looking back realized this is in GA... Oops.. ok for The Golden would be getting some of my father's comics back after his passing.(will have to start a separate post for them all) I know that they were not high dollar books, however his own original books held a lot of value for me and those who I paid to obtain them.

For me this one is bitter sweet. The one that stands out most to me I let go and have been hoping to track another down. It was a printers proof ( only 50 )

Awwww... Completely missed that opportunity, that's ok. Now that it's in my head we can sing it in a duet.. " hoagies and grinders "

Thank you . I will reach out. Not holding a grudge. Was kind of surprised. It was the first I had seen. And interesting enough this book had a lot of Newton Rings except where that hair is, but now that you brought it up. The new look in the grading room.

I am starting this topic as today I received a CGC graded comic and the first thing I noticed was the Newton Rings, however upon closer inspection there was a line that had none. That's when I noticed a long dyed or bleached hair inside the inner well against the cover of the book. Now this isn't any high grade (it's 9.4) or super valuable book , and like most I laugh. Although if the hair was freshly bleached or dyed it could actually equate to a real problem for a high dollar book as it could bleach out a line on the cover or leech dye and if regraded could come back as a color touch. Ok back on topic it has me wondering what is the weirdest thing that has ever made it's way into a CGC case? Like the doc who forgot to remove the gauze during a surgery. I am curious what's in the case? Anyone ? Show us your , " what's that doing in there?"

I know it will factor, but I have gone over it and it is not a mark. It is definitely a hair. When the book moves in the inner well the hair moves independent of the book and well.

Neat find. I always enjoy seeing oddball errors. Thank you for sharing!

I hope we are all laughing at this amateur CSI .. The CGC edition : case of the lone hair. Breaker of Newton Rings. I know I am especially with this as it's not the best book to begin with , however It will not be as funny when someone really did just bleach their hair and it ends up next to your high grade high value book and bleaches out the color..

If that is all of them. By coloring and length , maybe 3. far right stripes , front second from right in the wind breaker , and fourth from right in all black.

Although my luck it was freshly bleached and will start to leech into the cover.

So we are looking for someone in QC that is a " natural blonde"

True. Almost looks as though it was bleached out.

Depending on who's it is it might go for a premium.. plus they said they don't encapsulate other items with the books.. better list this one as a one of a kind error..

Maybe we are just splitting hairs here , but your right it definitely was my future.. I just didn't know it..

Funny. We used to raise Greyhounds. (Long ago) Now that Florida has eliminated Greyhound racing we have to do something will all of them. Why not send them to CGC as that hair is the only place on the cover without the Newton ring effect. So as absurd as that sounded you may be on to something.. maybe that's what they meant by they fixed the issue!

Purchased this one this week. I t showed up with a ton of this effect as well as a hair inside (a long hair) the inner well. The whole cover has the Newton ring effect with the exception of where the hair runs across the book. Would CGC do anything about this?
