Overhang Crease From Inner Well
finalfan7asy replied to finalfan7asy's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
I was thinking about getting the bend pressed. Do you have any recommendations for pressers experienced with correcting this issue? -
Overhang Crease From Inner Well

You can see the bend along the bottom of the book in person. The bends do not exist at the corners where there is more space. -
CGC Slab Small Triangular Markings
finalfan7asy replied to finalfan7asy's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
I was unsure if these triangular looking markings were common and caused by any of CGC’s equipment during encapsulation. I’m probably better off keeping the book in its current slab. It has frail edges and I would hate to lose any pieces if they had to replace the inner well too. If they’re debris, they seem to be outside the well and don’t move. I appreciate all the help! -
CGC Slab Small Triangular Markings

Thank you for the information. I was unaware that they were having quality concerns with debris in their slabs. -
CGC Slab Small Triangular Markings
finalfan7asy replied to finalfan7asy's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
The book was slabbed about 2 months ago. Some of the triangles are more prominent than others. They almost look like blemishes in the plastic since they’re all similar in shape and the way light reflects off of them. I’m not able to get any of them to move either. -
Has anyone noticed small triangular-shaped markings inside their CGC slabs? At first, I thought they were plastic flakes trapped inside, but there are at least a dozen, some of which are clustered together. My inner well is slightly loose and the markings do not move along with it. I'm assuming they're on the inner part of the slab itself. Some are more obvious than others due to their location. Any thoughts?

I’ve come across several X-Men Annual #1s that appear to have similar ink transfer or smudging markings on the back cover. Is this common with some runs? Does it appear to be from the printing process or color transfer from books sticking together?

Looking for Trade Offer Advice. :)
finalfan7asy replied to JoshTG's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
If it makes any difference to you there are thousands of Universal graded (higher grade too) X-Men #266 out there. Your Strange Adventure #205 not so much. -

finalfan7asy replied to JoshTG's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
According to gocollect’s website, FMV for X-Men #266 (CGC 9.4) is $160 and Silver Surfer #3 (CGC 2.5) is $110. Your Strange Adventures #205 is “valued” at $210. However, if you’re solely after Gambit’s first full appearance, you should be able to find a CGC 9.6 for under $200. Go with what you would value the most. -
Thanks!

Has anyone had their books pressed by CCS without grading them? If so, did they send them back in the same bags and boards you sent them in?

Does anyone know what E. Gerber Mylites2 bag fits a CGC graded Marvel Graphic Novel?

Green Lantern #76 at Half Price Books
finalfan7asy replied to finalfan7asy's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
The ASM #129 looked to be a GD- at best. -
I noticed a copy of Green Lantern #76 displayed in one of their cases. The asking price is $3,000! They also have a copy of ASM #129 but it has water damage. They want $400 for it. Has anyone else found key issues like these before at Half Price Books? The many years I've been going there, this is a first.
