    Yes and yes.

    If you want to completely halt the rust process place the book in a glove box pump out to a good vacuum level (10-5) backfill with an inert gas (nitrogen,argon, etc) repeat a few times. That should do it.

    FYI, you can usually buy the books they have on eBay cheaper on their own website. Don't know how they get away with it. That's only for bin books not auction.

    If you're not planning on selling the book then you can make sure your book doesn't get affected by this problem by not slabbing it.

    A 9.8 with white pages just went for 21k at auction on comicconnect last week.
  6. Terrapin
    Maybe 3.5 if there are no issues with the interior or staples.
  7. Terrapin
    There are a number of cb creases on the fc especially the right edge. Haven't seen the back cover. The fc creases were there in your first post pre pressing.
  8. Terrapin
    3.5 due to stains
  9. Terrapin
    3.5 and the bottom staple looks strange. Is that the original staple?
  10. Terrapin
    I wouldn't pay 9.4 money for it. I doubt the major defects came after slabbing, but it doesn't really matter.

    +1
  12. Terrapin
    4.0 although that is a lot of chipping.
  13. Terrapin
    Ask for pics of the inside fc and bc to see if there is color bleed through the cover.
  14. Terrapin
    Also looks like a tear bc mid spine.
  15. Terrapin
    And the bc creased crumpled corner and possible tear bottom bc(?).
  16. Terrapin
    5.5/6.0 all the small defects add up.
  17. Terrapin
    5.5 because of the large cb crease on the fc, but CGC will probably give it a 6.0/6.5.
  18. Terrapin
    Can't say anything without seeing all corners and edges. Is this a TPB that is actually of some value? Sorry, not so informed on the TPB market.
  19. Terrapin
    You really need to make sure all the corners and edges are clearly visible in your images. You are cropping these very closely and sometimes cutting off a corner.
  20. Terrapin
    5.5 There's a nearly 2 inch cb crease on the fc among other things.
  21. Terrapin
    3.5/4.0
  22. Terrapin
    7.5
  23. Terrapin
    What grading scale are you referring to?
  24. Terrapin
    Need back cover to really give a grade. Front cover shows 9/9.2 with the corners assuming the back cover has no additional defects.
  25. Terrapin
    curious what the date penned on the cover does to the grade.
