  1. Those aren't cracks. They're sides of the tabs used to assist the comic in not moving around inside the case.
  2. If Worlds of DC is giving its directors creative freedom... #ReleaseTheSnyderCut
  3. Me too. Calvin & Hobbs and Garfield were my frickin' jam as a kid.
  4. Educated guess: He's talking explicitly about Worlds of DC (which started with Man of Steel in 2013).
  5. You're putting a massive task in front of yourself if you're trying to enter the dealer/"flipper" game right now. There are so many decorated, 'all-knowing' guys out there in the business already, who basically consume and churn all of that business. I wish you good luck, but must advise that it's a bad idea if you don't know all of the ins-and-outs prior to putting your foot in the ring.
  6. Do not "only buy graded". Please, just don't. Small flaws shouldn't dissuade anyone from buying anything. Or large flaws, for that matter. Are you only looking to re-sell? If so, then you need to learn grading, and how to get deals etc. If you're looking for personal collection, then do small flaws like these really bother you? If you're buying from an "amateur", then yes, it's almost certain that you will find small flaws that were not disclosed. Even more-so if you're buying "collections" and not single books or small lots. It's just the nature of the beast. If you buy collections, and want to submit them for grading and make sure you get the best results, then pressing prior to grading is always your best bet on comics with press-able flaws like this.
