Where in the world was the Quality Control at CGC???
nines replied to Wally's Comics's topic in Comics General
Because it seems unfair to CGC to throw stones at them without acknowledging that there are issues with the rest of the industry as well. Must have been a while since you've seen a Wolverine 50. Damage is obvious. -
I might pay $3 for the fun of opening it and $2 for the actual books. $5 seems about right Big box stores have a lot of clever gimmicky 'hit' stuff. This comes to mind

Congratulations to all. Good luck with the new man cave Dan

saw this perusing an auction. must have been a tough day. not just the chunk missing from the cover, but a big tick 1/3 up the spine -
Is this cut/tear a grade crusher?
nines replied to nines's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
I only have a lousy camera phone to work with but yes there's about a 1" long cut and it's deep, through almost half the pages. If you look close at the last pic you can see the centerfolds arent sitting where theyre supposed to. When I get home I'm going to take another look and see if I can tuck the centerfolds back in there, and take a clearer pic with the bc open. TBH I love the book either way, and that's all that matters. Even if it's a 1.8 I doubt I'll find a copy that presents better without shelling good $$ -
Is this cut/tear a grade crusher?
nines replied to nines's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
I think a blade was involved (maybe its possible a hard pinch and bend could break those pages like that?) but I don't believe its been trimmed. I have an early Jumbo issue to compare measurements and they line right up. That, I would be very happy with. Thanks! -
Is this cut/tear a grade crusher?
nines replied to nines's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
Apologies, I didn't want to bore anyone with details. I'm fairly new at this and haven't seen too much =\ after inspecting it a bit more it just seems someone just caught the corner pretty hard with a razor/x-acto, and the cover tore some more (around the spine) after the matter. I thought initially it could be a brittle split and was hesitant to get in there, but it's nice and supple and tight. For a while I was specifically looking for FH issues with the Senorita Rio back cover promo. I think it is fantastic and I wanted to be able to show it without pulling it out of the bag. I was hoping it would be part of my first submission to CGC but if that corner really hammers the grade I guess I'll just put it in a heavy mylar -
It would have been nice to display that Senorita Rio promo in a slab but I don't have a clue how much that corner would affect the grade.

ASM 1 missing piece front cover
nines replied to Giovanni Molina's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
It's still a sweet book. Is the corner piece valuable in this situation, would it lean the grade if you had it? -
Well for the New Year I was going to focus on golden GGA. Dammit Gene Copy B with the flat bottom right corner pls Copy A looks a bit better centered, I'll take that one please. Nice deals. Thank you!

Appreciate the input fellas. seems my hypothesis was wrong. I was also under the assumption that pressing has been practiced for a lot longer than it has. Still makes sense to me though that over hydrating might lead to it holding moisture and problems down the line, given the conditions. but I don't know or won't attempt to research how long paper can hold moisture. That's why you leave it to the professionals👍

I hadn't thought about that. Maybe the inner sleeve compresses the book/pages enough to make the whites seem a bit transparent.
