PGM Incredible Hulk 141 & efficacy of pressing
joeypost replied to scburdet's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
A proper pressing will remove those deep bends completely. -
The alignment of the book can be improved, but not eliminated. It looks like an issue when the book was manufactured. Post a picture of the other book you mentioned.

If it’s signed with a sharpie, best to leave it alone. -

PGM ASM 361- grade is in.
joeypost replied to WolverineX's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
CGC has been sending back many slabs that leaves one scratching their head. I did a small experiment with a few books I got back that I wasn't happy with. Cracked them out to get signed. Almost every book got a .2 bump, with a few going from 9.4 to 9.8 with no additional work done to them. -
Where in the world was the Quality Control at CGC???
joeypost replied to Wally's Comics's topic in Comics General
Most companies will try to make sure their process work as flawlessly as possible. Six sigma works across many industries and platforms. In CGC’s case it may not have to be applied across the board but in the most strategic of mechanical processes, like encapsulation, storage and shipping. -

PGM Harbinger #1 (With Coupon)
joeypost replied to StudebakerHawk's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Check the spine by the middle staple. Some copies have a small split in that area. If not you are in the 9.0+ range. -
Corner crunch/ding how does it effect the grade
joeypost replied to grigoriane's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
7.0 to 8.5 depending how much of the crunch comes out -
I have to consider myself fortunate that I rarely have an issue with the slabs. Granted, I pick up the books but I can’t remember the last time any of my personal books had newton rings or bad scratches on the case.

Looking for comic restoration companies
joeypost replied to cigars&comix's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
Kenny is the guy, and only guy I would use. -
It makes sense that peroxide would remove certain defects like dust shadows and tanning. But and this is the important part, since it is a bleaching agent it will affect the hydrogen bonds holding the paper together. The same with the blue light. It is using certain frequencies that will lighten the defects mentioned earlier. Again, we all know the affect even ambient light will have on fading the true colors of the inks used in the printing process. Short term improvements may not outweigh long term damage. Not sure if any long-term studies have been performed on these techniques on paper, but living in Florida I understand fully the affects UV light would have on anything not color fast.
