Can you submit slabs for a signing without cracking the slab? I know typically to make a window on raw book signings but wasn’t sure if you can submit a slab and have them crack it to help preserve the grade etc. 

Anyone? Lol

Does CGC grade Metal covers? Anything I should be careful of? Never had a metal cover until now. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I recently got a book graded that was only 1 of 100 copies produced. I just saw the graded notes etc and there isn’t a notation for this.  Is that common?  Should I contact them before they ship it back to me?

8.5-9 IMHO

Let me just say this was the most pathetic display of amateur comic book grading I’ve ever seen!

I think I may have gotten a bit of a gift grade.

Welp, I wouldn't have guessed that Lol

1.8-2.0 IMHO

I'm at a 6.0  Damn crease ruins another nice book!

I would say 5.5-6

I would put this at 3-3.5 personally.

When I ship comics I always put all the comics - even if it’s just one comic - in a second bag so the tape is making contact with the second bag, not the bags the comics are in. Plus, it’s the second bag that’s keeping all the comics together, not tension from the tape. The tape just keeps the bundle secured to the protective cardboard. 

Glad to hear sonmeone else does this!

I use these guys for comic supplies. Their pricing is competitive, especially if you buy in bulk, and they ship fast:

... I see they both have slab bags for sale, but not mylar. Not sure why you would need mylar for a slab but you do you.

 

The mylar doesnt crinkle etc and makes viewing the book that much easier in my collection.  Poly bag get creased etc,

STARTING WITH THE TOD #56  CGC 9.8 WHITE PAGES..  $100  (TIED FOR HIGHEST GRADE)  

 

Is this still availabe?

Just wanted peoples input on the best places to buy bags for my slabs.  I prefer mylar but am not locked into it.  Best Value for high quantities.  I have a lot of slabs I'm looking to re-bag. Just curious as to who everyone uses.

Well that's just messed up

Seems like a solid grade to me.  I wouldn't waste the money to press it

Look really really close. Todd has been known to sign in black ink on black parts of the cover.

I bought a nice sharp copy of Alarming Tales #3.  The seller said it was complete etc.  When I went to take it out to inspect it the cover was off.  At first, I was obviously ticked off but upon further inspection I noticed that I couldn't find staples at all and there are no staple holes in the covers at all. I even went as far as placing the cover on a projector to verify there were no holes. I  have a few questions:

1) Has anyone ever seen this?  Been collecting for quite some time and I have never seen this.

2) How does this affect the grade of the book if I were to have it graded? Can or should restoration be done?

3) Western Tales published this. Are they known to have done some books without staples?

I will post more detailed pics when I get home from work
