Hello, I recently received my first book like this as well.  The book in question was purchased off of eBay (very high 100% positive feedback Seller) but I was still concerned.  Glad I found this thread to explain it.  I have also sent in many of my own books and none of them have this loose inner well.  I personally don't like the inner well sliding around... makes it feel cheap.

Also appreciate the explanation of Newton Rings, I have a few of those as well and this is the first time I saw it explained... makes sense.

Yeah, I just received some comics back yesterday. I live in Canada so the shipping is handled quite a bit before it reaches me. All 3 comics were loose and my 9.6 looked like the inside was pulling out of the cover. Sadly the book looked a lot better in the holder when it was an 8.0 before pressing. Now it definitely looks cheap, and possibly damaged. It doesn't look like much of a 9.6 Is there anything to be done about the situation? Or do we just live with the sad result that we paid good money for?

Concerned.

Do we know why Todd would sign some books with "Todd McFarlane and others with T. McFarlane?

His whims?

Finally got my grades!!  Books were just shipped so I don't have pics yet but got my grades.  All were pressed and all grades stayed exactly what they were when I sent them in...kind of a bummer there but at least they didn't drop

ASM300 9.4 White pages.....   Spawn 300 NYCC Gold foil edition 9.6 White pages......   Venom Lethal Protector 1 Black cover printing error 9.6 White pages

Was hoping for at least a bump somewhere (especially that Venom) but still happy.  Can't wait to see the actual books to see the sigs

 

Nice books. Sharp grades. Jealous of the lethal protector!

Fun fact: Joe Rosen, the letterer of that issue, lettered that book when he was 71 years old.

I never knew how old he was when he worked on the comic. Wish I could have had his signature too but I guess Todd's will have to make up for the missing sign. Cool bit of comic lore. Thanks for the info!

Mine just finished grading, HOLY COW!!

I submitted ASM 300 9.4 blue label and Hulk 340 9.0 Blu label, had them press and this is what they got!

 

I submited asm 361 8.0 and got it back as a 9.6 after pressing. I'm stoked! It's signed by everyone who worked on the comic (except for the letterer who is no longer alive) plus todd who helped create venom. It survived 8 pairs of grubby hands from comic creators and still got a 9.6 lol. Not to mention my own mitts.

Same here. Still waiting for movement! Looks like todd finished signing though! Good news for all of us.⁹

I hope he's still going to sign comics. I haven't been one of the lucky ones to have their submission status updated! Fingers crossed!
