  1. Starting off the collection with some vintage Wonder Woman adult magazines. Hard to find raw copies online. Elite #v4 #11 Playpen Enterprises Ltd, 11/78 Lynda (Wonder Woman) Carter Nude! (CGC 7.0) High Society #v4 #3 High Society Magazine Inc, 8/79 Lynda "Wonder Woman" Carter Nude (CGC 6.5)
  2. Noticed a good portion of my comics from this era seem to be cropped. Cropped in a sense that the entire book was probably printed on the pages a lot higher up than usual. This isn't very noticeable with the contents in the book except for the bottom margin being larger but cover images look deranged as some of the top cover text is cut off. No portion of the cover is missing a portion of the image as I know that prior to printing artists have a much larger cover art that inevitably gets trimmed down. Would submitting comics with these manufacturing defects affect grade? Does this qualify as a physical defect?
  3. Hello everyone, I apologize if this becomes a redundancy post in advance but was needing some insight on how to store CGC slabs for long term preservation. I'm familiar with the to do's: no exposure to light, cool temperatures with appropriate relative humidity. And the not to do's: vacuum seal the slabs. As a 21 year old, that has moved out to college, my slabs are currently in the basement* stairs of my childhood home. I wish to preserve my comics so that they stand the test of time as I have several first appearance issues of the older comics**. I am not equipped with a well disposable income*** to encase my slabs in a UV filtered, glass enclosure with constant flowing filtered argon. The only thing I can think of at the moment is to introduce a dehumidifier but while away at home, my mother would not appreciate the responsibility of tending to maintenance of the dehumidifier. In the near future I would like to be able display my slabs in the basement (out of complete darkness from underneath the stairs). Any cheap suggestions or tips to minimize any micromanaging the environment as much as possible to put 4 slabs on display? *My mother is anemic so she keeps the house temperature fairly high, Nothing below 75 F (23 C). The basement is significantly colder however and averages around 67. Winters are not a problem as cranked up temperatures are offset by the leakage in the basement windows. **Collected as hand me downs or bargained auctions with high-school income. ***I know, some of you may argue that I shouldn't even be collecting at this age.
