Reversion is when a comic goes back to its pre-pressed state. When you look at the back cover especially it looks like alot of the bends, creases, and waviness cake back. After seeing the press pics I thought it would get a 5.0.

Very interesting. Never knew about that. Is this just the nature of the book essentially then...if it wants to be creased, one way or another it gets to be creased!

Thanks folks. Here are the grader notes below. Anything surprising here? Having lurked on the boards for a while, I know theres no use in feeling bad about these types of things, particularly when I am just happy to get the book I love. Is this a candidate in the future for resubmission? Or should I just let it lie? 

crease right top of front cover
fade front cover
marvel chipping full right of front cover
spine stress lines breaks color
tanning cover

Also, can you explain what that means? N

It looks like your book was a victim of the dreaded reversion!

Okay, how much for the bag it was stored in?

wow you guys are bringing up my expectations...I went into this thinking a 4.5 was the best I could get. Fingers crossed some of you are right! 

Back from being pressed. On its way to CGC. Updated pictures here:

Welcome Jake! Those pipe dreams will become reality soon enough - just a matter of time!

Hi all, been reading some previous threads on here regarding this topic.

Situation is this - looking at purchasing a key from Australia. I have the option to either ship to the US-California or the UK (preferably the UK). The shipping will have insurance up to the purchase amount, but I am slightly confused on how this effects the declared value. Given this is what the package will have a customs tax (or 20% VAT) applied to it. Is it usually one to one? So if you insure for $10k then expect to pay $2k in VAT?

In my reading it seems this is an unavoidable cost of doing business internationally but if anyone has any workarounds would love to hear it.

I started collecting comics when one of my parents passed away, so just goes to show how cathartic comics can be in all walks of life. I am sorry for your loss.

I hope they don't determine the extra staples as a manufacturing defect, and what are the condition of the staples

Presser mentioned that these extra staples were at manufacturing and should still gain a blue label.  - no notes on their condition unfortunately.

Is it my imagination, or is there some type of stain in the lower left-hand corner of the front cover? 4.5 - 5.0

Don't think you are imagining things - seems to be a stain there unfortunately. 

Thanks for all the inputs so far - I probably have a few weeks (depending on how backed up CGC is right now) until the grade comes back but I'll be sure to post the final grade. In the meantime I welcome any more predictions!

First time ever getting something graded so finally I can post in here - been  on the side for a while in these threads! I haven't seen this in hand - its on the way to get pressed and graded directly, so these are the only two pictures I have unfortunately. The additional notes I have is that it was manufactured with 2 extra staples and there are some small tears to the back cover.

Thanks all!

Hey all - I mostly buy outside of the boards but have enjoyed interacting with a lot of boardies since I have joined.

Setting this up so the few purchases/sales I do make are recorded and feedback gathered.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts

Fantastic buyer - couldn't have gone smoother. But more importantly - an overall great guy willing to lend his advice and support when asked. Wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again on either side of the transaction!
