I haven't heard of any such incidents lately, but surely CGC is not perfect... If so, was it difficult to get reimbursed? In general, how does insurance work - will CGC argue over the value if they think its too high or will they just reimburse you with what you declare, no questions asked? I'm curious as to books lost while in CGC's possession, but I'm sure books have also been lost due to shipping to and from them as well. thanks, brian

Thanks, never really thought about how an individual comic book gets assembled, but it is good to know - especially since there are other types of production defects (bindery, ink) that can occur. Makes you wonder what type of quality control the publishers used back in the 60's-70's...

good to know - is the crease by the sword-wielder's leg? Or by the tip of the demon's arrow?

Checking other copies of the same issue - brilliant idea!

I didn't even think about having a defect on the paper itself prior to applying the ink - thanks for the info. I don't see too many printer creases, so I thought I'd ask here. And on this book, in particular, the crease is easy to miss (for newbies like myself) due to the white color and busy background of the buildings. You can definitely feel it, though. thanks again!

That's good to know. Thanks for the info, much appreciated!

Hello, I just got this book and I need some help in confirming a crease on the FC right side, above the circle caption - is this a printers crease or something else? You can definitely feel it on the FC and the inside FC as well. How can you tell if its a printers crease and how do they affect the overall grade? Do they usually occur in this area or can they occur anywhere? thanks for your help, brian

Picked these up from the boards recently, with more to come

I'm good with either Sat or Sun night but my wallet won't be

Are you really going to scan and post all 16,000+ books? At the rate of 200 books a week, it'd take around 1.5 years to get through them all. I must say, this is some labor of love to scan, post and ship all of these books for your friend! One that I thoroughly enjoy, I might add. brian
