How do these products last over time? Do they discolor plastic with age?

I've used it on headlight lenses, haven't noticed any problems

As far as I recall, it also has UV protection, since thats what causes a lot of problems for headlight lenses

Meguiar's also makes a scratch remover that will take them out, with some elbow grease.

Best stuff for auto paint wax

And Mothers

Makes those paint jobs pop

It was more fun when I thought that was a QA screw up of epic proportions

I don't understand the world anymore

ok I'll play nice but 

 

@Poutine You're not supposed to post competitors slabs  just an fyi  unless you crop out the label, or something like that  

Oh ok, I didn't realize

I have maybe 5 CBCS slabs in my collection, I don't even notice 

I have multiple copies of the whole run and they are all green, except for that one. Its fugly

Not sure the condition on that one, either. Probably sun damaged

I don't think those are the blue hologram books - but they are out there for all those titles. What I surmised happened is that when they were printing the holograms (of which I don't have any knowledge of that process) - they had a bunch of all-blue ones that didn't shift color like the normal ones. My guess is that all the different holograms were printed "ganged up" on one sheet, then trimmed out for each individual book - which is why you have all-blue holograms for each title with different characters. The reason for the all-blue hologram paper stock eludes me, but my guess is whatever process they use to create the holographic paper required some tweaking, and the all-blue stock was used as "make ready" as they were adjusting their printer.

When they passed off all the holograms, the all-blue ones were the ones they used to test the setup at the beginning: gluing and placement on the final print run - when they got the bindery equipment dialed in, they switched to the holograms that shifted color correctly, and the rest of the all-blue ones that were inferior got thrown out.

They aren't blue. The top one is brown.

Suppose a seller would call it "gold"

This has to be the next movie teamup of the decade right here

*It was funny*

Am I rich?

Was wondering 🤔 

Since you can get scans of books before they're shipped, why not post them all here and the forum can be QA

Is it ok to ship a comic book in a polybag and ask CGC to press the book after removing it from the bag?

A lot of people do this

Always wondered if he's sitting over a black hole.....

No, not "light wear", it's "lite wear". 

Odds are the person who wrote that note is mid/late 20s, and is new to grading. 

 

Or just stupid

SPAWN 147 - CGC 9.8 

Interesting "frame" cover. The border really gives it a fresh, clean look. 

Getting very close to the "Philip Tan" era - one of the best stretches of the run IMHO. 

 

I'm not a fan of borders myself, but this piece of OA I would gladly frame and hang on the wall

Missing PQ on the label.

SPAWN 145 - CGC 9.8 SIGNATURE SERIES SIGNED BY GREG CAPULLO 

I can't believe it's been almost 10 years since I had this signed. Love the crazy clown violence and the hat/t-shirt as well! This ain't no kiddie comic! 

Should have kept this one, too! 

Clearly a Capullo piece, but Danny Miki's fingerprints are all over this one. Just look for the fine detail. 

 

Love this

Libel!

While it's normal and acceptable for an internet chat forum to drift off into tangents, it would be wonderful if we could keep this particular, important thread on subject.

You'll never have this when people feel its their god given right to push themselves into any conversation, whether it pertains to them or not
