    Stress lines a few years after grading

    in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues

    Posted

    Hi everyone, I have a sketch cover that was slabbed back in 2018 that received a 9.8. I've kept the book vertically on a book shelf since then. When I first received it, the book looked clean as it should for a 9.8. I've taken the slab to have a look last week and found some dark lines around where the staples are. Has anyone seen these before or have these happen to their books? Is this a matter of staple stress getting worse over time? Any insight will be appreciated. Thanks!
