Is this a classic case of SCS?

looks like SCS has done that to your comic. you need to be careful of how you store your CGC's
I didn't do it! and the more I look at it the more it looks like it's not SCS. I think the affected area is too wide to be caused from moving in the slab that little distance. (shrug)

You're welcome, but my opinion doesn't mean anything. Call CGC and see if there are any graders notes. Plus, does the book have any other defects than the bump on th ULC.

 

If anything, I would lean toward the pedigree bump more than SCS.

Aww c'mon Doc, you opinion means something, to somebody, somewhere! :foryou:

 

But I agree with you,it does not look like SCS as there does not appear to be any overhang on the top edge and the break in color is at an angle. More then likely it's a production related issue.

 

Turok, in hand does the paper appear bent or mangled? Or is it more just a scuffing/smudgeing of the inks?

It looks like there was damage there to begin with, and it's been exacerbated by some SCS.

 

Kind of like you already have a dent in your car, then some doofus in the parking lot dings it in the same place.

Just called for the grader notes...

 

Wear top of spine

Abrasion top of front and back covers

Lite corner crease top bc

 

Sounds like there was wear there when the book was submitted.....who knows how much though.

Hey, I don't know where you're getting your information but I have never exacerbated. (tsk)

So, does a seeing eye dog type your posts?

Does this #7 issue of Phantom Stranger look like it is suffering from SCS or do you think it was this way before grading? Look at top left.

 

looks to me like a vf/nm, but its graded already, and the grading process is subjective to each person.
