Umm..oops!

I'm sure there are a great many books out there that would not receive the same grade as they currently hold. The SCS is just too common an occurance.

 

I agree I ntoiced one of Greggy's DC 100 pagers in 9.6 appeared to have some slab damage.

Yeah, that's what I was referring to mostly.

Welll...the only way you could see them is if I was selling them so

 

I don't know the bottom right corner/edge doesn't look too happy.

You're assuming that it got damaged in the slab!

[burntboy]

how does something like that happen?

 

That's the old style CGC case, back before they came up with the inner well--the type that's a lot like a really loose Mylar. They used that back in 2000. The "sonic sealing" they use around the edges isn't a permanent, tight seal and can be penetrated with not a great deal of force.

 

The book isn't necessarily damaged.

 

FF; does that upper edge look impossibly perfect??? it also seems like an unusual miscut for a DC with that comics code seal barely fully fitting onto the cover?!?! (and i know you can't tell from a scan, but it just jumped out at me).

Not necessarily; overhang doesn't exist on every Silver Age book. I'm not sure what you mean about the comics code symbol...DC Silver code symbols are a little bigger than Marvel's and are often much closer to the top and right edges.

Well, we know it graded 9.6 ... and I don't believe CGC would give it a 9.6 today - do you? It's your choice: CGC can't grade worth a lick, or this book was damaged by the slab after encapsulation...
