ThothAmon Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Were you afraid that might happen when you sent it to be pressed? think you'll get a 3.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If I was worried about it, I would have sent it straight to CGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeypost Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Send it to me, and I will see what I can fix. Is the missing piece gone? See if it is still floating around somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The piece is gone. The guy that pressed it didn't even see the chip come off ? If so, he should have saved it for you. I suspect it did not happen during the press but in handling, in or out of the bag and board. Your comic had so many spots that could snag. It should have been in an oversized bag and Board, maybe even a Magazine size to make access easier. I'm curious what Joey thinks can be done at this point ? Saliva ?

joeypost Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 There are still pressable defects on the back cover. Add to that the fact the book was overhydrated with resulting warping a second press will make the book present a lot better. Additionally, I see where some of the marvel chipping was folded over and pressed over into the wrong side of the cover. That can also be fixed.

Maybe that's what happened to the big chip. This was really a terrible piece of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he did see the piece after it flaked. The piece came off in the press, that I know. It's gone now, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I went and looked at the first pictures before I saw the CGG grade. I thought it started as a textbook 4.0, then took a hit, then was resuscitated. Good result overall, even if it was a roller coaster ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
