Sqeggs Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 2 hours ago, Mr. Lady Luck said: I would think (hope) that the scratches are not on the inside of the inner well - and thus never come in contact with the comic itself, but I don't know for sure. Regardless, I'm as concerned about scratches as I am about Newton Rings. Sqeegs, were there scratches on your recent reholders? I think that there are a few now that I've looked for them. Check the area above Sweethearts in this scan. Seem to be a number of them. I wish they weren't there, but I'm not particularly distracted by them (or I wasn't until I realized they were there!), so I don't consider this a big issue. My guess is that they are on the inside of the slab, so I don't think they pose a hazard to the book. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttock Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 So are they sanding the inner surface to reduce contact for Newton rings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Well, I just discovered something odd. If you pop over to the romance thread you can see a book that seems largely NR-free in hand and when photographed but that appears in a scan to have significant NRs. Don't know what to make of it .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem is that sometimes the "rings" which are not really "rings" look like dirt when you are not looking with a decent light source.

The same thought occurred to me Honestly, I'm not too worried about the scratches. It would certainly be better if they weren't there, but they don't seem to detract much from the appearance of the slabbed book. But, then, I've not been particularly bothered buying slabs that have surface scuffs from rattling around in dealers' boxes. Kind of OT, but I recently bought a book that had both a CLink label and a dealer's label on the back of the slab. First time I've encountered two labels on the same book. I used to carefully peel off the CLink labels -- needed a PDI pad to manage it. Lately, though, I just leave them on. I know that @Cat-Man_America will consider this another indication of my low standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat-Man_America Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 According to the Julian Calendar Isaac Newton was born Dec. 25th, 1642! This seems like the appropriate thread to celebrate with Wagner's Ring Cycle playing in the background.. Special dispensation goes to Greggy who had his own Gregorian calendar that reclassified Isaac's BD as January 4th, but traditionalists see that as a defraction. We've seen the light, and yes Virginia, there are rainbows. Season's Best to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
