migmtl76 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hey all. I was looking at what books to submit to cgc and came across Hulk 377. Looks great except for this crease (see pics). In your opinion if I get it pressed will it come out or not ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faster friends Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I don’t think so. Looks like damage to the paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like a corner impact that was pressed out and likely is reverting, otherwise not a very pretty 9.8. Not the same flaw as the Hulk 377.

Not the same flaw as the Hulk 377. It’s actually not a corner impact, there is no way to fold a cover like that. Tried on a junk comic and could not fold it without the whole cover folding. This is why it gets a Near Mint/Mint grade, it’s not perfect with production flaws. If production flaws were not overlooked, I doubt we would have any 9.8s.

If that’s the case, drop all ASM 300’s in 9.8 with the jagged right side cut down to a 9.6 Edited January 11, 2021 by BigLeagueCHEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might still be attainable but no guarantee. A press wont help remove it.
