2Sunny Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) Probably my favorite book in my collection. Curious about the creases on the back as they look to be production related. Is that possible and if so would it make a difference in grading? Still learning Edited October 16, 2021 by Joe Peck FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candygramformongo Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Nice looking book! I'd say 6.5/7.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I’m thinking they are NOT production, but then I don’t have the book in hand…obviously. Lol. Let’s see what others say. 🤙 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoggyNelson Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 With those creases I would call it fine- 5.5 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendelbo Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 6.5 Looks like production creases to me. C&P for 7.0. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will most definitely report back after the C&P. I'm planning on sending in 20 total for C&P and Grading. I'm very interested to see the results. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zegeroth Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 5.5, won’t press out, not production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks very similar to another crease in my collection and I asked CGC directly and got this reply. Quote Good morning, I had our graders take a look and they advised that this most likely would be considered a printer's crease which is a common manufacturing defect on books from that time period. It can have little to no effect on the final grade, depending on the size, number of creases and severity as well as the condition of the rest of the book. It can also still receive a blue Universal label as long as there are no other defects that require a qualified label. If you have any other questions, please let us know. Thank you! Also I mailed the Defenders 1 in yesterday with 20 other C&P candidates so we should have a definitive answer in a couple months Edited October 21, 2021 by Joe Peck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candygramformongo Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Since these were already sent in and you're getting a C/P, I'm locking in at 7.0 after the C/P. Yes, I know that's the highest anyone said and yes, I'm probably wrong....but if I'm right I'll get bragging rights! (and/or if I'm wrong, I'll conveniently "forget" to reply to this thread). Also, @Joe Peck,when you said we'll find out in a "couple of months", you meant "around next Thanksgiving" right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, when I said by Christmas I was looking at times given for grading only. Now I see C&P adds a ton of time. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that times are improving. For what it’s worth I did spring for Fast Track since I’m not planning on selling but did this just to keep and better preserve books in my own collection so I wasn’t terribly price sensitive. candygramformongo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnybooks Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 appears production and 5.5 as is C&P will clean up nicely to a 6.5 candygramformongo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
