lostboys Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Is that shaken comic syndrome? Im noticing it more and more and wondering if its a side effect of the new holders. Theres more room in the cases now and you can move the book form one side to the other with a light tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Don't lay flat how? SCS is when a comic is damaged from too much movement within the case. djzombi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are 2 I kept cause they aren't that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lizards2 Posted January 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2022 So a lot of raw books have a wave to them from production, which encapsulation will not "fix". I am thinking you may have some wrong ideas, which may be making you the type of customer no one is going to want to deal with. theCapraAegagrus, lostboys, F For Fake and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalPSI Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 SCS is usually impact damage from books sliding around in the holder What youre showing is comics in their natural state when not sandwiched in a box lizards2 and djzombi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostboys Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 Maybe I have a touch of ocd but that Maxx 1/2 is not a natural wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this affect the grade at all? The one in my pic is a 9.6 but it looks flawless other than the waves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dent very easily, the foil scratches just looking at it, and you can't press out the defects I only have one 9.8 and its a regular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalPSI Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Had me look at the registry, and I'm more impressed with my collection than ever. Not a single book in there is pressed, and if I would have them done, there might be two, the 9.4s, that wouldn't become 9.8s The two 9.2s are from Albert Moy and someone else handling them, issue 18 and 19. Put finger dents in them, that could be pressed The 9.4 3D and Blue 1/2 foil will never be more because of that cheap cardboard stock. I had a Wolverine Bloodhungry TPB signed and slabbed as well and it only came back a 9.4. I bought that book off the shelf. Probably has fingerprints all over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post joeypost Posted January 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2022 Some waves are caused by the inner well. It rarely sits perfectly flat. It is especially evident in square bound books. theCapraAegagrus, Msgarmar, MetalPSI and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
