KCode98 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 What would cause the top banner on a CGC case be wavy almost like it got wet? Is it possible to keep the grade, send in to CGC for repairs or something? Looks very odd, haven't seen this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicquant Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Its not common but definitely not unusual. I've had several with a wavy banner. I didn't even bother having them reholdered but thats certainly an option if it bothers you. When you have a book reholdered you send it in to be encapsulated again and it keeps the current grade... Unless CGC feels it needs to be regraded. I've seen a couple of cases where a book was damaged and was regraded during a reholder. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a book with a very wavy label but I won't bother getting it fixed because there is no way that book would again get the 9.8 it didn't deserve the first time through.

It's a fold-over from the front label, so can't be wavy. Maybe you have an older slab, if they were different way back when? A photo would not leave us clueless here.

Yes the label that has the grade, page color, etc Each CGC graded book has two labels. He's asking if you are referring to the tiny thin label you can see when looking at the top thin edge of the CGC case as you look at it from the top down (like when the book is in a comic box with other books and all you can see is the top edge). I believe you are probably talking about the regular large label you can see when looking directly at the books cover. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look very wavy, maybe from humidity. It was graded 10 years ago, so who knows??? You can send it in for a reholder, if you want to invest the money. The grade should stay the same, barring any shipping damage on the way to FL. You might be better off having it pressed to get rid of that spine roll. You could press screen it, so if they don't think pressing will help the grade, they just reholder it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
