Comic wavy in cgc holder 2 2

[wchung]

Hi Boardies,  

Got this JIM 93 book on last comiclink auction.  The book seems to wavy inside the holder.  I have heard some discussion on these holder.  The grade date is 5/24/2016.

Will this cause long term damage to the book if I dont get it reholder? I would prefer not to touch it if there is no harm to book.

Recommendations and comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Warren

Yeah, I a friend of mine had the same thing happen to him, only it was a modern book.  It’s that type of holder with no inner well.  When we cracked it out, the book was definitely wonky.  I would take it out or send it in to get reholdered.

I don't think the current holder will contribute to it becoming wavier.  A little wavy, a lot wavy, pressing will probably fix it either way.  If you intend to keep it, I would just leave it as is.  A comic of this value, the less you mess with it, the better, I think.

If you want to put it in a new holder, and it's already wavy, I'm not sure that makes any sense.  Your first inclination would be to have it pressed flat when it's cracked out, but then maybe it doesn't qualify for a "no evaluation" reholder because you have altered it by having it pressed.  Then it's a regrade.  You will have pressing fees with a long wait, and grading fees, shipping fees both ways.  It's not a cheap comic, so these are not low tier fees.  More money, some risk it changes grade downward, but also could go up . 

Even shipping it in to have it reholdered has risk - damage during shipping, damage during cracking out or re-encapsulation, damage during return shipping.
