KayPea Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I sent a few comics off to CGC and one came back that shocked me, tell me what you think. CGC graded it a 7! My cert # is 4431249002 for issue 240 Fantastic Four or the link to it is: https://www.cgccomics.com/certlookup/4431249002/ Notes state light staining but I am just not seeing, nor said crease. Someone find it for me and tell me where the issues are. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semicentennial Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) Can't tell if this is part of the art, or slight creasing. Edited May 25 by Semicentennial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The staining could refer to gloss irregularities that might only be seen in a glancing light and may be tough to see through the plastic case. I submitted a couple of Thor Silver Age books that I knew had significant, irregular areas of gloss loss and the notes just indicated "staining".

revat Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Consider looking at it from different angles and under different amounts/types of light. Many defects can’t be seen straight on under normal lighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayPea Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 Thanks guys! I now see the small stain in that corner. I tried a few different lighting options after the suggestions here and can see it easily in more of a natural light. Appreciate the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
