Impossible to do better without spending a small fortune these days. A CGC 9.0 just sold on Heritage for $3840. I wonder how much a 9.2 would be worth now.... flashlites 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sorry my bad. I was thinking of the 7.5 copy. Is the serial number 1096231007? Its o.k there's nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Surfing Alien Posted July 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2021 Spent a LOT on vintage pbs lately but this mid grade reader fit right in my wheelhouse at a great price so I had to fill that spot in my run.

Popular Post Surfing Alien Posted July 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2021 Scored a couple more for the run, these are higher grade. The covers are all cool but the Enrich cover on #47 is pretty spectacular in hand Key Largo Comics, flashlites, oakman29 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfing Alien Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 So I picked up this right-in-my-wheelhouse Fine-ish copy of #8 but didn't notice the odd blobby lighter spots in the black on the right side of the cover. It's definitely not staining because the paper is undisturbed. I went looking and found a vg copy on the bay that has similar marks in a different place. So I'm assuming it's a printer roller error where something prevented full ink on those spots? OtherEric, oakman29, Jayman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm assuming it's a printer roller error where something prevented full ink on those spots? Sometimes lint or other things will get picked up on the blanket (the part of the press that makes contact with the printing plate and transfers the image on the plate to the paper.) This can go unnoticed for many impressions before the pressman sees it. But these big splotches look like it may an ink and water issue where the ink from the ink rollers was not sticking to the plate in those particular spots? This could also go on for several impressions before the pressman notices it. Web presses can run at high speeds so there are likely many issues like this. Sooner or later it would have filled in by itself or adjustments would be made to correct the issue. Any other current or former pressmen out there to analyze this issue. (its been many, many years since my offset printing days). Surfing Alien 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfing Alien Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Here's the ebay VG with the same type markings, I haven't seen a cgc graded one with it yet so don't know if the grade would get hammered... not a big concern because this is for a reader/collection and was not expensive, but I like to know It's in the far upper right of the black on this one. Let me know if I should take this to the PGM section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashlites Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Yep, its a manufacturing defect, one I'm sure the CGC has notes about in their secret files. I bet it would affect the grade like a miss-cut, probably never make it into the 8 or 9 categories. But in this condition I wouldn't tend grade down for it. Put it in the PGM and lets see what they say and let us know so we can follow along maybe learn a thing or two along the way Edited July 21, 2021 by flashlites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
