"Hi, I'm new to this forum , and I would like to ask for guidance regarding how to properly store comics (as I'm new to comics collecting in general) and also I have some concern as currently i'm living in a small apartment with one flatmate and she likes to iron her clothes in the living room sometimes I'm a bit concerned could the heat generate from Iron be enough to damage my collections by any mean?"  Oh....my......god!  |

I probably wouldn't go higher than 4.0 (which is likely much lower than CGC would grade it) Is that a major key because I sure wouldn't slab a comic with that much distributer jizz on it It's an ASM #129. Sorry, forgot to come back to this. Look at it before the press! www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/445261-what-is-this-ink/ |

I bet it gets a different grade if it were an ASM 128.  I want to see after- after pictures next year. |

Amazing. I could never grade that comic that high with all the dist ink. The press helped structurally but that's just way too much ink. |

With all that ink on the back cover, I'm surprised it graded so high. The front of the book does look pretty nice though.

www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/411880-marvel-pence-priced-variants/page/38/?tab=comments#comment-10679880Boooooo! How about some integrity CGC? Posted Saturday at 10:26 AM CGC will begin labeling price variants for comics from the UK, Canada and Australia that fall into the Type 1A category as "variant" rather than "edition", starting Monday. The three terms below will be used accordingly: UK Price Variant Canadian Price Variant Australian Price Variant Foreign books that differ from the US versions in terms of page count, art, ads, etc. will still be labeled as "edition". Other foreign books that have no US counterpart will be labeled as being from that particular country. Given the large and varied number of international comics in the market, CGC will continue its research to insure these books are accurately categorized. We continue to welcome any feedback, which can be directed to me via email: bmcmanus@cgccomics.com

This year's most commonly used phrase on the CGC board... "I really wish I hadn't done that!" |

 Thanks for posting that Jeff. Here's my response to the video: 1) I'm of the opinion that CGC should not be shipping a defective design which causes newton rings in the first place. The fact that they have been doing so for years just adds insult to injury. 2) This method does not permanently 'remove' newton rings, they just come back because 't' is not sufficiently large enough to prevent them. What Causes Newton Rings - A Simple Explanation3) This method could easily cause a crack in the case; or worse, a crease in the comic at the center of the bottom edge of the book. |

FFS! That SCS outbreak is disgusting. I haven't read up much on it yet, mostly just looking at the images and immediate comments, but I think I'm going to. This is too much. Once again, be on the lookout for specific generation slabs  If it hasn't happened yet, I expect people will add a premium to their Pre-  slabs. "Slabbed before [whenever the Newton/Puddling/SCS Outbreak began]. Book is undamaged." |

"Slabbed before [whenever the Newton/Puddling/SCS Outbreak began]. Book is undamaged."Don't bother. 99.999% of what is posted on this topic ( especially on the CGC forum) is incorrect. People who have invested in graded comics don't want to believe that there is a systemic problem. Cognitive dissonance prevents them from accepting the obvious. They attribute the damage to everything and anything other than a poorly designed plastic case. I'll give you an example (and one of the reasons why I don't bother trying to educate anyone anymore): HERE, I'm explaining exactly what happened to Kimik's books. HERE, Kimik (a member since 2003) refuses to believe it; and, instead, states that it must have occurred during encapsulation. This is patently absurd. First, the evidence is as plain as day that the damage occurred from SCS - the book clearly blew through the bottom seal, which pealed back the pages. Second, there's no way the operator of the sealer would not notice that he's clamping down on a book, nor would even a partial seal be possible under those circumstances. I didn't even bother to respond. This is the kind of brain damage that only occurs after years and years of tongue-darting the CGC anus...you become invested...you become one with the problem...and you become an obstacle to improvement. |
