Anyone else having issues with board access?

Ok, that's it for right now, will try to make it back for a few more sometime around 8:30pm EST.

Mark Evanier & Steve Sherman certainly were no Stan Lees. "Many of our other readers are no better off than you." "You can hardly expect to understand everything by the end of the second issue." "No one ever said comic books were easy to understand." If Stan were plugging this, he'd be congratulating us all on how intelligent we were to be following this saga, a work of unparalleled genius in the annals of literary masterpieces. And inviting us discerning readers to write in with our own theories as to what was going on or what would be happening next, in order to share how very smart we were with our fellow sophisticated comics connoisseurs.

Spawn #182 F+ $5 bend/crease upper right corner through book SOLD!!

It's tough to show without holding it open, but when I held it from the top, the bottom was hanging open. Also, the comic was sliding all over inside. When it arrived, part of the inner mylar seemed to cross over into the label area. When it's lying flat, the top comes down thanks to gravity, but since it was broken, I thought people who are used to seeing these thing (I'm not) would know what to look for. The fact that none of the commenters can tell that it's popped tells me that this is a form of broken corner that you haven't trained yourself to see. I was very tempted to slide the comic out, which absolutely could have been done with the gap involved, but thanks to your earlier admonition about not making it any worse, I didn't. Also, it's pretty clear the comic had significant moisture damage. Whether that is because of the broken corner or it's a different comic doesn't matter to me, it isn't a CGC 8.0 now, nor was it when it was shipped. This was it for me, I'm avoiding slabs (not just CGC) from now on, particularly GA. If I find something I want and it happens to be in a slab, it's coming out and staying out. Also, I am not trusting the grade. As far as I'm concerned, I'm back to the old days of haggling about the grade, except slabbed comics get an automatic deduction because the interior can't be inspected.

Since it opens almost 1/4", I have no problem beliieving I could slide the book out. However, I got a refund, so I didn't want to do something like that. In any event, if this is normal, then to hell with slabs. My opinion, this was open enough that a) I couldn't trust the comic in the slab was the comic on the label, and b) even if it was, the damaged slab allowed moisture damage, meaning the comic inside was no longer a legit 8.0. Either way, the slab is meaningless or worse, because it makes it difficult to inspect the comic and allows damage or tampering. Actually, I have to thank you gents for your remarks, because they've made me much more sour on the idea of buying slabs than I was this morning when I shipped it back to the seller.
