Curious About "Waves"
jmagg73 replied to Crumb93's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
I had waves on the back cover of my Chew 1 and it brought it down to a 7. Would pressing that book be worth a try? -

vintage book w/ date stamp on reverse
jmagg73 replied to matty_kay's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
I had one with more than one date stamp. It must have lowered the grade if it was in the graders notes -

Fingerprints? Scuffs? Fingerbends?
jmagg73 replied to jmagg73's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
I believe all books should start out at 10 and go down. This is obviously not the case anymore. They start at 9.8. You guys with thousands of posts are appologists doing damage control for cgc or have drunk too much of the kool-aid. sorry.. my 2cents -
Fingerprints? Scuffs? Fingerbends?
jmagg73 replied to jmagg73's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
Im referring to inconsistency. There are 9.6s here with stress lines and fingerbends... thats worse than a 9.4 with fingerprints in corner? There are 9.4s here with bends in the cover and stress lines. There is a 9.4 with 3 fingerprints and a scratch that breaks color. All equal to 9.4 with a fingerprint? How can you possibly be serious that it is acceptable to give a comic with flaws only seen through a magnifying glass a 9.4?! This company has only its reputation to survive on. The reputation that grading comics doesnt change year to year. That a 9.4 with stress lines and fingerbends doesnt equal to a 9.4 with fingerprints. I regret not using The other company. 9.8s still sell better through them than 9.4s with a fingerprint. -
Fingerprints? Scuffs? Fingerbends? I just got the grader notes for my walking dead issues that I dropped off at C2E2. The grades are all inconsistent. I thought 3 people graded each issue and compared notes? I am also concerned about how my books were handled since 2 issues had bends throughout the top half of the books and 2 issues had crunches in the same corners. I dont see how a fingerprint can pull a grade down to a 9.4 or another book grades at 9.6 but has fingerbends and stress line. I spent over a thousand dollars getting 30 books graded. I have lost faith in this process. does anyone really believe all those 9.8 silver keys graded years ago didnt have fingerprints on them? What is considered a scuff?... Laying the issue on a table?

Dropped off my comics when I was at c2e2... was horrified to see the cgc worker pick up my stack of 2 WAlking Dead #1s ( (that were bagged and boarded) with his thumb near the middle of the spine. He was picking up most of them that way.
