Hello, I submitted my first comic to CGC to be graded and when i received it there are a ton of really bad smudges, I initially thought it was only on encapsulation but I can't tell for sure and hope it did not get on book. Does anyone have any ideas what this is? I'm sending back as mechanical error but want to ensure that my grade will not plummet if cgc someone messed up the book not just the encapsulation proccess
If I've told those graders once. I've told them a thousand times - "NO CHEESY POPCORN WHILE ON GRADING DUTY!"

ON NEWSSTANDS JUNE 1964
Amazing Spider-man #16 - Letters Page
“There’s no telling what our next ish of Spiderman will be... but you can be sure they’ll come up with something...”
Stan didn't KNOW, because he wasn't writing it.
Ditko was already souring on ideas Stan tried to give him - like this issue - a repeated villain from another comic (written by Kirby)... with a crossover hero from another book...
Are you sure that Stan even wrote these? I bet this was farmed out to (pardon my fading memory and no disrespect intended) what’s her name?

Thanks for putting this up. To me, this original colouring looks so much better than the Photoshop version in the Masterwork.
It always does. Masterworks creep me out.

All the rest is just noise.
And you quoted me why? There was never an argument - I take offense.

Recent Additions:
I also recently got back from cgc a half dozen Wrightson books reholdered with shiny new pedigree labels.
I always wonder how many of these slabbed books were originally from my Tomato Boxes . . .

In the old days, the running joke around here was that "an eBaay VF" was generally closer to a CGC 5.0 VG/FN. I hope I'm not around to see the day when the average eBaay seller is more conservative/strict than CGC.
Well, have you ever actually checked out any of my listings?

Do others think they were able to discern an 85% spine split on the Hulk?
Hey Tom!
I think it's reasonable to assume the tape was placed to repair/stabilize a split (which is far and away the most common reason tape is placed along the outside spine). My personal estimate was for an 80% split, since the taped portion of the spine appeared to be about 8" long. 
Well, a 1.5 allows for a LOT of defects - the Hulk was my only Bull, overgraded the rest.

1 person has a score of 1.
1 person has a score of 2 with 4 bullseyes.
3 people have a score of 3.
None of whom are me.

Tough freakin' line-up - well chosen there Mike! (This ought to separate the men from the boys and the women from the girls!!!)
