Isn't that the funniest of ironies...? X-Force 1 and countless others don't have a similar affliction? Yes, they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen a "bagged" book, that had a heat seal, that didn't have some sort of indentation on the back cover that would have prevented a 9.8 straight out of the bag, and I have owned thousands of bagged comics (including a full case...150 copies....of Darker Image #1 Gold, all bagged, all of which had some level of indentation on the back cover.) The number of unpressed 9.8s coming out of a bagged comic more than a few days or weeks after production is, in my estimation, so small as to be statistically null. Any such book, outside of the few that were unbagged immediately upon publication (and maybe not even then), and preserved properly, would need a press to achieve 9.8.
