Look at this beautiful 9.8...

[GACollectibles]

Its due to light reflection. Lets be smart here gentleman.

 

Is this your first day here?

[BradleyX2]

Here;s an example for you guys.

 

This is the Wonder Woman #1 silver foil cover in a bag & board. (So the light is refracting thru 1 layer of plastic. Keep in mind that in a holder the light is going thru 2 layers of plastic).

 

 

 

And this is the same copy taken out of the bag.

 

 

 

When you use a scanner instead of a photo, it amplifies the effects even more.

Why are you trying to defuse incendiary comments with logic and reasoning? Get out of here with your rational thoughts and explanations!

[do-boy99]

Are you try to show this book has spine issues like the first one in the thread?

 

[do-boy99]

There is something very odd about that seller and his foil books.

All the other graded ones on the bay look nothing like his.

Check out the grade on his signed foil book. A little more realistic.

where's Marky?

[deadleg]

The bottom staples on both books look off as well. Doesn't look good at all. I'd be sending those back just to see what they come back as a second time.

 

So, you'd send them back to see if they came back with a lower grade?

 

Yes. I wouldn't be comfortable having those in my personal collection if they looked like that in hand. If they came back lower, so be it but I'd be curious.

 

Curiosity can kill you.

 

Schrodinger's slab.....

where's Marky?

 

He's just hangin out.

[THE_BEYONDER]

These new silver foil covers from DC don't scan very well because of the way they reflect light.

 

They do better when they're just photographed.

 

 

That's a 9.8?

 

Really?

Were you to scan that book right now ( ) , would spine breaks appear?

[Beastfeast]

a 9.8 can have a spine tic but those look pretty gnarly.

I'm not even sure why I care.

 

Foil covers?

[B2D327]

take these into consideration when submitting your answers to green eggs contest

[MetalPSI]

Partially detached staple.

 

Light refraction.

:winnah:

 

Agree

 

[comicdonna]

I saw the light.

On a second look at the bottom staple, it looks stressed. Is there a Creep Engine effect going on? Are we going back to the older well design, or what was the ultimate solution here? I avoided all of the drama of the last several months so I don't know, short of what youtube videos I could find. That unfortunately included marky's but there were also some very surprising videos as well all made by rational even tempered folks.

There couldn't be a creep engine effect happening on these books because they're in the modified holder. The creep engine was happening on the 4/4 books when they were using mylar to sandwich the books. Now we have the traditional inner well with notches and without surrounded by the new outer case.

[Iceman399]

I'm guessing those spine ticks showed up after grading. No chance that is a 9.8 in the grading room.

I continue to ask here and still haven't gotten an answer....

 

WHAT WAS THE CHANGE TO HOLDER? IS THE BOOK NAKED IN THE OUTER WELL WITH THE MYLAR? ARE THEY STILL USING PRESSURE TO HOLD THE BOOK IN PLACE?

 

WAS THE SUPPLIER PROBLEM THE REASON FOR THIS DIRECTION?

 

Sadly, marky's book had waves in this new holder.

 

If anyone has any CGC links that describe in detail how they are encapsulating books today, I'd appreciate it. It's been frustrating being away during this and trying to get the clear answer.
