Elseworlds 80.. grading query 0

[nikki666666]

I wonder if anyone has any experience or can help answer my question...

I have two copies of Elseworlds 80 page and they both suffer from the same (what i think) manufacturing error..

along the whole length of the spine, front and back are ripples. I assume this is an error that has occurred when the glue dries on a square fold book with a thin paper not card cover.

I have seen others listed on ebay and they are marked up by the sellers as 9.2 / 9.4 etc and when i ask them for a 3/4 view of the book and enquire about the ripples they all say that it has them.

My question is, is this a know error for this book and would this then affect the grading of it? i.e.. would it be ignored as defect when being graded. Are 9.4 etc still achievable on this book with the problem?

any advice or know help would be fantastic.

Anyone have any light they can shed on this issue?

Anyone from CGC maybe??

I doubt CGC would ignore this degree of rippling when determining a technical grade. While it is production related, it is severe. The good thing is most of that can be pressed out to help bump the grade up.

You think this could be safely pressed out? my worry is that it is a glued square bound book... can the pressing work without melting the glue?

or is that what it needs maybe to flatten the ripples?

You answered your own question.
