Black_Adam Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Recent slab - to say that I'm disappointed with the slick of newton rings across the face of the cover would be a Kingpin-sized understatement... jdw1991, Larryw7 and Badger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaard Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Will CGC listen if you request no newton rings when you submit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skypinkblu Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I just got back a bunch of GA books, no Newton Rings yet, no ripples at the top yet...but these are way too heavy and while I could fit about 25 in a box before, I'm down to 22 (maybe). I'll see what happens when I get the SA books back. I wonder where quality control was with your book @Black_Adam? They really shouldn't be sending those out.

Black_Adam Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I would love it if we could request "no Newton rings" on the submission form but I have a hunch that is not an option. Has anyone sent a slab with a significant amount of rings to be reholdered? And, if yes, did this correct the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone sent a slab with a significant amount of rings to be reholdered? And, if yes, did this correct the problem? I haven't tried to reholder books with newton rings, but I have wanted to. A while back I got back two expensive (for me) books with very bad puddling. I contacted Christian, and after sending him some pics, he said that they would reholder them for free. They came back with the EXACT same puddling. Not similar, mind you, they were the same. They transferred the books right from my box to theirs. I remember removing them from the CGC box and thought, "Shoot, they have puddling again. And they're the same size...in the same spot of the book. Come to think of it...". After I got out the pics of the books I had sent to Christian, and my suspicions confirmed, I figured that they just wanted to shut me up. So even though I've gotten books back with excessive amounts of rings (where the WHOLE cover is covered), I haven't even tried to contact them again.

The 30 I sent back were all in the normal thickness cases(copper/moderns). They were all put in the thicket #5 cases and all were improved with most showing none of very little.

And if so, I wonder if we can make that request on our forms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purchased an ASM 50 off ebay with excessive newton rings. Sent in to be reholdered with a sticky note reading "excessive newton rings, help!". Should be back within the next week or so. Anxious to see what it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artboy99 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 sounds like they could just switch to #5 cases for all books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it came back in a regular size case. Paid the reholder fee since I was not the original submitter. Cozmo-One 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyhips Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I recently bought a Batman Beyond #1 (1999 ; first Terry McGinnis) in the new slab on Ebay and it has bad rings. Am probably going to crack it and place in Mylar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
