Newton Rings

Hello. I just received my first ever batch of slabbed comics from CGC. They look beautiful and I see zero Newton rings. 

I have a couple questions. I'm sure these questions have been asked before in this topic, but I notice there are hundreds of posts here and I don't have time to go through all the posts.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

1- My slabs have no rings now. Can they appear later on? And if so......

2- Is there a way to store the slabs in order to prevent or prolong the appearance of Newton rings? 

I don't think there's an answer to your first question yet. They modified the cases to prevent NR's but on the older ones, I did have a few where they got slightly worse over time. No idea why though.

I'm in Chicago, so it's humid in the summer/bitter cold in the winter(shrug)

Just sold this one on eBay  nice Tick 1.  Buyer was not happy after receiving book asking me if water or moisture spilled on front. Messaged him back with a hearty caveat emptor and a link to this thread. He messaged me all good after some reading. The”rings” can look real bad on black books.

About 12 years or so ago, I won Marvels #1 through #4 CGC 9.8 in a Grails game.  I was looking at them a year later and noticed this oily film moving around in at least one of the slabs.  For a little while, I thought I had ruined them.  Pure panic!

Just got this back from cgc. They told me that it was an “acceptable” amount of newton rings. They said they would reholder it at my expense. Wow. Its literally all over the front of the book. The problem obviously isnt solved.

At least Matt can't see them. Murdock I mean, not Nelson.

They said it was an “acceptable” amount, but then I contacted Brittany and I’m sending it back to her for a reholder. Everyone else acted like I was crazy. Lol

They'd be lost without her.

Purchased this one this week. I t showed up with a ton of this effect as well as a hair inside (a long hair) the inner well. The whole cover has the Newton ring effect with the exception of where the hair runs across the book. Would CGC do anything about this?

Funny. We used to raise Greyhounds. (Long ago) Now that Florida has eliminated Greyhound racing we have to do something will all of them. Why not send them to CGC  as that hair is the only place on the cover without the Newton ring effect. So as absurd as that sounded you may be on to something.. maybe that's what they meant by they fixed the issue!

It's the only way to defeat the rings. Hairy covers. I've seen them. It's the future.

Depending on who's it is it might go for a premium.. plus they said they don't encapsulate other items with the books.. better list this one as a one of a kind error..
