I'm not sure what causes this particular defect, but I find it much less noticeable than (and preferable to) a prototypical production crease. On your book, I'd say Diablo was a victim of a wiggly wrinkle! The waves on the top edge can be the result of a poor press or the inner well being too tight. I have cracked out a lot of slabs where the book looks wavy in the well and lays flat once released from its tomb.

I’m Positive you don’t expect Joey to cut you a cheque when a book comes back lower then anticipated, do you? What would be fair is if CGC didn’t have a potential conflict of interest in their pricing. The higher it grades the more it’s worth the more you pay. I’m not saying that they do this but why even have the temptation or appearance of it?! Charge a flat fee regardless of value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoomanfoo Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I’m sorry but all that overhang on the top edge should have been improved much more. This book does not look well pressed. wish I knew the presser so I can avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
