If someone did a Walk Thru on these that's some crazy shiitake mushrooms. No, they came out a couple months ago. The indicia page is 10/20.

MR SigS Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 As the PQ degrades (or whatever), what's next? Blue to Off Blue? Green? I wonder if they'll do Tan Pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me like fox used super cheap paper that could be any variety of slightly off-white shades. Pink does seem a bit extreme, but far from impossible.

As the submittor of these books, did you even bothered to flip past the cover to check out the interior pages to see if they are actually blue? If not yet, pull out some more of your extras and let us know here. JOEBORELLI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicginger1789 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 If these are errors they are hilarious. Assuming that when the grader or whoever enters info into the system, they either to it manually or else there is a drop down. Why the colours "pink" or "blue would even be options in such a drop down selection for PQ is beyond me. If they are actually talking about the pages in some way, I would like to know what was meant by it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Page Quality section of https://www.cgccomics.com/grading/grading-scale/: Pink This page designation is given to a small number of Golden Age comic books that were printed with pink tinted paper, particularly late ‘40s comics published by Fox. Pink is essentially equal to white in this instance. Blue Similar to pink pages, this grade is given in those rare instances when comic books were printed on blue tinted paper. Fox publications also occasionally used blue paper when printing their comic books in the late ‘40s. Professor K and The Lions Den 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So....maybe they clicked the wrong drop down as these colours would be in a drop down menu for whoever enters their data. That or maybe a batch of those books the OP posted were printed on blue paper. How they tell when the pages" are all glossy and covered with ink from edge to edge is beyond me.
