stynxno Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I could use some help figuring out what’s “allowed” in NM/M copies. I bought via eBay a CGC 9.8 copy Captain Marvel 23 (cuz I like the cover). When it arrived, I noticed the lower left corner had a ncb crease 1/2” up the spine and another ncb crease with a very lightly dinged corner. I have a few other 9.8s and the corners are usually sharp. I can’t tell if this is a production defect or the defect allowed for this copy for the 9.8 grade. I’ve attached pics to try to capture what I’m seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnybooks Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I would not be happy with this 9.8 The spine appears to have some ticks? DELTA 62 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeypost Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Could be SCS, but it doesn't look like typical damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to move way too much in the holder.It would have to move beyond the limits of the holder. I hate to think this got by CGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stynxno Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 Lol. The hair was from one of my cats. I wonder if it’s the case of a little damage made worse by SCS. I’m not sure how the ncb crease would have happened with SCS though. And there is at least one a tick or two up by the top staple. It was an eBay buy without a super high resolution pic - but it would have been tough to notice some of this unless I saw it in person. Alas.

theCapraAegagrus Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 SCS is my guess. Or they graded this one after CGC had their X-Mas party at the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
