DR.X Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 The stickers will leave dents on the front covers..... No, they don't. I have re-bagged a few books that I bought at cons that had stickers on the bags and sometimes the stickers do leave marks on the books inside. You might only be able to see the mark if you hold the book at a certain angle or in a certain light. It also probably depends on the thickness of the bag and how tightly the books were packed in a box, and for how long, etc, etc, but it can happen. Yes, it can. I've seen it countless times. That's why I never use stickers for anything and immediately rebag anything with one. Sometimes the dent is extremely deep. Without a doubt stickers will leave impressions over time depending on the way the book is stored. Even the flap of a bag could leave an impression if stored too tightly together. This is correct. I've seen that too. (thumbs u I purchased quite a few books a while back that all had those impressions on the b..c. from the flap being tucked in, and being compressed in a box at 200 p.s.i.

ItsJustRyan Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Got these back on Saturday. The FF#57 was a surprise PLOD (trimmed on top) that after looking can't figure how they determined that is was trimmed. Oh well... Not a group of high grade books, but some decent mid-grades with nice eye appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manetteska Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Nice books, Ryan! Hulk 102 is one of my favorites; not to mention the original Silver Surfer trilogy. (And a great slideshow. May have to teach a few others how to do that.) I'm eventually going to have to bite the bullet and submit a large order if these crazy prices stay where they are. I have yet to get a PLOD or GLOD, so . Sorry about yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prettycrazy4life Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 These just came back from WW Sac. The NM 98 was disappointing... especially after seeing the graders notes too but overall pretty happy with the haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only all the above, but the flap LINE and piece(s) of TAPE can leave indentations over time. And it doesn't even have to be tightly packed. Over years, they'll just work their way into the cover. Good thing there's pressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meeklo Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Love delivery day! It's like Christmas! I was hoping the ASM #430 and #431 would be 9.8s. The Secret Wars #8 is a bit disappointing. The X-Men #141 and #142 are the prizes for this round since they used to be PGX 8.0 and 9.0 respectively! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mttemp Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 This week I was able to purchase three books that are back from CGC and tomorrow I will see the grade on Uncle Scrooge 179 that is in express graded status at CGC.

The second rare Whitman that I bought is Tom and Jerry 331 CGC 9.6 ,and the third is Beep Beep Roadruner 93 CGC 9.4 I am lucky to find these books for upgrades in my set.
