Murm private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @Sigur_Ros I agree on all your points. I also believe that the Stan Lee sig is legit and I have not even seen it. I’m putting a little faith in the COA. If I’m not mistaken is it true that CBCS will honor a CGC witnessed sig as legit? I know it’s not the same as the example here just that they will accept them to some degree. Sigs are kind of a deal with me. I don’t chase them now but I used to. Have a short box of signed books from 30 years ago that I am so far 5 for 5 with verification from CBCS. This might sound crazy but I expect any more that I send in to pass as well. I personally had them signed so I expect the pros to be able to correctly verify them when the time comes. But for all I know maybe Monks bumped Linsner while signing my Cry for Dawns and that skewed the sig just enough for CBCS to say nope we don’t like it-rejected. I might find out someday. I love this hobby. |

| And @xkonk what a bummer about the issue with your X-Men 1. Stinks that PGX missed the trimming. Hope you still made out OK with it. | ||

| I thought foxing is the result of oxidation of the materials found in paper of the era.....is this correct? If this is true, from a grade perspective, shouldn't foxing be treated like a manufacturing error...meaning little to no impact on the grade? Or is foxing a result of foreign matter introduced after manufacturing? |

| @GAC - I believe that foxing is usually a result of less than ideal storage conditions. So not all copies of a book, no matter how old, will show foxing. | ||

DrWatson private msg quote post Address this user | |
| From what I can gather, foxing is a reddish-brown stain that can form on old paper. The term “foxing” comes from the color. There’s a theory that foxing is caused by the oxidation of iron or copper in the makeup of the pages. It’s also believed that heat and humidity (storage conditions) can contribute to foxing, whether it’s oxidation or mold. It hasn't been clearly established as to what exactly foxing is and how it occurs. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson Excellent! If foxing is caused by foreign matter than I completely understand the grade impact...if it's a reaction from materials found within the paper at the point of manufacturing then perhaps a case can be made to not hit the grade as hard....treated a similarly to a manufacturing defect. But it looks like it's too hard to tell. |

| I was sitting around watching YouTube videos of drunk drivers being pulled over by the cops and doing those sobriety tests. Just for s and g, I got up and tried doing them (walk a straight line, lift a foot and hold it, etc) and failed miserably. Are they supposed to be easy? | ||

| @Gaard They are designed for them to give themselves legal authority to arrest you until you blow back at the jail. If you blow zero, MOST of the time you're released. If cop is a d*ck, this happens... This teenager is now suing for wrongful arrest. It appears this police department has a problem doing this before. https://www.thegazette.com/crime-courts/coralville-man-to-receive-390000-settlement-after-wrongly-accused-of-impaired-driving/ |

Quote:Originally Posted by Gaard I think the whole sobriety test being conducted by someone that already thinks you've been drinking is a very weird biased test. In Australia there's no test, just blow in the bag (in the 70s) to now blow in the device where it accurately gauges alcohol level. |
