| I predicted CGC would follow up the banana wells with banana slabs months ago. | ||

| This is likely another 9.8 ruined by "the banana effect". No boardies left at the sanitized CGC forum to comment about it. Or not willing to stick their necks out. The thread would only get vaporized anyway, if a few pointed out the probability that the inner well caused the spine crunch. Or from any reference to the word banana. |

| Unfortunate when the owner asks "If 9.8 or overgraded". Who will tell him that it probably was a "9.8" when sent in. It only became less than that after the case/encapsulation damaged the book. |

| Funny, I've never seen a slabbed book warp and bow in the past. I wonder what the cgc changed that makes their cases bow and melt now? | ||

| It doesn't matter to the flipsters. As long as they keep submitting their flavor of the month modern variants for slabbing, then hock their shoddy wares to the public, it'll continue. The competition can't take itself seriously to call out this nonsense, so why would CGC care? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by chester15 An update to this CGC situation where the bent case obviously crinked the book. The newest poster says he thinks it's OK because it will press out (no, just no). Says he would be fine with it since it's already slabbed. This is the mentality you are dealing with over there. |

| This is what the owner of this book posted: Two very small bends on the cover that barely break color keep this at 9.4. This is the picture he posted. Those don't look like small bends to me. I think this book has been banana-ed.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson Definitely a banana casualty. Those are not small bends. They're spine crinks. If you pressed this book, the crinks would get flattened back out, revealing large color-breaking creases, super-visible against that black background. This book should be listed under a new eBay category: Comics>Graded>CGC>Banana. The title and description should state "2 Massive Crinks". |
