| I'm considering submitting some of my newer books and i was wondering what people's experiences have been with grading on moderns recently. I have several books that appear to have no visible flaws, colorbreaks, tics, etc. yet they all seem to have a waviness when you see them in certain light. Image books in particular seem to be prime offenders, but marvel and dc are not exempt from this also. About 75% of my books from last week seemed to have this issue, it's not water damage. What sort of grades have people been receiving? If these are essentially flaws from manufacturer, or they are"just the way they are made" it seems like that should be taken into account. Are people just pressing these books? Inquiring mind wants to know. | ||

 I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life.

     almost all of them do now, and mostly marvel. DC and IDW seem to not have these conditional waves in my experience. I press them flat because it looks terrible, regardless of grade or not. |

| This is common in production in many comics, especially some newer comics. You can get a 9.8 with some degree of waviness, but there are extremes that can cause the book to grade lower. It is a judgment call by the grader in the moment. | ||

| Yeah, that's right, my recent B covers of Batman and Batgirl, Harley Quinn have the waves as well. | ||
