Here are the sections that @CaptainCanuck highlighted blown up. They sure look identical to me. |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| @Terry88 right now I'm only suspicious of my photography and comic book assessment skills. I'll gladly do business with CBCS again in the future and I'm happy that I've been given some good advice on how to ship comics properly even though I watched a handful of youtube videos, even one from CGC, before shipping. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Jesse_Olook at window to right of spiderman foot.. Larger in second image, and then further down the page below is a window below the Web that is only slightly seen on the first book which makes it appear like slightly different cut angle on cover.(hence why n is the same. Fiolow that angle and look at the windows in the bottom right corner, and again appears slightly different. Which doubles with what looks like a different spine.. Purely speculation as only photos, but I don't believe it's same book |

| @Wraith @BrianGreensnips Thanks for the welcome, although somewhat embarrassing I'm learning a lot from this. Once again I'm 100% positive it's the same book, far too hard to compare a bagged and unbagged comic in different lighting at slightly different angles. Time to put this to rest. CBCS did a great job with my comics and if I find anything else worth grading in my limited collection I'll definitely be sending them to CBCS again. Also if you're still not convinced go to the previous post of multiple before pictures. To me it looks like the spine creases are more clear towards the top of the spine on the photo of the front cover along the spine when you zoom in. Surprisingly this makes me feel better knowing that my comics likely weren't damaged at all from the time I packed them to when they were returned to me. | ||

| It’s the glare from the lighting on the bag that is washing away some graphic elements on the edge of the original book. Look at the “N” in “Spider-Man”, it’s also getting washed out at the edge of the original photo on the left. It’s the same book. |

Quote:Originally Posted by CaptainCanuckthere is very little glare at the bottom right corner of the book and it looks different there too.. p.s. all in good fun.. But I see a lot of difference on the right side, (different cut) and left side (spine roll that doesnt account for bag/glare imo. I wish I still had a photoshop license at home.. I really want to review this in detail.  .Eg.. Look at window in right vs left. Added 0.5mm - 1mm to page edge in grading process?  |
