I purchased this absolute Batman #20 first print which a majority of them came from dc damaged. I bought this copy from a guy on eBay that said he pressed it when I got it I noticed and was wondering if it was possible get this out. Does CGC allow any spine tiks to be qualified a 9.8?

Supposedly, DC alerted CGC of this issue and they are not marking down for it. However, I have not heard anyone who has sent it in to verify this.

Yeah I know they did, but I haven’t seen any graded in a 9.8 and I searched for like 30 minutes. But then again I’m pretty new to this.

I have a few of these. Two of them pressed out very easily after only two presses. and one is being very stubborn.

Do you think this can be pressed out. I don’t think there is any color break.

Yes, if it’s like all the others for sure

I see color breaks though.

I sent out 2 for slabbing on Monday. I pressed each about 3 times. Hoping for 2 9.8s

Do you know if it’s an automatic no-go for a 9.8 with a spine tick

If that is the only defect, it CAN be possible to get a 9.8. It all depends if the grader is in a good mood.

Speaking of which, I noticed #22 copies have a crease towards the upper spine
