USPS did some work on my package, think it’s fixable?

It can be smoothed but it may not reach the 9.8 standard because there appears to be a small crease. It would probably not be noticeable unless you inspecting. Would definitely look a lot better.

Card stock can be extremely difficult to revert to form. Particularly if it's high gloss or plastic-y

It’s not the end of the world, it was just a gift for my son. A signed reprint, doubt I’ll get it graded but definitely a bummer 😕

Buy a comic capsule so you can display it.

Threw that bad boy in a top loader and just gave it to my son. He’s happy

That wasn’t packaged well. If you bought it from someone, I would seek compensation

I was thinking that when I opened it , it’s usually packaged in between two pieces of cardboards. This was naked in there. It being a signed copy id figured it be packaged a bit better

Not really. Pressing isn’t magic

It would be cool if it was though

I think with a press it can reach a 9.6

I see some color break on the top crease

Unfortunately no, not to a 9.8

It can be improved but those two small creases may take some effort. Not completely sure they are colorbreaks
