Join me as I chat to Manu the 9.9 Newsstand where he will give an update on PSA grading comic books. We will also be joined by Ron the Palm Beach Comic Presser, who has recently sent out an email to his customers regarding CGC slabs bending comic books. The inner wells appear to be bending the comics inside and are causing spine ticks to the books. This term has been coined the 'Banana Bend' or 'Bendgate'. CGC are yet to respond publicly about the issue, but there are a large number of customers coming forward with their books being damaged from encapsulation.
Please join the discussion and we look forward to your questions in the live chat.
