On rare occasion a comic gets released in a sealed poly bag. In the past two that stick out in my mind are the FF death of Johnny and there was a Superman milestone in the early 90's.
This week, Marvel's Civil War II #3 midnight release cover is in a sealed poly bag. What I am seeing through the bag is just a solid black cover with the title and such on it but when I look up the variant in the CPG, the picture of the cover has a sketch of the Hulk on the cover.
So I guess what I am getting to is this, does removing the poly bag or the poly bag being damaged affect the value of the comic?
Also, anyone know what the deal is with the difference in the covers?

I have an issue of The Losers #15 in its unopened clear polybag with the World of Tomorrow disc inside. I haven't had the heart to open it but came across an opened copy without the disc to use as a reading copy. Looking through the bag the comic doesn't look that bad or affected by staying in its bag (around 12-13 years!). I'm guessing some polybags are not "acid-free" leading to degradation over time.
If a polybag is air tight - then that is fine. If air gets in the interior pages fade. Best to open the bag and put both in bag/board.
BTW - If you want some faded comics that had been in polybags unopened for years - let me know - I have dozens.
