    Sounds like so far, the creasing is dropping it down from a higher grade, does anyone else have any ideas on what would drop it to a 6.0?
  9. Wolvie1
    Yikes dude. Please take your crazy elsewhere.

    I emailed CGC, and they confirmed that there is no maximum grade assignment for trimmed books.

    There I looked it up, 90 day on a 6.0 is $7950. I was offered ~$3k for it a couple of weeks ago. so pretty much bang on. 90 day on a 9.0 is $27600. So yes, definitely more than a couple of hundred upside no matter how you look at it. and please i'm really not here to argue or offend anyone, just for direction on the grading.

    And please, I'm not here to argue or debate that That can be a different thread if we want lol.

    GPA on trimmed books is hard to pin down but I'd say a good ballpark is 30-50% of blue.
  14. Wolvie1
    Totally understand, and I am totally aware of that, but not what I'm here asking though
  15. Wolvie1
    I appreciate that you have an opinion on this, but it's not what I'm asking. The value increase is just a side benefit of this. I'm also very familiar with GPA, go collect, restoration, trimmed books etc.
  16. Wolvie1
    Visually it looks like an 8.0-9.0 to me, so there would be quite a bit of value increase. That's cool that you don't like trimmed books, but not really what I'm asking.

    Nice! You don't have a pic do you?

    Yes, honestly it's also the potential value increase as well Not that I want to sell right now. I mainly want to solve the mystery
  20. Wolvie1
    Yes, I have a reasonable understanding of grading. In my opinion, I think that they either undergraded it (in which case I would resubmit it), or there is some hidden criteria that I am unaware of affecting its grade (i.e. a maximum grade for trimmed books). That is why I am here, to get the opinion of those more experienced then I am My comparisons are mostly from my own similarly graded CGC books, and my OK but not professional ability to grade raws.

    I've seen 9.0+'s with trimming, so I'm pretty sure it's not factored in. But I could be wrong too. Maybe it's the whole book trimming part though? I wonder if anyone else has experience with this?
  26. Wolvie1
    Yeah that's on my mind as well. That's basically why I'm here, I think that they messed up on the grade, comparing to other 6.0's, but I'm here to see if there's something that I'm missing, which could be the creasing. Definitely, but it was the first book I bought when I started recollecting and though part of the reason I collect is for investing, I'm not just in it for the money
