    Fyi some of them say "special edition" on the back and some of them don't
  2. Wolvie1
    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?
  3. 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.
  8. Wolvie1
    Totally understand, and I am totally aware of that, but not what I'm here asking though
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Wolvie1
    Nice! You don't have a pic do you?
  12. Wolvie1
    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
  13. 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?
  15. 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
  16. Wolvie1
    Wow, lucky for you as the buyer though
  17. Wolvie1
    Interesting. Do back cover creases usually downgrade a book so much though?
  18. Wolvie1
    I'm pretty sure that the trimming will not affect the apparent grade, so if it look like a 9.0, it should get a 9.0.
  19. Wolvie1
    Yes, the apparent grade of it is important to me. I personally am completely OK with restored books.
  20. Wolvie1
    Thanks for your reply! The pressing thing I kind of just added in while writing, I've had this book for a few years, and every time I look at it I'm like "damn, how is this only a 6.0? Did they under grade it or what". So I've got that re-grading itch.. Based on the pictures and notes, would you agree with that grade?

    Hello all I have this CGC graded (restored) 6.0 FF5. Here are the graders notes: Restoration includes: small amount of color touch on cover. (ALL 3 EDGES TRIMMED) Color touch (Non-archival material small areas) Spine C-1 Full Bottom Whole Book TRIMMED Full Left Back Cover Large Crease Full Right Whole Book TRIMMED Full Top Whole Book TRIMMED Left Top Back Cover Multiple Crease Spine Lite Stress Lines What do the experts think about sending it in for pressing and regrading? I'm pretty sure there's no max label for trimmed books. Is there something that's holding it back from a higher apparent (8.0-9.0 ish) restored grade? I know that everyone says this but it looks much better to me. Thanks! P.S. Great forums you guys have here, so much useful information.

    oh my bad i re read his comment that he wanted to add white out, i was speaking to the original ink
  23. Wolvie1
    Isn't there some thing where if the ink etc wasn't intended to and doesn't increase the grade of the book they may ignore it and just grade it as a fault but not resto? He clearly wasn't putting the white out on there to "fix" the book

    I have a CGC graded Preacher #1 (9.8) that has this along the entire spine! I'm guessing that's because they consider it a manufacturing defect? Crazy..
