    Specifically what I am asking is if after the press, the new graders know of or work from the previous grade (regardless of it being no longer valid)? Hope that questions makes sense as that is the answer I am after. Do they know it was a 9.2 for example, or they just get a book on their table? No agenda here, other than wanting to know how the process works. Thanks.

    If an intact slab is submitted for pressing and grading, is the existing grade taken into account? Or is the book removed from the case and the process started as if it had not been graded before? Curious if the present grade is a starting point or not. Thanks.

    Yeah, and that's exactly what I did - block them as a buyer so they couldn't bid on my books. At least it was something...

    Wow, simmer down there. I am selling my late brother's collection for my family and I already feel like I've been taken advantage of and misled and am just trying to learn a little and get a fair price for the books. So PLEASE don't imply I am anything like that scumbag.

    LOL not to then resell like them. I've been told that a book that was graded would have been improved with a pressing. So I was looking into the feasibility of taking it out and having that done. There is nothing wrong with that, is there? I do now have a comic collector who is trying to help me with all of this.
  16. Atticus123
    No, it was just a feeling so sure, who knows?

    Messages. Okay I will tell you but remember I said that I (legit) am selling comics I don't know that much about. So... Spiderman 101 and a Luke Cage #1. And yes, no doubt I got burned a bit which then made seeing them re-sell for double under shady circumstances make me even madder

    I don't know, I 'conversed' with her when she was trying to buy these books and i'm thinking female. She also tried to buy the Spotlight #5 in the collection for $1,500. Thanks to a nice person on eBay, I was alerted to its value. I've since sent to CGC and it came back a 9.0

    My books weren't slabbed. They literally have been in boxes since my brother bought them. It really burned me to see what she did, especially as I am actually selling original owner books. My guess is that if buyers complain, she refunds but the percentage of ignorant folks probably makes that number low.

    The worst part is that he is a she

    I have firsthand knowledge of this unscrupulous seller as she (yes, it's a she) bought two books from me and then I saw her turn around and sell them claiming they were her father's, were never read and of a much higher grade than they were. She got twice as much for them, calling one NM when it was probably an 8.5 book. Her pictures did not show any of the flaws, as mine did. I could not help but message her and 'call her out' but of course she denied it was the same book. I very much wonder what happened when the buyer who paid $1,500 for a book expecting it to be a 9.4 or higher received it. NOTE that she used to be Diamond Comics and is now Polished Gem or whatever but that's not suspicious now, is it? And let me add that I am selling books owned by a family member - for real - and it was easy to likely also take advantage of me as this is not my area.

    How do I safely open a case to remove a comic?

    The grade is in -- 8.5. Wondering if I should have gotten it pressed. Here are the grader's notes. Seems like maybe two of them could've been fixed or improved by a press? light writing indent center of front coversmall, multiple crease full top of back coverspine stress lines breaks colorvery light wear full bottom of front cover breaks color
