slavenski Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 Book is currently slabbed by another company but I was hoping to get it regraded by CGC and hopefully get a 9.8! All thoughts are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Small tick towards back top staple with slight staining on the spine side of the back, that and the corner I'd think more 9.4, CGC tends to grade tougher than others...... so but if you already have it graded "might" not be worth regrading with cost etc......

Ooh yes, I saw that! It's currently graded a 9.8 through PGX...Would a press be worth it to try and CGC it at the same grade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Also could be the lighting but I thought it was stain near the back bottom staple.... but shoot at 9.8 prices worth a shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha! Yes...now you see my point. There is only 7 CGC 9.8! ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrapin Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 It doesn't look like pressing will help that corner. I also think about 9.4 seems reasonable. Big gamble. slavenski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big gamble. Definitely a gamble but I figure I'd gather some opinions, I will try to post better pics once I receive it. I paid about $60 for it so we shall see.

That is insane. Is this some key I don't know about. A book from the 90's I'm sure there are tons of high grade copies out there. Probably few have submitted them because it doesn't seem particular sought after and you can buy high grades raw for $10-20. What am I missing?

Not a key, most of them apparently have two or more serious spine creases and a dent on the spine from the printer. Only 7 graded at 9.8 on cgc and some of the early 9.8s probably shouldn't have graded that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slavenski Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 I'm surprised CGC hasn't just listed it as a production defect. STORMSHADOW_80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently most of them have some spine ticks near the 50 Years I don't think the corners are sharp enough for a 9.8, personally. Doesn't have the spine tick though... slavenski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slavenski Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Here's an update. I received the book and took some more pics while still in the case. I was hesitant to crack it quite yet.

STORMSHADOW_80 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Is that a fold on the corner from the last pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteppinRazor Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Looks like there's a bend on the corner in the third to last as well. It might be worth the shot, but compared to the 9.6 rejects I got back, it doesn't look good for getting a 9.8 from CGC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
