PGM Wolverine #35 (HIGH GRADE??)

19 posts in this topic

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 :wishluck: 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?

It doesn't look like pressing will help that corner. I also think about 9.4 seems reasonable. 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.

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...

Do you think a pressing would do anything to help it out?

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.

I don't know, sorry.  I've never had a book pressed.  From what I understand though, it doesn't help things like rounded corners
