I know the census shows totals graded per comic, it makes sense there would be an estimated grand total somewhere. 

I say estimated, due to people resubbing AND not sending in old labels or just cracking it out period. :foryou:

Just ask @valiantman: http://www.cgcdata.com/cgc/

Current numbers (May 15, 2018) for the CGC Census:  http://www.cgcdata.com/cgc/totals/

3,146,016 Universal

587,494 Signature

37,687 Qualified

35,858 Restored

3,807,055 TOTAL

These CGCdata.com numbers are for the public CGC Census totals, but each time that CGC reports how many comics they have graded they also include the numbers for books that have been reported to them as deslabbed.  Those deslabbed books reported back to CGC are removed from the CGC Census, but they are included in their answer for "how many books has CGC graded?"

Wow. Nice to know they take off reported deslabbed books. Which makes me wonder--is there any way to find out what the most re-graded individual book is? (Not title or issue...specific physical book that's been resubmitted the most.)

Nope.  The CGC data that's available is anonymous - total counts by grade, etc.  There's nothing in the census about a particular CGC serial number and nothing about particular copies (such as Edgar Church notation).  The graders at CGC might laugh when they see "that same book again"... but they haven't shared that info.  My guess is that most deslabbing is not reported to CGC, so when the CGC census says that there are 100 CGC slabbed copies of something, that's probably too high.  It might be 98 slabbed copies and 2 deslabbed copies that didn't get reported to CGC.  The CGC Census is always the "or fewer" number.  If the CGC Census says there are currently 100, it's always 100 slabs or fewer.

Yeah, that's what I figured. If there was a way to find out, there would be eBay sales listing books as the most resubmitted XYZ, because somehow, some people would consider it a positive thing...

They have close ties to the oil industry as all CGC cases are made of petroleum products. 

Do you see something wrong with that ?

587,493 of those are Stan Lee

It's a good joke, often repeated, but I actually ran the numbers and even if we pretend every signature is a Stan Lee signature, there aren't any Marvel comics from before year 2000 that have more signed slabs than universal slabs.  After Stan dies, there won't be any more signature series added.  In other words, people who say "I'd rather have an unsigned copy because Stan has signed too many" aren't actually talking about the majority of copies.  The majority of copies are still (and will always be) unsigned.

Almost 4 million petro products befouling our precious environment?   :whatthe:    I had no idea that the number was more than a bushel and a peck. :grin:

 

I wonder if the EPA is aware of this?  hm           :idea:         :devil:       :whistle:
