AltBriggs Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I want to send out my first batch of comics to get graded soon, and I was thinking of getting these two graded; however, I’m not sure that it would be worth it considering the deep spine ticks on issue 1. It looks a lot worse in the photo than it does in reality, but still. I think I’d be hard-pressed to get a 9.0 What do you guys think? Worth it for investment purposes even still?

Welcome to the boards! The first book could do good with a press. The signature on the #2 would Make the book not worth slabbing . good luck. CGC offers pressing as well as many people here.

If you don’t mind me asking, why would the signature not make it worth slabbing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it was not witnessed and would get a qualified green label of death. Joey post worked wonders on my saga 1 that had a very deep backcover crease. Got a 9.6. He’s an amazing presser.

Never really thought of it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any signature not personally witnessed by one of CGC’s representatives is treated as a defect and placed in the green label of death holder. I’m not entirely sure but It maybe possible to ask for a universal blue label with a deduction to the final grade. paul747 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only exceptions to this are old inside cover signatures and they still do not get verified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
