Sky1 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Just curious what people's thoughts are on this. If you have a very valuable 9.9 or 10.0 book, would you ever have it re-holdered...like ever? Is it worth the risk or is it just better to leave it in the original case indefinitely? Anyone have any experience with this? How'd it go? Also, anyone else notice with 9.9 labels that the part with the grade is very faded? Any reason for that? Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all! It's "gold" ink....only used with 9.9s and 10s. Sadly, it looks more like faded black. Sky1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grendel72 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Reholdering doesn't affect the grade. So long you send the book in its cgc casing intact, all cgc does is reholder the book in a new case with the same grade. Sky1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny to me. Really wish I can see it tho. Thanks for letting me know, I've been wondering this for the longest. 13 minutes ago, Grendel72 said: Reholdering doesn't affect the grade.

I thought I read somewhere a very long time ago that they do re-grade the book even with a re-holder, but that's really good to hear (and comforting).

IF the slab submitted for reholdering is broken or compromised in a way that might have damaged the book they MIGHT regrade it, but those are pretty rare circumstances. newshane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregwynn Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Saw where someone sent a killing joke 9.9 in for reholder and it came back 9.8....so they are looked at. I don't think I would ever do it personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between shipping, handling, cracking the book out of the case, new encapsulation, stuff can happen. Even a fingerprint will lower the grade. It is not worth the risk.

Sky1 Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 Thanks all for the responses! Sadly, I am left with the same mixed feelings I had on wither to re-holder a 9.9/10 book. Getting some mixed but nice feedback. If they simply don't bother looking at it & just re-case it, then it wouldn't be an issue. Bomber-Bob brought up a good point, between shipping & cracking, anything can happen (like the person who mentioned a 9.9 killing joke coming back a 9.8). Hopefully a few more people will speak up on wither they would do it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully a few more people will speak up on wither they would do it or not. I would not crack it. I do not believe in a book being a 9.9-10 and the fact that it would in all likelihood come back a 9.8 tells me neither does CGC. I would love to hear of someone doing it and sending the book back in raw and it coming back the same 9.9-10. In my opinion its just bragging rights to have the "best" copy. I mean its not even a half grade between a 9.8 and 9.9. What dictates that .1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadripoorNights Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I had a 9.9 in a cracked case reholdered with no issue. As mentioned above, just make sure the inner well isn't compromised or that the book has been damaged. I think if CGC has a reason to re-grade they will, but if everything looks intact they just assign the same grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not A Clone Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I haven't had this problem to consider. I thought 9.9-10.0 was a myth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
