Zordar Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) I've had this book since the 90s and had it graded in 2001. As such, I don't think it's ever been pressed. I don't know that it would benefit. CGC notes say: "Center Spine Small Stress Lines Breaks Color Front Cover Lite Multiple Finger Bends" Do the stress lines disqualify a 9.8? 4/26/19 See my last post.

Bomber-Bob Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 That's a gorgeous book. I suspect it does have a shot at 9.8. I suggest you send it to CGC, in the slab, and ask for a review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joosh Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I’ve got a modern with the same spine tick. It’s a 9.8. I can post a photo later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCheli Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I think it's a worthwhile risk. It's not going to go down, and the added worth of a 9.8 is significantly greater than the lost cost of regrading/pressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not going to go down, and the added worth of a 9.8 is significantly greater than the lost cost of regrading/pressing. Isn't going down a possibility, though? I've read of pages going from white to W/OW in the case. There is also the subjectivity of the grader to take into account. I'll probably do it though, unless I get a good trade offer at the next comicon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zordar Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Well, went ahead and resubmitted. Got a screening first, for benefit of pressing. CCS approved of the pressing. And this is what it got! Super happy with the results! Tiny crease doesn't disqualify a 9.8.

Robert_L Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I always thought practically any crease would hold it back from a 9.8. This is good to know. Congrats on the upgrade too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
