herc2000 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere, could not see any topics about it, so sorry if it has been discussed already. I was just looking on comiclink and saw a restored Detective Comics 359 CGC 9.4 that sold for $869 and then two listings below it is the exact same copy in another label graded 9.2 unrestored and sold for just over 10K! Not sure which is the older slab and sold first, but that's a lot of money if the book is restored unless one company is right over the other. Not seen such a big difference between the two companies like this, especially when there's a possible 10K difference. Gotham Kid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Are you insinuating that the... Other company's... Book could in fact be restored? That's a risk that some people may be willing to take. Me? Not for $10k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herc2000 Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Well I'm not sure if the other companies book has been put into a CGC case or vice a versa. I know a little color touch can be removed, so could a tear seal, but a trim to my knowledge can not be fixed, unless it was not trimmed to begin with of course, as it does look slightly miss cut.

chrisco37 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) I'd need to see the pic of the other "same" book. Is the CT present on the other book? I can't believe they would miss it if that was the case. It sticks out like a sore thumb in the scan above.

theCapraAegagrus Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I would hope that, if someone's going to lay down $10k for a "Universal Label" book (from any company), that they know what they're doing. I know - stupid me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story of which grading company can detect a trimmed book is the same regardless of the order in which the book was slabbed. entalmighty1, porcupine48 and oldmilwaukee6er 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttock Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I've seen a blatantly trimmed GA book in a CBCS universal holder. I notified Steve with no response. The top of that Detective sure looks trimmed to me. Gotham Kid, MrBedrock and porcupine48 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kav Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 No mention on other board. Maybe threads got trimmed when it was brought up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
