Joey Joey Joey.  He was asking for an 8.0.  Couldn't you have left just a smidge of dirt or a little of the creases to give him he grade he wanted?

Have him send it back.

I'm happy to report that after the pressing/cleaning work performed by @joeypost (who came recommended to me by @The Lions Den), this book received a SUBSTANTIAL upgrade....from 7.5 to.....DRUMROLL:

 

Amazing Spider-Man 50 7/67 Marvel Comics
Universal
8.5 OFF-WHITE TO WHITE
Grader Notes:
light spine stress lines breaks color
light wear all corners breaks color
very light crease left top of front cover

cbcs is typically graded higher than cgc. so a good press may bring you up to a cgc 7.0 or even 7.5 but not likely. however I have seen a few videos where people crack cbcs slabs and they come back higher by cgc. This seems to be happening more frequently by books that have been graded by cbcs in the last year. I don't know if cbcs hired an old cgc grader or what, but they seem to be closing the gap. the only problem is, 98% of buyers want that cgc label. its like, would you rather have converse or nike? there may be a few thrashers out there that go for that cbcs, but they are far and few between, and pgx is like some k-mart kicks brah. when it comes to resale, my money is these cgc jordans.

Man... that is a nice bump... and Joey is the best. A while back, I posted like you did about two books (JIM 85 and ASM 129), which folks here graded 6.5 and 7.5 pre-slabbing.

Sent them to Joey, he sent them to CGC, and they came back a 7.5 and 9.4. Ka-ching!

Congrats again... always nice to more than double your value on a book when (re) slabbing. :bigsmile:
