GRADE IS IN! PGM JIM 83 0

[AJCohen]

Ok so I finally found my book! Unfortunately it is wrapped in the wrong plastic. It was graded by the other company as a 4.0. My question is after seeing the photos and notes would you agree?
When I send it in to be re-slabbed would you have it pressed and cleaned hoping CCS and CGC feels like their work brought it to a 4.0?

Obviously if it stays a 4.0 I will be over the moon but am open as always to everyone’s thoughts and suggestions.

Happy Monday!

Not sure if a press will do anything, but I think that a dry clean would keep this in a 4.0 grade.

Still, a nice looking copy. I think 4.0 was reasonable...

4.0

Looks like a 4.0 to me. Not sure if a press & clean will do much, though it's hard to tell through the plastic. Great looking copy!

A clean and press won't bring this up, IMO, due to the bottom right area.

Looks like it has already been pressed

But pressing is undetectable.  

4.0 seems like a reasonable grade to me, too.

Thanks so much everyone. Now the real question is do I break it out of its case before I send it in to CGC? I just have this feeling that CGC will see the case and grade and automatically bump it down half a point. Am I being paranoid?

If they're still doing crossover service I'd 100% send it in as is & get the discount

I agree with voldy grade I think its a 4.0 can't see much help with a press or clean as its tanning that's showing really now. 

I would send it for a cross grade if they are still doing that with the discount and why chance you damaging the book in the slab when cracking it out would be my bonus point thought. 

Nice book by the way! 

[AJCohen]

Book is back! It did drop a half a point to a 3.5 in an OW after the cross grade but still extremely happy with just getting it back and in a CGC case.

Nothing presents better than CGC. Not even close. 😉

Sweet book -- congrats!

Yeah, I reckon 3.5 is spot on, maybe worth cracking and pressing though, might get a 4.0
