Randall Dowling Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 The only thing you can say about an old label CGC book is that it probably hasn't been CPR'd multiple times. Probably only once. I say crack it out, press it, clean it, put it through the ringer. See if a staple pops through the cover and you turn that 8.0 to a 6.5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking of having it cracked open to press and clean it and reslab it at CGC. I checked, there is a 200-300$ difference between a 8.0 and 8.5. Is it true that CGC used to grade their books more tight or is that a rumour ? If you have done this before, please share your experience/result on this thread. Thanks ! Ps. Sorry. I don't have better pics yet so I have no idea if the book was pressed/cleaned but probably not with an old slab. I love this book so much. I have the statue of it. I would love to get a beauty like the one you picked up to display with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Master Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I recommend you don't do it, the old label is much more valuable and you should keep it on. It's not worth it in my opinion. Keys_Collector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go as far as saying the grading may have been more consistent back then because there were fewer graders. But I've been comparing my grades with CGC's for 20 years and I personally don't see much difference... KCOComics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
