xNerdyThingsx Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 First time considering Trinity for a very high grade slabbed book which will need to be cracked for signing by Adam Hughes. Anyone had experience with these guys opening a book before? It’s a legit 9.8, no missed flaws by CGC. highest on census and one of 2. Should I even bother?

eee91 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I've been happy with the times I've used Trinity. They've cracked two books for me to get a second sig - both came back the same grade. But you're taking a huge risk cracking a 9.8. They could do everything perfect and a CGC grader on that day might catch something. Guess it depends on how lucky you feel.

austinhg Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I've had only good experiences with Trinity from a customer service standpoint. They seem to have a track record of fixing any mistakes they make in a timely manner too. When it comes to opening a 9.8 and getting a signature, it doesn't really matter who opens the book - there's potential that it will get a downgrade, like eee91 said. For example, I had Trinity open a 9.8 Captain Marvel #2 Photo Variant. Everything looked great in the slab (I bought it off eBay), but it still came back a 9.6. You win some, you lose some.
