CGC regrade 1 1

[john h ferguson]

I have an "uncanny X-Men" # 101 that was recently graded as 7.5 by CGC..The graders notes were"light creasing to cover" and light spine stress lines to cover"..This was my first submission to CGC and I think I made a mistake by not having the books cleaned and pressed before grading, maybe..could the defects listed be removed or lessened to the extent that a regrade after a C&P could bump up enough to make it worthwhile ?? (could only upload these two files with this msg)

I think 'worthwhile' is subjective.  I understand you have questions about grading and pressing, but you could help people HELP YOU answer the question of 'worthwhile' by doing the math for yourself and figuring out the grade at which the cost of pressing/cleaning/regrading (with shipping/insurance/time) becomes worth it to you. THEN people could tell you based on the pictures (you could certainly add more in future posts) if they think press and clean can help you reach the target grade for you.

Here's an example:  If it costs you $100 to press/clean/regrade/ship with a 5 month wait, and your expected price afterwards is $150 more (with a grade boost), to some people that might be worth it, to some people maybe not.  Also don't forget to use ALL the submitting fees and ALL the selling fees in your calculations.

My advice is to figure out the grade where your additional cost vs marginal profit lines converge, and then ask the public if improvements can be made to reach that grade (add more pictures too).  That will make it easiest to have people help you.

Not with images that tiny.  Can you post bigger pics? Big enough that we can make a reasonable judgment?

 I think any book that has not been cleaned or pressed has a chance of going up in grade, but there are never any guarantees. You will not be able to eliminate any of the color breaking creases that are on your comic book, but there could be other bends or creases that we cannot see in the pictures that could be fixed.  My personal opinion is that it is always worth a shot to try and get a grade bump with a big key issue. Just need to also prepare yourself for a little disappointment if the book stays the same. Let us know what you decide to do. Good luck!
