Will Graders Notes Change with a Press? 0

[battlepark]

I have a book that is already graded as a 9.8. 

The graders notes say:

"very light bends to cover
very light spine stress lines to cover"

I can see them, they don't break color, if I sent this in to CGC for pressing, would they take these grader notes away?

 

Thank you,

Please pardon my ignorance, but why would you be sending a book that already is a 9.8 in for a pressing?

2 reasons, resale if/when I do, someone might look at the notes as a negative.

Also I am worried that if I send it to get signed by another artist, would another grader knock it down to a 9.6

I don't think the first concern really is an issue. 

The second is more likely to happen out of the two. When was the book initially graded?

[battlepark]

it was graded about 5 years ago, and signed by Stan Lee.

Then I sent it to get signed by Frank Miller  

Want Klaus Jansen to sign it someday, obviously it is a Daredevil book

A scan would help in making a determination, but CGC is grading MUCH tighter today then they were 5 years ago. Even with a press you may run the risk of the book getting downgraded.

Only the person who submitted the book can see the grading notes. So the irony here is that no buyer would've ever seen those notes if you hadn't posted them here 

I believe they can be purchased.

I should add, it would be ridiculous to have this book pressed.

It's pretty amazing that your 9.8 book has any grading notes at all. And the original notes are usually left intact, but graders can enter additional information if necessary...

Welcome to the board.  I don't see any problems with your 9.8 book.   The majority of the boards here are comic book and grading experts.   We do not take words kindly but pictures will give us the better determination to answer your question.

FYI, it's normal for CGC graders do not give notes if the books are graded 9.8.

I think it odd that there are grader's notes for a 9.8.  I've never seen graders notes above a 9.4.  Something doesn't add up...

[comicdonna]

I have only submitted 1 modern.  It came back a 9.6 with graders notes.  It was a key book, and had to be submitted under a higher tier.  I think that  is what makes the difference between notes and no notes on HG moderns.

so basically i am crazy to get this press, unless i decide to get another signature and just want to be safe?

I had 2 9.8s come back 9.6s after the Frank Miller signing

I would suggest sending in raw books to get signed, instead of cracking out 9.8's in the hope that they retain their grade. There are too many factors working against you. The tale of a grade going down after a signature, is a tale told often on the boards.

That's what I think.

Every single book graded below 9.8 should have graders notes. Something. A short sentence explaining its defects. Insanity that this isn’t the standard
