Thoughts on regrading older slabs 2 2

[Cornelius The First]

I’ve never turned in a slab for a regrade, I have a 9.2 X-Men 94 that to me looks to be a 9.4 maybe a 9.6 if I’m lucky. However, I can also see the justification of a 9.2...that being said this was graded in 2006 and I’m curious as to what people think on the grading standards within different timelines, as I’ve read some differing ideas. I also know that it’s difficult to tell in the slab, but I’ve added some pictures for more possible clarity.

Nice Kane-Cockrum full box. That is often miscut on many copies 

[Cornelius The First]

Appreciate it! Still weighing the options, I’d hate for it to come back less than 9.2

2006 was a year of tight grading, I love all the CGC books that I did purchase that were graded during that period.

That being said, if you want to keep it, why resubmit? Unless you want to sell it I would say leave it like that (and you probably will avoid those Newton rings anyway).

It's a 9.2. It's a fair grade.

9.2...don't waste your money. Take that money and grade a book you've been holding on to! That old case is clean!!

That color breaking wear on the top spine and top right corner, along with the color breaking spine stress lines on the front cover are probably why it received a 9.2. If you had the grader notes, there may be something else that's tough to see in the holder that contributed to the grade. This is a very nice copy that you should be happy to own---a strong 9.2.

It’s a shoot.  It depends on whether or not it’s worth the extra investment, whether it’s for resale or your personal collection.  I can see this copy being a 9.2...a 9.4 might be a stretch.  IMO.

Try to remember too that children all over the world will go to bed tonight without owning an X-Men 94 9.2. Count your blessings.

keep as is and count your blessings

Hmm, I see 9.4 potential. It’s definitely a 9.2 though, no way it’s coming back lower. Barring something happening to it in transit.

I recently watched a Youtube video were the guy would crack these cases open and showed you how. What shocked me was that CGC does not heat seal the comics anymore but just places mylites on the front and back, what gets me is will thee last as long?

Looks-correctly graded to these eyes an I’m no MattMurdock

Appreciate all the feedback everyone! I’m going to keep it for my collection and very likely won’t re-sub. It’s cool to have some older graded books and hey, as was mentioned, owning a white pages clean 9.2 X-Men 94 is nothing to whine about. Thanks again everyone.

Beautiful book. Looks like a 9.2 to me.
