It's funny I thought for sure on some of my books they would come back 9.9 or 10.0. Nope just standard 9.8's. I would almost wager if you were to crack and resub it, it may just come back a 9.8. I'm not saying anything except it's easier to call a book a 9.8 then the elusive 9.9 or 10.0. And congrats did you sub it yourself or buy it.

I have a Batman 497 that would probably get a 9.9

I do buy some slabbed books with the intention of cracking them out if I want a decent mid grade copy to have as a reader. I usually do this if I already have higher grade slabbed copy or if it's just a book I want and don't care if I have a high grade copy, but still want the assurance of its condition.

Send it to PGX, they hand out 10.0s like Halloween candy.

Sure, but when the integrity is garbage who really cares? I bought exactly ONE PGX book that was later re-graded and got a restoration grade. There was a thread on the CGC boards about him passing along books as original and not restored. I'll never buy or use those turds again.

@sterlingcomics sorry, I was just making a joke. I would never actually recommend anyone use PGX.

Exactly. In fact, I'm sure of it. It does look great, but the odds of it getting 9.9 or better twice are unlikely.

The prospects are looking good this time around with these labels.

CPR - Crack, Press, Resubmit.

I'll only do this for damaged slabs.
