So this Heritage auction win just arrived and I wanted to share. When I bid on it, my intension was to have it re-slabbed and be happy with the 8.5. Upon receiving it I see a clean and press could help the book. My question is this, can I get this book cleaned and pressed by CGC and still keep the 8.5? Or does having it cleaned and pressed mean I have to have it regraded? Thanks. |

Pretty sure that means a regrade. | ||

Definitely regraded. That's your purpose, after all. | ||

Actually my purpose was have it re-slabbed and have it present better with a clean and press. My worry is it regrades at an 8.0. | ||

If cleaned and pressed properly, I don't see this book going down in grade. There is a lot of dirt on the back cover that will clean off nicely. | ||

You could just go for the reholder if you don't want to chance the grade drop. No one knows the grading criteria, so it could get a bump. Or it could go down. I don't know how it works at that place anymore. | ||

Yeah, unfortunately, if you have them clean & press it, they have to regrade it. Have you purchased the Grader’s notes? It’s probably worth the $10-$15 to see if there are additional pressable defects. | ||

Thank 00slim, no I haven't bought the grader's notes. Is that the cost? I thought it was $5 bucks. Another reason I'm on the CBCS chat site! | ||

I showed my wife and she was so happy for me she started to cry. | Batman66 private msg quote post Address this user | |
@Doc_Cop awesome, I love that book. I was fortunate enough to sell some of my more expensive non key books and buy a 9.6 graded. I have a few of the first generation cgc labels that I know would get a grade bump but I would rather keep them as they are. I to me it's like the simplicity of the art in the golden age books, it has that nostalgic feel. Great pick up | ||

@Doc_Cop I think it’s slightly higher for pricey books. I could be wrong. | ||

Batman66 thanks for the advice, I may consider. Very jealous you have a 9.6! Next grail is still an Iron man 1 7.5 or better, must have white pages. Wish me luck. | ||

it's an old holder so notes may not exist. | ||

@the420bandito Same could be said about new holders. I have a 9.2 amazing Spider-man 194 with no notes. |

Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC? | Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user | |
@Doc_Cop I bought one of those off the stand a few decades ago....well, keep in mind a said a few not several decades ago, it was the second print. You have a very nice pick up there. Congrats and best wishes on the press, clean and regrade and hoping you score a 9.something. |

I don't believe this....and I know you don't care that I don't believe this. | GAC private msg quote post Address this user | |
@Doc_Cop Being an older label and seeing how CGC is grading these days, a Press and Clean will almost guarantee a grade bump....almost guarantee. | ||

I actually think CBCS is stricter graders, so no. | ||
