| Just hit my grading desk. Came in in the pgx holder for possible press and for grading. We did not press, too fragile. Graded by pgx unrestored 7.0 white pages. I could see the color touch through the holder! CBCS grade: 5.5 RESTORED Off-White to White pages. Here's the photos:   |

| It presents nicely for a 5.5 but no way is it a 7.0! What a disappointment for the submitter. Of course, I'd take that X-Men #1 in a heartbeat! | ||

| What a hunk of sh!t. You were generous with a 5.5, more of a 4.5 to me. | ||

| I've resubmitted three PGX books in the last few years, two to Sarasota and one to CBCS. They've all come back between one and three points lower than the original PGX grade. It's about what I expected, nobody should really be surprised. | ||

| @sborock to be fair - this from the period (2013) where I would not buy from as there are so many cases of restored books not being identified. I do feel though that they have upped their game in last couple of years | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by poka @poka In the years before CBCS I used PGX quite a bit as an alternative to CGC. But I got a bad feeling about their integrity, probably around the 2012 period that you mention. I will buy some PGX slabbed books from their earliest years but I would never submit now based on the tarnished reputation. A couple of sincere questions: would you say that their rough period was a result of corruption...or just ineptness? Also, what has changed internally there to help restore your confidence? Is there a different head grader? Different ownership? |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia Honestly - I don't know - there are plenty of stories on the web that certain people were able to submit restored books and get them graded without the restoration was disclosed. I have never submitted to PGX but I do find that the grades from the last couple of years are a lot closer to CGC/CBCS than it used to be and I don't hear the same horror stories about restorations either. Would I submit to PGX - no would I buy PGX - yes if from recent years and at a 1-2 grade discount |
