Jokingly, send it back to PGX and see if it gets the same designation.

Book was as described until the slab was removed

That is very true but ultimately proven false. In my opinion, the seller, while innocent in the knowledge of the trimmed book is last owner of the book before this revelation. The buyer certainly did not expect to be purchasing a trimmed book.

It was a pgx graded xxx which buyer (generalizing) received so buyer received what he/she paid for. Once buyer removes the slab then ebay would be on seller's side if buyer opens a not as describe case.

That certain sellers might accommodate a claim after a book turns up restored is a different story

Is it possible that CBCS is wrong?

Thought there might be professional reciprocation with sig verifiers. Perhaps with others but not between CBCS and JSA.

To be honest...it's not good practice for one authentication company to accept another authentication company's opinion on this type of stuff. CBCS wouldn't accept CGCs grade for a book or vice versa....they would and should independently evaluate the object in question.

I asked the seller before bidding if he bought the book graded or not and he said he did, so presumably he didn't know about any missed restoration.

Sorry to hear. Out of curiosity - Do you know when was the book was graded by PGX?
