Please grade this TEC 359 (time sensitive) | CBCS Comics

So I don't have any kind of patience, and decided that since I got such a good deal on the book I would splurge on same day grading. Monday evening I overnighted the book to CGC, they got it this morning (Tuesday), and they graded and shipped it this same afternoon. That means I am now exactly $1,209 and 4 days into this comic ($999 + $51 FedEx + $159 grading and return shipping).

Now you may be wondering why I sent it to CGC instead of CBCS... While I slab most of the books I KEEP in my collection here at CBCS, I have learned the hard way that there are closed-minded collectors who will only buy CGC slabs. Since I planned on flipping this book, and I wanted the maximum number of potential buyers, I had to go with them.

HOWEVER, as a challenge to my fellow CBCS forum members, I will pay for CBCS to crack and regrade this book if one of you buys it (CBCS forum members only). Who wants to roll the dice?

So without further ado the grade is...

Nice book, that looks like a real score!

It's pretty much impossible to tell if a book has been trimmed without having the book in hand & laid out on a flat surface in front of you.

That would reveal color touch, that did not bleed thru the cover.

I really don't want to 'start something', but you recently said this:

I'll take a look at include that book in my BIM pricing suggestions, I will include GPA 90 Day averages on each of your slabs , along with my suggested BIN prices, and GPA of the questionable company's slab...and I'll let you know if I can see any restoration on the front/back cover of the questionable slab.

If you weren't referring to trimming in your resto check offer, how would you have checked for CT by blacklight using scans/pics?

You can see my point, right? Both statements seem to have been made with a fair amount of certainty. It sounds like you're offering to do something for someone that you're telling another can't really be done.

	I estimated "8.5 ish", and I suck at grading. I am sooo happy this worked out so well. It gives me solace that not everyone is dealing from the bottom of the deck.

	@Darkga how much are you selling it for? Do you consider 24 month averages?
