If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8. xkonk private msg quote post Address this user
I got a couple of books back today. They were originally graded by PGX (by someone else); I sent them to CBCS to press and grade. The NM98 was a 9.4 and X-Men 94 was an 8.5.




I sent them with press screen, so presumably they were lower than CBCS' 9.2 and 8 when they cracked the PGX holder. They had to be pressed to get to the 9.2 and 8, still lower than PGX's original grade. Is there a community-approved name for that? If not, I suggest 'The PGX Special'.

On the topic of TATs, CBCS got the order on Dec 26, with press screen and quick press got that done in about three weeks, then thanks to my 2 Day Modern coupons turned around the grading and shipped it in a week. I'm pretty happy.

@xkonk you bought a pgx 9.4 and it came back 9.2. Pretty sweet deal. Assuming you paid pgx price

What the King says. If you cross grade, you increase the chance of the grades going in a direction you don't want. Taking PGX books, pressing them and having them only drop one half grade is a success, not a failure.

And this can happen going from CGC to CBCS and vice versa. Heck, you can get different grades on the same book going to the same company a year later.

Yeah, I'm not upset per se. With the press and regrade the NM is probably a little underwater (I bought it not too long after Deadpool 2 came out) but definitely ahead on the X-Men. It's more that it seems a little too stereotypical, I guess.

Not surprised. PGX has always been a pile of dung.
