    Understood. In which case, since these are all modern cards is it possible to send them back after (say they get a 8) and request an "AU" grade? Would I need to crack? Can AU be requested in lieu of a grade? My objective isn't to conceal the damage (some are 1/1), but encapsulate and present.

    "Low ball" collecting definitely a thing with coins. I can see the appeal of having a .5 on some books.

    Hi, I had a couple of serialized cards but they're not all mint. Is it possible for me to request a minimum grade (i.e. 9 or above) and if they fail the condition have them just labeled as "authentic"? If they are below 9, a grade would just detract from the appearance. Would save me the trouble of resubmitting them. Thanks

    It's definitely a gamble. I've had stuff get damaged from grading/reholders, but not pressing (yet).

    Had it happen a couple times (9.8 -> 9.6). Both managed to bump back to 9.8 after sending for a second press + regrade. If it bothers you, take the gamble.

    Some wiggle is considered normal. If it's sliding enough to damage the book, definitely email them.

    Mis-remembered. Some were done in car shop waiting room. It's impressive how they send them home with books and they keep the grade!

    Remark from Frank Cho! They did give me a scan on this one. @ADAMANTIUM I'd also seen this one on IG, think he said he did it in a waiting room.

    No better way to learn, than lose $40-70 and get an 8.0. Becoming a regular occurrence for me too. With them changing threshold for 1099s, still extra paperwork even if you sell at loss.

    It's definitely gone up in price (maybe possibly manipulation). I don't think I'll ever be able to get another. Sabine being French, was the most fitting to send. Think you've got #7 with Odessa on the couch.

    Back from the Sabine Rich signing. Absolutely worth the gamble! @ADAMANTIUM

    I don't see the scan. Maybe I'm blind. https://www.cgccomics.com/certlookup/4320853001/ That said, I did notice the signature from Campbell (in my sig) lines up perfectly with the one she posted on IG.

    Frank Cho remarque / Nakayama signing went to GEI today. I don't usually pay for imaging, did they start including it free? She posted one on Instagram while NYCC was happening. Assuming it was mine, I think I already saw it.
