I only had 5 books total in my submission and this was the only UF4. (If that helps)

The difference between a 9.8 and a 9.6 is over $1000. Is it possible they have someone who switched out my nicer book (possible) 9.8 and switched it to a 9.6 thinking I wouldn’t notice or would be happy with something close? Like I said, the other 3 books I got back are absolutely mine. I compared pictures and am satisfied that they're mine. It just happens to be the most valuable book in my collection that gets changed with an inferior one. How convenient. I would think that my books would have all stayed together the whole time. How do I get my book back at the proper grade? This is so frustrating. I have been reading the boards and there are stories like this everywhere but I didnt think it would happen to me on my first submission. Any suggestions or help from a moderator?

Thanks for your thoughts. I hate that what I thought could have been a 9.8 was switched and I was given a 9.6 back. Yes, its close, but not when you check the values of the two different grades. I have some more photos of other little differences in the books but want to keep this easy to read. Thanks.

On my copy, I seem to have a white line running running just to the left of the writing while the book i received doesn’t have that. I dont think pressing a book could remove that.

And then there’s the appearance of these spine ticks that appeared on my returned copy. And I know that things can happen when you send in a book, but I really don’t think this is my book. What does everyone think? And I bet there’s absolutely nothing I can do about it?

Here is the first thing that I noticed. The space next to Thor at the edge is a different size.

So I’m new here and just got back my first submission. I took detailed photos like everyone recommended and 3 of my 4 books match up perfectly. But my UF4 looks like I got a different book back. It got a 9.6 and I was really thinking I could get a 9.8. I’m OK with the grade as long as it was for the book I sent in. I will try to put up some pictures of the book I sent in and the one I got back. I did have all the books pressed by CCS but I dont think a pressing will change things this much.

Here are the flaws I see. I don't know if pressing can help these, but it can’t hurt.

What do you think I can get here? Flaws I see are small color break on spine(in window) and another in the bottom left of cover. Small defect on bottom right of back cover but overall a pretty good book, I think.

Is this a book that can be pressed? Will it hurt it? Thanks for the help. What do you think the grade can be with/without pressing?

Thanks.
