    Even if the question was in the correct forum, it is much too difficult to answer.

    I recomend using https://collectinsure.com/what-we-insure . It will only be necessary to list expensive books. Good company.

    It's possible that the book was recently graded enough that it has not been loaded onto the system yet.

    Is there a chance your LCS left it in it's original slab and you can stop the process. I undesrtand you only wanted to rehold. The LCS should not have removed before submission. I wish your luck on this.
  5. Bomber-Bob
    Unless things have changed, if you submit books in a 9.8 prescreen, the books that don't make 9.8 get sent back to you not graded.
  6. Bomber-Bob
    Your comment will probably not get acknowledged but I think you are spot on correct. If your book is not pressed, and you have no intention of selling it, then leave it alone. Something else that doesn't get brought up is often the pressed book will revert.

    Jeff is quick and reliable, a pleasure to work with. Jeff is a big comic fan and a lot of fun to talk with. I sold a few comics to him and everything went smooth. A++++ for me !
  8. Bomber-Bob
    I concur with your answer. You are correct !
  9. Bomber-Bob
    Yes, send the book back. No need to try and figure out what happened to it. That book is damaged, it's not a 10.0 and it will never be a 10.0 again. Do it now. Good luck !

    You have to remember that submissions are not processed in the order received. Higher priority is processed first. Your suggestion about 'slowing the train down' would never be considered. If you submit using Economy, you get no priority.

    Even if the book gets a 9.8 from CGC, the current value is only worth 50 bucks.
  12. Bomber-Bob
    I think a regular clean and press will never try and remove a hand written date. You should really contact CGC/CCP to discuss the situation.
  13. Bomber-Bob
    I agree ! It makes no sense to try and remove that pencil mark. It will not improve the grade.

    I had multiple comics of silver age comics with date stamps that received 9.8 . As long as they were stamped neatly and present well, 9.8's are fine. The stamps should also not get smeared by an over aggressive heat press. Smearing the date stamp, in my opinion, ruins the book.
  15. Bomber-Bob
    CGC covers your books for the amount you specified on your submission form. If you under declared the value, the onus is on you.

    In the 8.0 range, I don't think the sticker will have much impact on the CGC grade. Assuming the sticker has been on it for probably 50 years, I would not try to remove it. There's too much chance of damage. Removing the sticker would be very apparent and probably make the grade worse.

    There's a lot of slabbed copies of that specific Pope John Paul copy. I think I got A 9.6 copy from early CGC days.
  18. Bomber-Bob
    I don't think it's easy to answer your question. Grading is not a pure mathematical formula. Depending on the back cover problem, you may get a 9.4 or 9.6 . It's even possible to maintain a 9.8. If you show us a pick of the Back Cover it would help.

    Here is a list of my DC Universe collection. Most are in top shape and mostly 9.6/9.8 candidates. Some of them are the more difficult to find but who knows. While not officially up for sale if anyone is interested in the lot shoot me a PM.
  20. Bomber-Bob
    That's a cool book. It looks like it is high grade shape already. I would not chance pressing it and removing or hurting the error foil .
  21. Bomber-Bob
    Outstanding collection of Big Apple books.
  22. Bomber-Bob
    Did you get your book pressed ? Unfortunately, pressing an old book can cause detachment. As mentioned by boatfund, you really have to show us some pics of the details. A cover can be detached at one staple, both staples, or better yet 'half' of one staple. This is where the single staple is attached at the front and detached at the back or vise versa.

    Key Issues

    Bomber-Bob replied to Yad's topic in CGC Registry

    Sorry but I not only feel like your pricing question was asked in the wrong thread, I also don't think we advise on pricing here either. I realize signed slabs are more difficult to price. You have some nice books. I would put them up for sale on auction. Let the market place determine the pricing.
  24. Bomber-Bob
    I believe a big factor to all this is the grading tier you used. Your submission cue may get bumped back if others submit large quantities into higher cues.
  25. Bomber-Bob
    How about this example, slabbed as a 1.0 .
