Overstreet guide - grades not listed?
Bomber-Bob replied to GlennSimpson's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
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.

Mistake in order when submitting + pre-screen
Bomber-Bob replied to migmtl76's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
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. -
Is it now the norm to always press?
Bomber-Bob replied to the blob's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
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 !

Color on top of pages
Bomber-Bob replied to GM8's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
I concur with your answer. You are correct ! -
CGC 10.0 with Corner Blemish?
Bomber-Bob replied to ucberic's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
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 ! -
CGC and CCS Timeframes
Bomber-Bob replied to This is Who We Are's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
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. -
Pencil mark removal CCS
Bomber-Bob replied to Lamborghinikid's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
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. -
Pencil mark removal CCS
Bomber-Bob replied to Lamborghinikid's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
I agree ! It makes no sense to try and remove that pencil mark. It will not improve the grade. -
Date Stamp Question
Bomber-Bob replied to APDallas's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
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. -
CGC covers your books for the amount you specified on your submission form. If you under declared the value, the onus is on you.

To remove or not a sticker on SA cover?
Bomber-Bob replied to Pantodude's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
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. -
Post your Garage Sale/Flea Market/Antique Mall Finds Here
Bomber-Bob replied to Shark's topic in Comics General
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. -
Comprehensive List of DC Universe Logo UPC Variants
Bomber-Bob replied to revat's topic in Copper Age Comic Books
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. -
Outstanding collection of Big Apple books.

What classifies a Detached cover?
Bomber-Bob replied to Huuuugh99's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
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. -
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.

CGC and CCS Timeframes
Bomber-Bob replied to This is Who We Are's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
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. -
