  1. I just received my first CGC submission back in the mail https://www.cgccomics.com/certlookup/4416353001/ And have mixed feelings. I could use a gut check/thoughts as I'm new to this! Issues: 1. There are 3 scratches on the case (Wolverine claws????) as well as a bit of scuffing - which aren't apparent in the photos. 2. Inside the case there is some crud? Trapped with the comic (which isn't in the pictures). 3. The grader notes mention: A. crease left bottom of back cover B. crease right bottom of front cover C. stain right bottom of back cover None of these creases or stains were on the book I sent in (see attached for picture of the front cover prior to sending in). Not sure when they happened but I'm not super happy. 4. Before sending in the book I noticed some small imperfections including A. A small faint dent on the top front and back cover - likely from some sort of clip and hanging on a comic shop wall for a few years. B. Some spine stress C. Some rippling D. A bit of dirt on the spider-man logo on the back cover Because of these issues I selected and paid for pressing - however all of these imperfections are still present and it doesn't look like the book was pressed at all and it likely would have also fixed some of the creasing noted by the grader. At the very least I'd like it re-slabbed due to the scratches but am wondering if it would be worth it to be re-pressed? I don't expect it to be a 9.8 but I also don't feel like I got what I paid for. Is it possible to press a signed comic? I'm also worried about it ending up in worse condition! Any thoughts would be appreciated.
