I have a book I'm watching that looks like it could grade higher than the assigned grade.  Has anyone ever re-submitted and received a higher grade? If so, did you leave it in the slab or crack it and send it in raw?

I bought a Danger Girl 2 Ruby Red foil raw at the SDCC in 1998. I submitted it 20 years later without a press, plus I had it signed by J. Scott Campbell, via a CGC at the 2017 Boston Comic Con. Came back a 9.6. I asked the same question over 3 years ago and submitted it slabbed, but with a press. Came back a 9.8. I’m not guaranteeing you the same outcome, but it’s worth a try. If you don’t, you’ll always wonder, what if. 

Thanks Greggy.

I recently filled out a CGC submission form for various comic books and one particular set of books gave me a challenge. I’m hoping with your assistance I can be be pointed in the right direction. 
 

Who is the publisher for Faro’s Lounge books? Is it BoogalooCO or Bookoocomix, or something completely different? Thank you.

Good evening, everyone. Thought I'd post this, if you are not aware. Just found out about it an hour or so ago. I've included a link to the website:

I bought all of my current issues at drug stores. I passed by one on the way to and from school so afternoon stops were almost a daily occurrence. What a magical smell those old school drug stores had. 

Around the same time that I bought the 55, which would have been September of 1967, a couple of friends and I hopped the bus to a used book store somebody told me about. We were 8 years old. Anyway, this little book store, owned by a guy who looked like the Terrible Tinkerer, had second hand comics under the counter. The Tinkerer pulled out the stack for me and I walked out of there with 25 books from 1966 and 67, mostly ASM and Tales of Suspense, maybe a few FF, for the princely sum of $1.25. I know I got most of the early Romita issues, including 39 and 40, in the haul. It was a joyous moment in my life that I'll never forget.

I too bought my very first ASM Issue 260 at my local drug store back in January 1985. Later, I started to purchase from a bookstore in Rochester, MN for all my comics. At the time the cover price was .60¢.

Nice 300. I have one I want to get slab one day and mine is mint should be a 9.6 or 9.8.

Best of luck my friend. Just sent 9 AMS 700’s for pressing & grading.

These are my other recent additions.

Here you all go:

 

Just sent my 9 raw and my CGC 9.4 to be pressed/graded/regraded on Monday. Fingers crossed.

For me it’s all about #10 on the original list. That ASM 700 Ditko was such an awesome book to come out.

I couldn’t agree more. I’m actually sending in mine (9.4) to be regraded/press today, fingers crossed.

Just got them back from the CGC J. Scott Campbell signing conducted on the 20th of October.

Thank you, OSkywalker. I actually looked, via website before the books arrived. A little nervous, since the first 2 I purchased at a LCS in Texas & Arizona.

Mail Call:

Thank you, J. Scott Campbell.

This thread has been very quiet.. just wanted to post some new signed slabs and one blue label.

Congratulations Obsidian00!!! I’m curious, I take it you submitted for the Dell’otto private signing a few months back? I’m still waiting on my six books I sent in for it. Once again, congratulations.

That’s fantastic! Congratulations on the upgrade.

Excellent work! I have been searching for the right one for awhile. Yours has a good wrap and is well centered in the newest case just like I want. The book is a classic and hard to come by for the good price. 

Thank you, Summydad1. Been on my radar for a while, had to pull the trigger, since I hesitated on the last one that sold back in June.

Be hilarious if it was Frank Miller sig. Anything in the grading notes?

Could that be what brought the grade down to a 9.4?

William-James, I just looked at my submission page, via CGC and the grader notes said only this - light crease right top of front cover.  They don't mention what the name was unfortunately.

Greetings, finally arrived today. Now, I need to send in the other raw six books for grading.

Love the Sig on the 158

 

I do too! Interesting fact, I never looked through the book, which I see CGC has indicated a written name within the 1st page, no clue who's the name.

Greetings, first time on this thread, so I figured I'd display my two books from the latest CGC Private Frank Miller signing (2020):
