Bottom staple looks a little off to me, but that could be manufacturing issue and ignored?  Top corner and along the spine on the back below the top corner looks like some color wear (white).

I think it is really risky and you would be better off selling it as is and either grabbing one CGC on BIN for a little more or bid sniping one if you are patient enough.

Pretty sure that's how the bottom staple is on most copies. Just compared it with some CGC graded copies on eBay.

Here is a CBCS that sold 2 months ago in 9.8 for $1650.

My point is why risk the drop. Sell it and pay the uncharge for the CGC 9.8. Personally, though I buy mostly CGC books I think CBCS are on par and have no problem picking one up if the price is right or it is a scarce book to get like my CBCS ASM 114.

I might go this route if most folks think it won't come back a CGC 9.8. Just posted some more pics with better lighting.

And if it comes back a CGC 9.6 what can you get for it?

Probably $300 less than what I paid... ugh.

Sell it and buy a CGC 9.8 if that's what you want. Selling a CBCS 9.8 versus coming back a CGC 9.6 will not net the same amount of money. I have a CBCS ASM 129 9.6 and it looks great, every bit as nice as my CGC 9.6's. If I ever plan on getting a CGC version then I will buy one and sell this as is. 

That's an option but I'd probably only get around $1800 if I'm lucky and that's before ebay fees.

Read through this thread to see if you want to submit a PGX book to CGC based on others results.

Seems like most graded comics from CBCS come out graded the same if not better?

I would recommend, much like the others, to leave it as is.  You have invested quite a bit into it already and the possibility of dropping to a 9.6 is definitely there.  So you have to ask your self (in the best Dirty Harry voice) "Do I feel lucky?  Well do ya punk?"

I do feel lucky. It looks like a legit 9.8 to me but what do I know? I really want a CGC 9.8 graded BA 12 to add to my collection.

Question, should I have it pressed  by CGC or leave as is when I send it in?

It was graded through CBCS.

Will your decision to cross-submit be based on increasing the market value and desirability by converting it from a CBCS 9.8 to a CGC 9.8? Or because your personal collecting preference is to have this book or all your books in a CGC slab?

If it's reason 1, in at $1350, leave it alone. If it returns 9.6, you take a sizable hit, and CBCS to CGC, the odds are against you, IMO. If it's the latter reason, and you won't fully enjoy ownership unless CGC 9.8 graded, take the shot, although IMO, the majority of CBCS 9.8s are not up to par with CGC 9.8s on a whole.

 

Reason #2. I’ll try and take pics with better lighting today. Most notably of the spine and corners.

I would give it a shot if I were you

You think? I paid about $1350 for it so I’d be bummed if it came back as a 9.6.

It’s a 9.8 from CBCS. That scrape is definitely the case.

Wondering if I should submit this to CGC. Hoping for a 9.8. Thoughts?

Going to purchase a 1st appearance of Hellboy, Marvel Now Point 1 and a Malibu Sun 13 cgc 9.8 which is rare. It’s also signed by Todd. Love me some Spawn.

Multiple copies of SDCC #2

What’s SDCC?

So I have 2 grand to spend and would like to know your opinions on which book/s I should purchase. Must be in cgc 9.8 condition of course. Thanks folks!
