  1. Regarding the grade being lowered, someone said that in their personal experience it was 25% rate of lower grade. But the truth is, be it 50% or 3%, that means the same thing: it ain't perfect and that person with the lower grade could be you. So the real question is, are you ok with getting a lower grade?
  2. I disagree. It's not a rare book, nor is it a key, and there are a bunch that are graded 9.8. I dont see this book going up in value much in the coming years.
  3. With a crease that big it would have been the same regardless so all you lost was the cost of pressing.
  4. It would only help if one knew the story behind it, which isn't the case here.
  5. While some pedigrees are made up of file copies, no one equates those two things as one and the same.
  6. Do you need a certificate? I ask because I see some pedigree books floating around that don't come with one. Sure, the D copies are a bit obvious, as are the Eldon ones, but will CGC take care of autentifying or does the responsibility of that fall on you?
  7. He sells overgraded books along with errored slabbed books which are restored but not in a purple label.
  8. Just wonky prodution cut. Trimming is extreamly rare in comics of that era.
  9. Just to understand better, you wanted them to restore a new mutants 98?
  10. Because you have not 1 but 2 major issues going against it in a market with tons of non restored copies. So this can be one of those books passed from owner to owner wishing it to be someone else's problem, never really going up in value. Whatever you are thinking of soending on it, you'd be way better served depending that on a blue label book since the market for that is much more consistent with momentum and value increase/preservation.
  11. You mean in terms of cgc not putting anything on the label? That's pretty understandable since those are rather new books compared to Superboy 0, the example I started the thread with.
  12. No, that's not how to do it since you may end up undervaluing or overvaluing books. The best you can do is look at the GPA for each individual book to see what others have sold for in different grades and then apply that ratio to the grade you have.
  13. The easiest way to sell them with doing the least work possible is to send them to Mycomicshop.com. If you want to sell them yourself then you'll have to scan em.
  14. Not a grail per se but more of a white whale. After 10 years of searching, I finally found an affordable copy of what some claim to be the rarest issue of detective comics. I don't think that's really true, but it still took me 10 years to find it.
  15. Alright, well keep that in mind since the different tiers and comic values will come into play when you send in comics that are either worth above $200 or from before the modern era, like your SA spideys and you won't be able to get that same low grading price.
