No, big time no. No one will take more time and better precaution than you, bar none. Damage can most definitely occur while removing from the slab at CGC. But in your case, you don't have a choice since you want to preserve the yellow label. For a blue book though, I would unslab it at home first. Saves on shipping too and lowers chances of shaken comic syndrome.

That's what I did for the Mark Bagley signing. Got back a 9.8 and 9.6. I was satisfied with that.

I did for the Frank Miller signing but that's because my comic was not a 9.8. So I was ok sending it. It's simple, if your comic MUST remain a 9.8 for you, then don't send it. If you are ok getting it back as a signed 9.4 then go ahead and send it.

They would buy them outright.

Consign everything that qualifies for consignment, you'll always make more.

Not worthwhile to get any graded. You can sell them in one go to mycomicshop as you had previously planned.

Often enough that people have gotten really mad and CGC now writes a big warning sign when you start the submission process. So if you are ok with it going down a grade, then send it. If it must remain 9.8, then dont send it.

Then consider yourself lucky this is only your first.

See, the OP was right. It being seen as a modern by CGC does lower it's value! Joking aside, someone on e-bay is selling it for several hundreds at the moment

Not how it works. It's 18 working days since registration into the system. Now that it's registered in the system, your countdown of the current turnaround times (which is higher than 18) can start.

Any book after 1975 is considered modern tier by CGC. So not a mistake. Also, why the hell would it be silver? That's not even a CGC tier.

No, they were trimmed to be bound. I just meant that trimming is the worst part of those books, not the actual binding (attaching) aspect

Not possible with a subscription crease, sadly. 5.5 was best case scenario, glad it worked out for op.

That's rough. Could still get 9.0 or higher though, I think.

This is normal. A new slab recieved directly from cgc could look the same.

From what I have encountered I would say at least 90% of bound books have trimming. That's your big detractor here, not what was done to have them bound.

The ones I have seen are usually sown together. There can be glue as well. Oddly, the part that pisses me off the most about bound comics is that many are also trimmed after.

Yes

WOW!!!!

Not tampered with

It's all about how much you want the book insured for . If you are ok with only getting back 300 if your book gets lost then you dont have to go for a higher tier. You wont get charged more if it ends up being higher.

No wonder that book was given away for free (that's how I got my copy)

It's the reverse, the sale numbers are a great way to showcase interest to movie investors. And they got what they wanted, now the movie has been greenlit. It was a rather smart stunt on their part. And like the old guard and a ton of other projects, most people watching wont have a clue that it even was a comic. Plus comics make great proof of concepts to producers so it's a proof of concepts that paid itself.

This one was bad too But they removed all the info, all that's left to see is this very small pic

Isn't this her first appearance?
