Thanks in advance for your input on this low grade ASM 124.

Thanks for the quick reply, Jennifer.

I have a fourth generation CGC case (2003 to 2016) with one corner that is not sealed anymore (see picture).

Is is safe to send it for reholding or it will be graded again?

Thanks

Hey guys!

Crossborder pickups will let you ship the books to them and you can pay for them to ship the books to you in Canada.

Pretty sure there are several services like this in Canada.

Has anyone tried with Shippsy, CrossBorder Pickups, etc?

Just want to let you know that I never received a reply from my email. Even after one reminder.

Thanks to all for your time

What gives this gray tone to the back cover? From my understanding, this is not foxing and not staining either. Could this be ink transfer?

Any advice about the grade is also welcome.

Thanks for your time

Thanks to all for your grade.

What is the impact on the grade just for the missing piece on the lower left corner. Thanks for your time.

Any updates? Just had a friend in Toronto have a single book of the five he sent in returned. They charged full shipping for the one. Amazing.

Unfortunately, no

I sent a reminder on September 21th. I received this reply the same day :

Has there still been no response from CGC? I understand it would cost more to send to Canada but I just sent a book to Florida and it cost me $20 Canadian. That is a far reach from $75 USD. At least give the option to ship it ground instead of air (that would save 40% or so).

Unfortunately, yes.

I will send a reminder.

I'd like to see where they say that... and even so, CGC doesn't grade that way. I've had books with minor amateur resto grade at 9.0. 

Page 234 of the 2016 edition.

They don't write this comment about minor amateur repair in the grades above 5.0. So I assumed that 4.5 is the maximum grade for a comic that shows this kind of default.

According to the Overstreet Grading Guide, a comic with minor amateur repair is a 4.5 grade.

I recently sent a nice copy of ASM #98 to CGC for grading. The grader notes specified the following :

" Restoration includes: small amount of color touch on cover. "

And I got a 4.5

yep , agree and i don't think Metro has ever under-graded a comic  , not even once

Well, I bought a MTU #19 that was graded by Metro as a 9.2, and as a 9.4 by CGC!

Most of the other comics I bought were overgraded by Metro, though.

I agree with many others that the most reliable grades are provided by MyComicShop.

Anyone else?

Thanks

The short answer is yes. 

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

In fact, many pages have creases? Can all pages be corrected or just the back and front covers

You can see pictures here

Can Marvel Graphic Novels be pressed by CGC? I want to remove a medium crease on the back cover and some interior pages.

Thanks

I have this nice copy of Marvel Graphic Novel #18. The black cover has almost no color break creases.

Unfortunately, there is a medium crease on the back cover. And this crease is on each page of the book.

The default probably occured because of an impact and was probably there when I bought this book in 1985.

My question is : Which grade could this book have since a crease is on almost each page? Around VF? Arounf F?

Thanks in advance for your insight.

Thanks

Thanks for the detailed answer.

How much for grading a modern Marvel Graphic Novels? Are they treated as comics or magazines?
