    9 of my last 13 CGC submissions had grades I was roughly expecting, and the other 4 were totally hosed by the grader. For one of the hosed shipments I re-subbed 6 books that were originally graded with four 9.2s and two 9.4s, and with no addition press or anything the second time through there were three 9.6s and three 9.8s. 

    So about a quarter of the shipments were destroyed by impossibly tough grading. I figure maybe it was new graders trying to show they are tough or something like that. 

    Side question and for the peanut gallery too: when you submit for a re-grade do you crack it out yourself and just submit again or submit in the slab and have it regraded? I ask because I think it’s the former but I’m always afraid I’m going to damage the book if I crack it out myself. If it’s the latter, the paranoid spidey sense I have feels like they’ll just give it the same grade if they know what it came in with.
