  1. I have a general question about submitting CGC-encapsulated books for signing. Do books usually come back with the same grade as submitted? I understand that they do get graded again once the case is opened and the book is signed. But how often are they down-graded, and, if they are, do you get any notes about that from CGC, or just receive a downgraded book, and a "Dem's da breaks. kid."?
  2. In the same submission, there were other books that I thought were in as good (if not better) condition that came in at 9.4. No ink blotches. So I guess I suck at grading.
  3. 2 of 2. This was part of a 2-book lot. Hadn't seen pictures of inside pages before I purchased for (probably) too much. Thanks.

  5. I agree. It really is a nice book, except for the color breaking crease. And that tear. Actually, I'm currently attempting to return the book on General Principle, as this tear was not evident from the seller's photos. Anyway, thanks.
  6. And yet... 3.5? Really? No offense, but looking for second opinions. I was hoping this one might be an 8-range after pressing, but I could be delusional here.
  7. 5.0 seems a harsh. Anyone else agree with this?
  8. Yeah, this one was a mistake. From the seller's photos, this looked like a pressable defect, but when I opened the package, I could quickly see this was a very expensive "reader" copy. Damn.
