Thats what I was trying to figure out. Weather or not it would change anything in a major way. I have some old Comics some kid wrote a name or numbers on with a pen way back. I was not to worried on those. Kinda gives them real life character regardless if it affects the final grade. Thank You Both.

I have a few questions before I send this first set of 10 comics in. I have some comics that are signed. I was there when some were signed, a few others I bought signed trusting the seller. No cert card, picture with say the Artist, or anything like that. Should I send those comics in as a separate group vs doing it with unsigned books? I know there is a signature series. I have not seen a Verify signature choice, unless its the Pedigree box that needs checked. Most of these are not verifiable except by doing a signature comparison. Or, are they more a keep sake with a signature since I can not verify them? I just don't want to spend the money and mix one or two (unverified) signed books in with a basic grading order. Mess up how I was suppose to initially submit them with a signature. My last question, If it has a signature that turns out to not be legit, do you still slab them on a small order?

I finally decided to start getting some of my better comics graded vs buying graded books. With that said, I have been ripped a few times with the old cases. Some people were good at popping them open. Throw a 8.5 or 9 book in it and sell it as the 9.6. It was obvious when I received it something was wrong. Then I learned from the guy at the Vintage store what some people were doing. Send the good book in and get a 9.6 grade with a new slab. These new cases are supposedly harder to do that with.

I have a quick question. Only need a few basic replies and I should be good. I have purchased a lot of Graded comics over the years. I have purchased a few that were graded restoration ones. I myself have never had an account with CGC until it was a birthday gift from a family member.
My question: If I mail in a book thats older with issues and I have it cleaned, maybe an 8 up front. Does the comic get a higher grade and does it came back listed as restored? I would like to keep the lovingly read look from years ago but, lift some of the grime and misc stuff off. If that makes sense.
Is it really a 9.6? I Bought the notes. Notes only say that there is a slight crease on the top left back cover ( which there is). 1) Top right blunted and bent. 2) Whole right side of comic looks trimmed. 3) Bottom left corner of spine ripped.

There are videos online of people showing how to pop open the old cases.
