Should these comics be pressed before grading? Will any harm come to them?

WOW! Super information. Very helpful and then some. Thanks everyone!

Super informative and helpful. Thanks guys!

Another mysterious issue. Once again, I can't find any reference as to what the actual name of the magazine is or what it's potential value would be. The magazine/comic is larger than your average American magazine too. Can anyone help?

I ordered this straight from Mirage Studios in 1988. Collected hardbound with dust sleeve. I believe it collects the first 10 issues. It's numbered 575/1000 and comes with a TMNT drawing by both Eastman and Laird. I can never find any for sale or that have been sold on any website. I'm trying to estimate the value of it. Most importantly, what exactly would the book be titled as; TMNT Hardbound limited blah, blah etc.? Can anyone help?

I'm happy, trust me. I'm just looking for consistency.

It came back a 9.8 Universal. However, it just reads 'no hand stamp'. Unlike the #1 which also wasn't hand stamped, but got a different "category" as a Virgin Edition. ......so, what's the difference between them besides the issue number? Why isn't my #3 also a Virgin Edition??? Disappointed.

I have an issue number three with no hand stamped logo that I'm getting sent back to me very soon, a 9.8 grade. However, it seems, at least according to the current census that it was put in a Quality grade. I've seen other number ones not only get there own separate section as a "Virgin cover", but in a Universal slab. My question is why this issue number three is being treated completely different, ...if indeed it turns out to be true.

My comics have been with CGC for a MONTH now. STILL verified. And I paid for Fast Track as well. They said they don't offer any discounts or refunds either.................

I have Tick #1, Fugitoid #1 and Raphael one shot that I want graded. These are close to magazine size, but smaller. They are larger than a Golden age comic. Do I still submit these under the comic tier or magazine tier?

Can comics be re-graded doing this? If i had an old blue CGC label and wanted to pay to have it reslabbed to get the "new improved" blue label is there a chance of getting a lower grade by whomever does it? To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

CGC won't grade the prop comics? Ok, i'm the number 1 Heroes collector fan of comics. The only comics i'm still working on are the 9th Wonders issues put out by Uncle Burk's Fine Comics. They were prop comics for the tv show before the Devil (a.k.a. NBC) canceled it. I have 3 of these comics, numbers 9, 13 and 30. 2 of them are graded 9.8 by PGX and i have another one that i anticipate to be the same grade or better when i send it in. However, i'm a stickler to details. ALL of my Heroes/9th Wonders comics by Helix Comics Group are graded by CGC. But CGC won't grade the prop comics so PGX steals their business. So, my question is ....WHY? Why won't CGC grade these? Also, if anyone else has 9.8 prop issues of 9th Wonders for sale, please let me know. To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.
