comicdonna Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, Wilddragon said: @comicdonna So then the reason people are getting plain books without anything special about them(no sig for example) is because they are unrestored books? Doesnt seem worth the cost. I suppose if its a rare first appearance or a really old book I can see wanting it slabbed. But it appears as though people are just submitting random books for the most part. A good reason to get a book slabbed, (especially an expensive book) would be for the restoration check. Another reason is for a grade from 3 experienced graders. It makes the book easier to sell if it's been CGC graded. There are many other reasons.
