...and even then you can have other defects that keep a book from grading higher...so you press the book, pay to have it graded and it comes back in the same grade...or even lower if you are unlucky.

 

:frustrated:

 

It happens all the time. I've had two fairly big books go down in grade for no reason other than CGC graded them differently that day.

 

:cry:

 

It really does take money, time, trial and error and patience.

Oh, cut it out Roy! Just be honest with the people! (tsk)

 

O.K., if no one will admit it, I will:

 

If you catch a pressing fairy, keep her in a crystal jar with a pure silver lid, poke seven holes (no bigger than a needles tip) that form a Superman logo on the lid, and once a night, just before bed, lick the bottom of the jar with your tounge, .... if done correctly, the pressing fairy will grant that 1/2 the books you pick up the next day will be good candidates for pressing.

 

Feels so good to get that out in the open! (thumbs u

 

How do you manage to get half? I'm still operating at 20% :baiting:

 

Rookie :insane:

You must have got the CHEAP kind of silver for the lid doh!

He used tin foil. :gossip:
