Has there been any word with this?

 

CGC hitting the 1 million mark and people always trading up to the new CGC case because they do not like the look of the early CGC cases. Has anyone thought that owning an old CGC case with a high grade book could become a collector's item as well?

 

There are not that may old CGC cases out there as they are being sent in.

 

Any feedback would be great. I think having early CGC cases with books with the company that reinvented the grading system would be an item down the road.

Yes, but not for the sentiment--more for the "OMG PRIMO PRESSING CANDIDATE!" factor. doh!

collectors usually eye the old slabs like this now...

because it is rumored that CGC was stricter on their grading back then

and thus a possible higher grade on a re-sub.

 

 

:gossip:

This is not always true. I have cracked, pressed and resubbed old label books only to get the exact same grade. The book visually looked better, but the grade remained the same.

some times it is the looks that count...

 

I always go for the book the presents well - no matter what he grade is.
