PGX unrestored ----> CGC restored??

[TheAvenger80]

Hey guys... I'm sure CGC is much better at detecting restoration, so I was curious. I have a book I'm thinking of submitting to CGC. It is currently in an unrestored PGX container. Has anyone ever submitted a PGX unrestored only to have it be found restored by CGC?

 

p.s. This topic is ok, right?

I'm positive I've seen a PGX book unrestored come back as a CGC restored. So yeah, it happens. I think.

[Sal]

There's literally dozens of examples.

[Flaming_Telepath]

Yup, it's happened a few times and there's a thread from a few years back that had the details. (thumbs u

Yup. Happens quite a bit actually, GA is a realllll -shoot. But PGX doesn't really discriminate much. I've got two bronze books in PGX holders that I'm really afraid to submit as they are on the list of books confirmed to have been found as restored by CGC when previously in unrestored holders by PGX. Shazam 1 and Swamp Thing 8. I finally rolled the dice on the Swampy, I'll let you know how it turns out if you want. Should be back in a couple of months.

there's also been lots of talk about grades as well....some pgx books come back lower cgc..some have come back much higher cgc(from 9.2pgx to 9.6 cgc)..so its a shoot all the way around...you should post grade as pgx then a scan from the new cgc.....

It has happened to some people.

 

But I recently documented in this forum the Batman #27 I bought for just over $100 as an unrestored PGX 5.0 and it came back as an unrestored CGC 6.5

[Ares]

I bought a few PGX books that I subbed and they came back exact grade from CGC

[Wrightson fan]

My last two submissions contained PGX books that I cracked out.

 

Swamp Thing 8 in PGX 9.8 White came back as a 9.8 trimmed OW/W

 

Superman 233 PGX 9.4 OW/W came back as a 9.2 trimmed OW/W

 

 

Did I mention that PGX can bite me?

Looks like it already did

 

 

[nik]

Yes

[DrWatson]

I had an X-Men 169 9.9 PGX come back as a CGC 9.8. I also submitted three Jumbos in the PGX 9.X range and they came back CGC 7.0, 8.0 and 8.5.

[Sal]

While PGX is at turns decent, satisfactory or terrible for Bronze and Silver Age books, buying a Golden Age PGX book is literally a gamble, and should be treated as such

[DiceX]

I also submitted three Jumbos...

 

They're talking about comic books. Not your dating preferences.

Valid point.

[Boozad]

I've often thought before now about buying some PGX books and resubbing to see of they get grade bumps. Aah bollocks to it, I'll try it anyway.
