kimik Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Nice books being snagged by board members . I have a follow-up on the 5.0 CR I purchased off ebay, albeit for the record price I believe. I resubmitted it to see if it would get a grade or PQ bump, and it managed to get the later. A little dissapointed it didn't get the .5 grade boost I expected, but as we all know, that's the game. I'm still happy with the CR/OW bump. I know a few folks saw the book in the old style slab, here's the book in a fresh new slab. You are supposed to PRESS it first and then resub if you want a grade boost. Fricking noobs. Just kidding. Looks better than the last couple of 5.0s I owned from the front. Are there stains or other damage on the back that caused the downgrade?

Boba Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Ok, don't hold back, I can take it - my skins tough. Seriously, I looked at the book over and over and the wrinkles were so minimal I decided to just leave it be and go au-naturale. I've been moving away from pressing everything in sight to squeeze every ounce out of the grades. Besides, if I decide to sell it I can say -possible 5.5 with a press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 [ Are there stains or other damage on the back that caused the downgrade? To be clear, there was no downgrade, the 6.0 is another book I purchased after I got the 5.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Maybe it's like you say, a pressing would have made the difference, but I don't see anything major on back. Granted, I only got it back Wednesday, so I haven't studied it that close since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistty1 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I can confirm I sold that copy that year...I am not the seller now, the buyer of the book is (the seller is the person I sold the copy too) (thumbs u Why did you sell it to someone who didn't treasure it enough to keep it more than a year? you would have to ask the buyer...when he bought it (at a great price I must ad), he more than indicated that this was his "grail"... however, to be honest, once I sell a comic that I bought specifically for resale, it is really none of my business what the owner does with it... I think I have sold over 20 copies of SC22 in the past 3 years and I would bet that outside of the 9.0 and maybe one or 2 others, all have been flipped at some point Well Rick there's one certain 4.5 ow/w that will never be flipped. you were one of the few I was thinking of (thumbs u And I still have a my 4.0...
