Re-subbing vs Re-holdering Questions

[apollobuzz]

When you re-sub a slabbed book, do you crack slab and inner sleeve and put comic in bag and board, or do you send comic in old slab, or just in the inner sleeve?

 

Also, for re-holder (for cracked slabs for example), does CGC re-grade? If so, how is this different than re-subbing (other than cheaper cost and sending in old slab)?

If you're hoping for a higher grade, sending the inner well with the old grade probably isn't a good idea.

 

As far as I know, they don't re-grade reholders.

I would imagine they would only do so if they suspect damage while slabbed.

Send it in the slab. Graders don't get any information on the book whatsoever so the old grade won't affect their grading this time round. Plus let the experts crack it out of the slab, it's safer.

As has been mentioned, yeah sometimes they will do a cursory grade check.
