A CGC SS 9.6 to 9.8 Question...

[LloydJBailey]

Is it common to send a CGC 9.6 SS to CGC after getting signatures added and it returning back as a 9.8? or is this unheard of?

Only your hairdresser would know for sure . . .

It's happened.

This happened with an Incredible Hulk 181. I remember the thread. The book was slabbed as a 9.6. The book was opened to have it become a SS book. The book went from being worth roughly $5,600 to $25K+... Not bad for a return on a SS re submission.!! A 9.6 slabbed to a 9.8 SS slabbed book.. Talk about a sweet bump in grade!!

i would think its rare..but who knows man...roll those dice!

Its happened to me a few times, but so has the reverse. (9.8s becoming 9.6s)

I've had roughly the same number of grade drops as grade bumps when submitting a book for Signature Series, but most of the time they just come back the same grade. It's a roll of the dice whenever you crack a book out of the slab.

You guys realize I mean...

Adding more signatures to a book and returning the book to CGC with more signatures added, and the previous yellow label, so they can verify the previous sigs without giving it a green label, but this would mean... they would see it was previously a 9.6.

 

If that makes sense.

The graders don't see the previous label and don't know what the previous grade is. A resubmitted SS book has the same chance of getting a grade bump as a Universal book.

Same here - it helps if you inspect the slabbed book beforehand & don't crack books where the grade looks soft.

The only 9.6 i cracked for SS came back 9.8
