Question About Valuation hehe

[Scrooge]

It's a great book that might suffer from SCS. It has some fantastic whites on the cover and inside. A great book to own all around and well enough to let be.

Do basically my GSXM 1 sucks for the grade Can I ever get good news?

Diving in head first Into unknown waters doesn't always go so well.

You got good news. Your comic received a higher grade than it should have...it might experienced some shaken slab syndrome....happens all the time.

 

It's still a great looking copy.

I agree that you should leave it as is. I don't think you'll get as high as a 9.2 in a resub, pressed or not.

Problem is I paid for a 9.2, albeit on the low side. $850

Consider yourself lucky to have gotten that book graded 9.2,if it was raw I would say that's in the 8.0/8.5 area.Just sayin'

 

It's nowhere near an 8.0. People almost universally tend to undergrade in these forums when using blown-up scans of defects. CGC doesn't downgrade much for those bindery tears on his copy, and they look tiny, probably in the 1/16" to 1/8" range.

How is it a problem if you paid for a 9.2? That's what you got.

..True but it is a weak 9.2,..pressing would still be a risk on this book between the PQ and possible down grade to 9.0,...plus you have the price of pressing a book of this value ranging between $50-$75,...I just don't see it being a good canidate,..

Bad news if you're only in it for the quick flip, good news if you simply want to own a very nice copy of a desirable key book.

There is a lesson to be learned in all of this.

...it already is a very nice copy,...there is no reason to press it unless you were going to flip it,...crack your slabs and it will set you free brother,...

I wasn't suggesting he press it.

I'm not. I might try to sell it at break even at some point, just to pick up something else.

[RockMyAmadeus]

I don't think this book will get a higher grade after a press.

 

+1

 

A press is not time machine

 

Mine is. I do need to upgrade, though. Mine still runs on plutonium, and despite being 2011, it's not quite available on every street corner just yet...

Too bad, Rent-A-Center does have comics in their line-ups yet ...

I beg to differ,I've seen better 8.5s than this 9.2.Of course the pics are not very good,would rather of seen scans of the book.

[CR]

You should roll the dice and press it. Maybe it comes back lower. Maybe it comes back the same or higher. But you only live once - might as well keep things interesting.

 

Besides, can you imagine the reaction here if you got it back as a 9.4 with white pages?

[the blob]

I don't think this book will get a higher grade after a press.

 

Could be the case, I thought perhaps the corners could be improved. Obviously the dings where paper separates can't be fixed. Maybe Joey can give his input.

 

The 9.2 was a gift grade with that chunk out of the spine. 50/50 chance that after a nice pressing it comes back an 8.0.

[Comicopolis]

Take it out of the case, get a thousand or so 90's books and place them on top of the book - make sure you place all of the books in direct sunlight and leave them like that for about 3 years.

 

Then come back here and post some updated pictures.

[brendanb438]

Get it pressed and restored, then send it to PGX and it will come back a 9.9.
