Amazing Fantasy 15 CGC Question

[wurstisart]

Hello Folks,

I am usually not much in this section, since I changed my main focus from books to original art (many years ago).

 

However, I have a ton of books, including a 3.5 Amazing Fantasy 15.

Like I said, I got this book years ago, bought it of ebay.

The book was already graded.

 

Recently someone mentioned that information about each particular CGC graded book can be viewed online, and I guess after all those years and with the prices going up, I just want to make sure that all is OK with the book I have.

 

I have no suspicions really, I guess I just want to make sure it is all legit and good. What do you guys think and how should I proceed?

 

Thanks,

Andy

Depends on what sort of information you're after...

 

The "verify CGC registration" option is available on the Colletors' Society website and will list some info like date graded, creator credits, etc. but not much else.

 

If you want a description of the specific defects your book has, then you need to call the 1-800 number for CGC and ask for the graders' notes. Those are only available over the phone.

That is incorrect. The only thing you can view online thru CGC is the census. For additional info about the book, you have to call them for graders notes.

 

 

I just want to make sure that all is OK with the book I have.

 

 

Is your book in a "blue label" slab? If so, you're good. (thumbs u

 

 

 

[wurstisart]

Old blue label.

Would a scan help?

[wurstisart]

why would there be a difference between blue and newer slab?

or do you mean blue vs. violet meaning restored, etc.

 

[Magneto]

I say yes to a scan!

[chrisco37]

why would there be a difference between blue and newer slab?

or do you mean blue vs. violet meaning restored, etc.

 

Yeah, I meant is it "blue", "purple", "green".

 

You say you've got a blue. I say your book is fine.

[Dick Pontoon]

What would be "not legit" about it?

[Ditch Fahrenheit]

I say yes to a scan!

 

+1

 

We'd love to see it!

 

[wurstisart]

i guess if i would have submitted it i would not even think about it,

but since somenone else sent it in could it be not what it says on the label ?

 

you guys sell and buy all the time...i dont.

so i guess i ask.

could it be replaced, etc.

[wurstisart]

what an amateur i am , how do you best scan a cgc graded book.

scan seems to come out fuzzy

any tricks?

[Spiderphill]

if none of the posts(corners) are broken, it should be fine.

[wurstisart]

corners posts seem to be fine, but there you go,

you even wrote seem to be fine.

how do you make sure you are fine?

[mschmidt]

The corner posts are meant to crack if someone tries to open the case - if they aren't broken, the book is what it should be.

[wurstisart]

there you go....took me forever to scan, crop, post.

sorry...

 

[MagnetoWasRight]

Gorgeous copy!

 

All looks well with the book to me. I think you're good to go. (thumbs u

[Pitboss]

That's the current label,not the "old blue label"

[wurstisart]

oops...you are right.

i guess i have newer labels then.

when did they come out with the new vs. old?
