A question about the phantom variants,

 

I just went through all my copies that I bought from 3 different online stores and they all have that printing indent on the top of the cover, some have 2 indents.

 

But the #1's have alot of spine wear below the bottom staple only 2 of the 21 copies I have, have almost no wear.

 

The #6's are better with less wear on the spine also only have 2 with almost no wear, from 9 copies.

 

Does anyone else have this on their copies?

 

I think 9.8's might be hard to find.

Got my revival lot back in full yesterday:

 

18 x 9.8

2 x 9.6 (I have no idea why - must be something inside?) passed both Joey and CGC pre-screen..

2 x 1:10 var 9.8

 

no 9.9's for me!

yeah, did you have to pay for them even though they passed a cgc preescreen?

Nice haul buddy. The price they're at now you'll still probably make some coin on the 9.6's anyway (thumbs u

[Underground44]

if they pass a pre-screen but you get a lower grade, do you still have to pay for them.

 

If they fail a pre-screen, they don't get graded. I've had a few fail and they get sent back raw. They NEVER get encapsulated

Good question - I have contacted CGC as if they failed - why were they slabbed.

And yes - I was charged.

Let you know when they get back to me/Joey.

They slabbed a fricken 100 bullets which supposedly passed their pre-screen and came back 8.5

 

I have stared at the front back and spine for ages - there must be something inside I missed - again,you are correct - I should not have been charged,and the comic should not have been slabbed.

 

As I say - when I know, I will pass it on.

Bottom line - only 10 out of over 160 slabs failed to achieve 9.8 (bedlams too,don't forget) - but yeah,as I paid for pre-screen,something is amiss.

 

[krighton]

I doubt graders eyes are that much better than ours....I'd like to crack a 9.9 slab and take some high def photos.

[Beige]

Sure K, but a fricken mint looking 100 bullets, thats a $200 slab - comes back at 8.5 without any noticeable damage to the covers.

the spine is unmarked - I got nothing mate - nothing.

If its an internal issue - then I feel they are obliged to tell us why.

I'm not going to crack it open to have a look-see.

I got a 9.4 TWD back (again should not have been slabbed - I asked for 9.8 PS), but at least I saw where I had screwed up - my bad - live and learn.

 

But internal damage - that should be divulged.

[krighton]

making me rethink doing a pre-screen if they just send you all of them slabbed whether they're 9.8 or not.

[Beige]

Sorted - Joey did not tick the 9.8 pre-screen box.

I had three pressed revivals (not by joey, but another pro) that came back, 9.8, 9.6 and 9.4.

The 9.6 looks like a 9.8, and the 9.4 could be a 9.8, at worst a 9.6.

 

So I have figured there is something inside, and you having the same issue with it, makes me think there really must be something inside revivals that can hold them back.

 

BTW, my 9.6 revival sold for $60 plus shipping, and that was a while ago, so you shouldnt be losing out.

Bummer, still 10 out of 160 with no prescreen is an amazing batting average. My first prescreen was 10 out of 47 passed. Let Joey know I'm sure he will take care of you.

+1

 

And the 9.6ers are still a good value (glass half full)
