Best bump one has got from pressing??

[shine_pittsy]

Just wondering whats the biggest bump you guys have had from pressing?

 

example...can one go from a 7-9? I'm actually being hypothetical, but whats the biggest bump you've had???

 

Thanks dudes.

The biggest that I have got on new labels has been 3 grade. Example is a 7.0 to an 8.5.

7.0 to 9.4

Once got an 8.0 to 9.2

Didn't a book go from like a 4.0 to a 9.2 or something close to that?

 

I know I read an old thread someone linked once about an insane bump in that range

I have had two 4 grade bumps. An 8.0 to 9.4 and a 9.0 go to 9.8.

 

The biggest "bump" is not verifiable because the book was not professionally graded and encapsulated to begin with. But it was a pair of raw Detectives - 475 and 476. Just lots of bends and uneven surface from improper storage. But no color breaks and nice corners/spine. I would have graded them in the FN range. One got 9.8, the other 9.6

Yes it was a goldenage book.

Boy Comics #17 was graded at a 4.0, then 7.5, then finally as a 9.0.

 

It was an Edgar Church copy.

From Reynold Jay's site (commenting about the prep service he offers):

 

Back Issue Comix has been providing this service for a few select customers and the results have been very satisfying for everyone. In some instances comics arriving in 6.0 ended up as 9.6 and most often 9.2 /9./4 arrivals obtain 9.6 and 9.8 grades after prep.

 

 

About halfway down....

 

For those that don't know, RJ has been offering his "prep" service (dry clean and press) as long as I've been collecting CGC books. He was one of the first to know the game.

Had an X-Men 94 3.5 that bumped to 6.0 after a press and clean.

Not my book, but here is a classic thread about the infamous Church copy of Boy Comics #17, that started out as a 4.0, had two centerwraps reattached and possible pressing to get to a 7.5, and then was likely pressed again for a 9.0.

 

The thread also mentions a Funny pages V2 #11 that went from 5.5 to 9.0.

I had a 6.0 go to 9.0.

On the one CPR that I have had done Joey bumped an 8.5 old label up to a 9.2. He also managed to improve my PQ from OW-W to W.

[chainnball]

I know of a 9.4 that went to a 10.0! no kidding!

[chrisco37]

I've only had two books pressed. The one that was a CPR went from 6.0 LT/OW to 7.0 OW

Had an X-Men 94 3.5 that bumped to 6.0 after a press and clean.

 

I had a 6.0 go to 9.0.

 

Good lord!
