Sorry if i got this wrong for posting books in pgx holder.

 

 

adamstrange says one request cgc makes is that we not post pics of a book in a competitor's slab

 

I did read the rules and did not see this. I have more CGC slab books then pgx but for the price it would have cost i went with them.

I do like raw books better as a collector so if i take them out its not a huge loss.

 

If this is true i will not post those holder books can someone tell me if this is true Thanks

 

More a matter of etiquette. It's unlikely CGC is all that concerned about conversions to PGX, but this is their church, so to speak.

 

Just repent and change your evil ways, I doubt the pontiff will single you out for excommunication. :devil:

This is now my centerpiece, for me it doesn't get any better and the quest to find it was something I will never forget.

They mostly frown upon PGX books being offered for sale on the site.... they're a bit more tolerant of sharing scans.... although the few that I had and posted I cropped out the PGX label.... out of respect. GOD BLESS....

Russ;

 

If this exact same book was unrestored and sitting in a slab, how much higher do you think the grade would be? hm

 

It definitely looks like CGC has 2 completely different grading scales at work here. A much looser one for unrestored books and a much tighter and more agressive one for restored books. :boo:

 

I assume they must feel that the stigmitization of the PLOD is not enough of a knock on an restored book. It is also necessary to knock it down a few more notches from a technical grading point of view.

 

I'd say 8.5 or 9.0. I'm not sure if they have different scales,but I have seen quite a few restored books that appear nicer than the grade on the slab.

I've owned relatively few keys during my 35 year collecting career, even so this is the one book I keep returning to:

Gorgeous book Steve. The colors are just mind blowing. It must be amazing in hand.

That is a genuinely beautiful cover. Given the quality of Flessel's covers he should probably be even more appreciated than he is. Definitely one of the top tier GA artists, IMO. (thumbs u
