ASM #11 - CGC - Ohio Pedigree 0

[CGC ASM]

Can someone walk me through the progression of the Ohio Pedigree for ASM #11...

????????   Not sure what you mean by that.

...sold for $1800 as a CGC 8.0 last month...White pages..."turned around" again in 2 weeks (listed in auction), now entered as a CGC 9.0 with Off-White / White pages...clearly the same pedigree book with the grease pencil mark...

Ahhh....looks like whomever bought it in Jan went for the quick Crack/Press/Resub (walk-thru) and back to auction.

I seem to recall this book was also a CGC 7.5 the first time it got slabbed long ago...

The lower right corner looks much nicer in the 9.0 holder. 

In their restoration policy CGC clearly states they do not consider pressing and dry cleaning restoration, and do not distinguish between pressing a raw book or one in an existing holder.

Not everyone agrees with the logic, but it's clearly out there. Not the first book where this has been done. It won't be the last. I'd have a tough time arguing it doesn't look every bit a 9.0 though.

So this book has likely now been pressed for a third time!  Is there a limit to how many times before the book is so flattened, it starts to damage the structure of the comic?  And does the "1/6" written on the cover have the potential of getting smeared with every additional press?

What happened to the tiny tape pull in the grating ?

Unless I'm missing something 8.0 had a tiny tape pull

That appears to have been on the plastic case.  I had requested larger scans of the front cover when it was initially offered by CL, and that defect was not present when they emailed me the photos of the 8.0.  But there did appear to be a bottom right corner crease.

One of the MANY reasons i prefer low-midgrade books. Too much shenanigans/manipulation that could be worth thousands of dollars. Not saying it's not a beautiful copy it absolutely is and i'm certainly not krapping on what other people collect but come on the press and resub thing is exhausting with Pq seemingly changing every time as well. I understand restoring and unrestoring books even giving a book a press but this is nuts to a certain point isn't it? I'm perfectly happy with my beat up copy it's got character ?

Glad to see it wasn't a tape tear?
