Can this be Re-Holdered?

[Apotheosis]

I don't even know if "re-holdered" is a correct term... Anyway, I received a package in the mail today that was damaged. They sent the CGC'd book in a padded envelope with no extra protection of any kind. When I got it a corner was torn open and it was obvious the case was shattered. I'm wondering if it will still qualify for Re-Holder service since the inner well is intact or if I have to resub all together. Any help would be helpful...

I just sent one in that had a piece that big missing out of the bottom right corner. It didn't have cracks on the front of the holder like yours, but they did reholder it rather than requiring a full resubmission. My guess would be that they'd reholder.

Neat book...btw.

With that kind of damage....CGC will definately have to re-grade the book.

Thanks...

 

 

 

I've got one vote for re-holder and for re-sub... I wonder if we can get any CGC people to speak up on this one...

Thanks...

If the posts are broken, they are not supposed to just reholder it. That has been the rule since forever. Don't know how Jeff got his book reholdered -- but I suspect they at least re-checked the grade before sticking it back in the slab.

Let's frigg'in hope so!

With mine, I just figured that since only one post was broken, and the inner well was intact, they allowed the reholder. There was still no way someone could have removed the inner well, switched out the book or label, and replaced it.

Hmm... I sent in a GL #59 a few years back that was missing the entire bottom left corner of the slab and they reholdered it for me.

I can't believe someone actually mailed a slabb in that envelope. That just a case of being cheap.

They will most likely reholder the book with checking to make sure about the grade! that it still grades the same! Never be surprised always be amazed as it is always amazing what you can see with CGC books sometimes!

That's a stupid way to send a classic book such as that. I'm sorry that happened to you.

[Sharkey]

I hope you leave some interesting feedback for the brain-dead seller who shipped this book to you.

 

To this day I do not understand the degree of stupidity that some sellers show when they pack and ship valuable collectibles like this. GGRRrrrrrrrr.

Definately!........ Does the comic itself look like it was damaged? Another reason why you purchase insurance.

[iron maniac]

I sent an Avengers #1 back for reholdering that looked just as bad as your slab. Mine was packed in a cheap envolope too by the seller. I insured it so the seller took the fall on that one.

I will never understand why anyone would ever pack a CGC book in a cheap envolope especially expensive keys.

[Apotheosis]

Yeah.. you would think that since they charged $10 for shipping a box would have been involved.

[Aces]

Especially now with the flat rate box at under $8.

Just plain lazy on the sellers part

I would send it in under re-holder service unless you can easily tell the book has been damaged. CGC uses common-sense customer service when dealing with issues like this...
