NoMan Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Should you just send it in the Voldy slab or is that in poor form, maybe sway the graders. Or just send it raw to keep it neutral? Edited June 7, 2017 by NoMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 In theory, the graders would not see it in the slab. By the time it reaches them, it would have been deslabbed by other staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a high dollar value slab I like to take it out and then sandwich it between two pieces of special "micro-chamber paper" so it's, ya know, "protected" in the grading room.

spidermanbeyond Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Only reason to keep in the slab is if you are worried about damage from handling (eg. it is a 9.8). CGC person might damage it by breaking it out same as you. Tiny ding and no more 9.8. Better to break out and look at the up close yourself and see if you agree with grade. Also save on shipping cost by breaking out. If looking for upgrade, consider break out and press. You can PM me (I can press for you). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADAMANTIUM Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Don't recommend doing it at all if possible. I broke one and pressed and cgc it was 5.5 came back 4.5 If it's a big dollar book or just something irresistible I understand just be prepared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoMan Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) It's a Voldy acquisition for my DD Miller 9.8 newsstand run. It's 9.8 Voldy, duh! It's issue #184. Wanna be CGC. Lots of people are talking about my Miller 9.8 run. It's probably gonna be a pedigree collection.

Pedigree designation usually indicates that all the books were original owner books from the get-go. STORMSHADOW_80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
