PeterPark Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I'm thinking of getting a few of my Matt Baker books graded by CGC this weekend but was curious if others thought they were worth getting graded. Beyond that, it's always fun to guess the grade before it comes back. I have 5 so far I am considering but I might be adding a few others as well. Thanks for your help!

PeterPark Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) Pictorial Romances 13 Looks pretty good but that tear in the top cover goes through the entire book. You can see it on the back cover as well. Small tear lower right front cover. Edited August 15, 2018 by PeterPark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Just my 2 cents but any Baker book is worth a press and slab if your planning to sell, otherwise leave it be. FoggyNelson, KobaltDog and Lucky Baru 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPark Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 They'll be off for Newton ring fitting today. Anybody else want to chime in before they go? Should I press the TAR 24? Is the PR 13 really that high with the tear throughout the entire book? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great point... not sure if everyone caught that. It's a real beauty, but with the tear through the whole book I'd reluctantly say 4.5 to 5.0 as it's more of a structural defect. Will be interesting to see what CGC says. Lucky Baru, FoggyNelson and Gnasher 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Pontoon Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I think they'll hammer it. 4.0 tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see what CGC says. I was thinking the same thing. A tear through the entire book has to drop the grade far more. Still, it presents fantastic. Awesome seeing these Baker covers but when is it not awesome to see Baker covers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, did miss it, don't think it will go as low as 4.0 though, 5.0 is where I'm at with it now. Lucky Baru and The Lions Den 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPark Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) All books have been submitted (and the TAR 24 went in for a press as well). I will update with realized grades when I get the books back. If anyone else wants to weigh in, I'm all for it!

Yorick Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 @PeterPark I don't like having any work done to a comic unless it REALLY needs it. A point or half point grade difference isn't going to change the rarity of some of these. For pressing, there better be some serious spine roll for me to consider having that done.
