Indeed they did.

 

Beautiful weekend.

 

Although a little anti-climatic at this point:

 

 

I expected the grade to go up, but I hadn't considered the possibilty of a drop in PQ.

 

At least the QP never changes.

So, I guess I am a little confused.

 

You bought it as a CGG 9.4

 

Cracked it, had Byrne sign it, and it got a 9.6?

 

Or you cracked it and sent in it, and then it came back 9.6?

I took it to my LCS & watched in horror as Peter Dixon attempted to crack open a CGG case for the 1st time.

 

Despite my anxiety...the removal was successful, and I was able to hold the book in hand. Crisp.

 

The book was then placed in a mylar & taken to Ohio for the supposedly last John Byrne convention appearance.

 

John Byrne signs the bottom of the 1st page...and having been witnessed by a CGC official...the sig is authenticated & submitted under the Signature Series Yellow Label.

[ComicSupply]

Excellent for you.

That was my 1st & only CGG book, so I have no idea if the data is consistent.

 

PQ was a surprise.

 

Were you to accept a single example to be sufficient 'proof'...I would also recommend red label CGC slabs.

[Lazyboy]

From the examples I've seen of CGG/PGX books being broken out and sent to CGC:

about 65% went up in grade

about 25% were PLODed (no restored label before)

and the other 10% went down in grade

I've heard a lot about the old red label CGC books going up upon resubmittal, too. Of course people might not be so eager to share when the books go down or stay the same...

[kiltman]

25%? Whoa that could be alot or a little. How many books are you talking about here?

[Lazyboy]

Only around 20-30. Of course these aren't extremely reliable stats, mostly stuff I've seen on these boards. Like I said, it's not like everyone reports what happens everytime they resubmit a book.

Some people here have agendas (like trying to make CGC/PGX look good/bad)

It's not exactly news that PGX had issues with missing resto, or that no grader/grading company in the history of the world has ever been perfect.

I had Flying donut's Iron Man 100 35 cent variant CGC 8.0 red label resubmitted for grading - broke it out, "pressed" it where I thought necessary , and it came back as a blue label CGC 8.0 I guess I got screwed...
