It was the first time I’d seen one in person, I bought it. Which one was it? Christmas wasn't Christmas without a annual or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BabaLament Posted December 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) Arrived today! Submitted under the Crossover promotion, a PGX to CGC conversion on ASM #129. I could not be happier with how this turned out. I don't have the greatest lighting in the world for taking pictures, but this book looks amazing. Super happy with how the Crossover books came out. *Update* More books arrived in the mail! Christmas time is my favorite time of year. Edited December 17, 2018 by BabaLament Additional content.

CGC contacted me & recommended a pressing on the ASM #129, and I went with the recommendation. However, the Marvel Tales was a straight conversion, and still came out 9.8, so my experience with the Crossover service has been awesome. I have a bunch of books out for delivery that I'll be posting once the mail gets here. Grades were what I expected, with some surprises thrown in for good measure.

speedcake Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Did the 129 require the press in order to maintain the same grade? I assume so as that was what was recommended. Pretty solid if only a press got you the same 8.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabaLament Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 @speedcake I don't know if it required a press, but it was recommended by CGC in an e-mail, and I agreed to have it pressed. They're the experts, so I'm not going to second-guess them; especially on one of my favorite books. speedcake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post webeloobie Posted December 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2018 Latest addition. I've bought and sold this book in a 9.8 a half dozen times and this'll be the last time.

speedcake Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Ok cool thx. From what I understand, a press can substantially improve a book, improve a book only a little, or even make a book prettier but not improve its grade due to other non press able flaws. So I have to assume if cgc contacted you to recommend the press , that it at least improved the grade a little and possibly a lot as I’m not sure they’d contact you if it would only be a very small improvement ? Maybe on a big book like 129 where even a half grade improvement is significant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would run you 60 dollars under standard tier. It's less under the lower tiers but it would take forever for you to get it back. Assuming he submitted under standard tier it probably ran about 90 something dollars for the press + crossover regrade. That's not counting handling fee + shipping cost to & from CGC. These submissions always end up more pricey than anticipated WolverineX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
