Badlands Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Hello, trying to school myself on the ways of CGC before submitting. My AF is complete, all pages intact and pretty nice, but one of the main issues is it looks like the staples have been replaced (along with tape on spine and right edge). Will this then be a restored, purple label? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyComics Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Can you show us the staples on the spine outside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JollyComics Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 It doesn't look like a restoration. Probably you will get the blue label with a note saying tape on the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will submit regardless, but just trying to set the right expectation for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrover Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 If you're concerned, have them pre-screen it for restoration. Then you'll know beforehand for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea, thanks. I have of course purchased plenty of CGC comics but have never submitted any. I am quite literally a CGC submitter "newb".

oldrover Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Depending on the situation, based on CGC's website, this might get a Restored or even a Conserved label. Possibly even a Qualified? Yeah... definitely pre-screen. This is the Marvel Holy Grail of books... you wanna know. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please excuse my ignorance here...regardless of what they tell me if I prescreened the book, I would still want to submit anyways, right? Is the purpose of the prescreen just a "heads up" kind of thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grendel72 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 In that case I would recommend that you skip the pre screen and just submit the book for grading since you want it graded regardless of the grade or designation. Side note, I didn't know that you could pre screen just one book . Thot it required at least 25 books minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
