Batman no. 22 0

[BenF]

A PGX that I would like to regrade by CGC...Just curious on what the average guess of a grade this book will come back at 

Grading notes: multiple stress lines along spine, cover & edge wear, brittle, multiple chips.

I am thinking 2.5 at best.  It has been my experience that PGX is much more lenient on lower grade books.  Are you not going to divulge the grade it was given? 

[BenF]

Hey, thanks so much for the reply..Id rather not, so it doesn't skew any good guesses...i will post the grade after a few days..

I would say either 2.5 or 3.0

Well, I simply can't put much stock in PGX---I've seen too many examples of their less than adequate service here and elsewhere. The book could be incomplete for all we know (yes, they're really that incompetent). I've also seen and heard of the two companies differing on the final grade by quite a substantial margin. And "minor brittleness" could affect the final grade as well. My advice would be to send it to CGC and hope for a miracle...good luck.

2.5-3.0

Yes minor brittleness could be a prob - I sent an ALL American 16 in which I thought would be a 3.0 but it got a 1.0 or so due to page brittleness - but your's doesn't look as bad .. I would say a 2.0 - 2.5

What you guys think about the pencil signature....What if I took the book out and gently tried to erase it? Think it would help with the books grade or at least the appeal?

[ROBTOTHEC]

I think signatures and written dates as well as date stamps DOES NOT affect the grade on these old books, especially if it is not horribly intrusiveness and this one is not.  

I would not risk damaging the book and it won't change the grade IMO. 

[Joosh]

I think 3.0

I would leave the pencil mark 100%

[comicginger1789]

2.0-2.5 for me

[timfinz]

Nice book! Leave the hand written signature it does not effect the grade.

Spoiler

2.5 IMHO!

 

[BenF]

For those that wondered...The PGX grade was a 2.0

 

Thanks so much for the grades and conversation! It was much appreciated!
