Reholdering an Amazing Fantasy 15 0

[NYTrash]

Hi,

I have a CGC 4.0 Amazing Fantasy 15 with extensive Marvel chipping, that is in the old style holder slab. I’d like to send it in to be reholdered in the new “Spidey” slab. My question is this: Will the process of reholdering it, damage the book if it is brittle and chipping? Do they always remove the inner sleeve? I think that might damage the book and lose a few more “chips”.. Am I guaranteed that if the present slab is in perfect condition, that my grade will not be lowered?

Good morning,

Thank you for your message. We can never make any guarantees when it comes to removing a book from the holder.  The original grade will become invalid once it is removed.  Certainly, we use extreme caution when removing a book and reholdering it and there usually is not a problem. In the vast majority of cases the book is reholdered at the same grade.  

However, if you know your book is very fragile then the risk becomes greater as the more that fragile book is handled the more risk there is. It is possible that just the act of removing the book from the holder could cause additional defects and if that is the case, it would have to be regraded and could possibly downgrade. You may want to review our terms and conditions before submitting.  You can find those here: CGC Service Terms and Conditions | CGC (cgccomics.com)

If you have any questions, please let us know.  Thank you!

So you DO remove the book from it’s inner sleeve when reholdering? Is it possible to just get a new outer slab put on it, and not the inner sleeve?

I'm getting that feeling too. I just hate those old holders... ugh

I hear you but you send that in and it comes back a 3.0 and you will have paid an unholy amount of money for that new holder

I wouldn't even consider it...Just focus on the cover and the "4.0".
