I've seen a bunch of people here that deslab their graded books and just put them in mylar bags and keep the label inside the bag for reference. I even remember one person making their own custom sort of bag layout for displaying the book with the label and some other information. Not that I would ever do that, anything I want to get slabbed is because I want them to stay in a slab, but I thought it wasn't too uncommon that people just send stuff to get graded and then immediately crack it and keep the label handy. There are a ton of crackers on this board.... BlowUpTheMoon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad it came back as a 9.0. You are correct, pics on a website don't always show the whole "picture". Congrats! Those Mr. Miracles look really nice and look real good in that frame. Nicely done. Did you frame them yourself or have it done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't explain why you're seeing something that no one else is seeing. I see no difference, other than what can easily be explained away as a difference in lighting conditions. jsilverjanet, Black Bat and steveinthecity 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
