Jarodm5 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Hi. I've just started submitting comics to CGC but haven't gotten any back yet so not sure how accurate my grading is. Planning to submit this lower grade comic and wondering what you all think it will grade as. I've been getting everything cleaned and pressed through CGC mainly because it's cheaper to ship if you don't split the order up, so it will be pressed. Thanks!

Fisionbomb Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I'm at 2.0, and I don't think a press will do much. Cleaning IF it removes some grime and brings a shine might get you to 2.5/3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarodm5 Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 Thanks for the replies. I'm never sure what kind of effect things like those gouges have on the grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
universal soldier Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I think a 2.5 is about right if there is no spine split. I would be a bit concerned about a press as it almost seems to be a bit brittle. As stated, it wouldn't help much anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Is the picture lighting dark, or is that how the comic actually looks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
