opinion P.G.M. 9.6 Batman 423 2x Signed Todd & Starlin I Want Decarlo Should I send it out? 5 5

[tommy1292]

Originally sent in for Todd got a 9.4 & resubmitted for Starlin and got a 9.6 I would love to send it in for Decarlo but I am unsure if I will get a 9.6 or higher considering the minor flaws. I would be happy with a 3x signed 9.6 but I am extremely hesitant. Should I keep it 2x signed and not send it in?

  I would be scared to death of getting that 9.4 back.......but to have all three on this book and have it as a 9.6 is a Home Run. This is an example I believe that grading has been some-what eased as of lately.....It can get damaged during the encapsulation process....this is a glorified conundrum.....I think it would come back these days as a 9.6 ...but like you said there are some small issues with the book.

I was stoked when I got it back from Starlins at a 9.6

  It's one of the great Batman covers.....let's just get that out there.....now I didn't know when you send in for autographs that they re-grade the book ......WOW.....I thought they would just get it signed and reslab.....No Idea that you could send a book in at one grade and possibly get a worse grade sent back to you.......It sounds like there is some risk involved with getting autographs.......and some reward if your lucky....

exactly, I happened to be on the lucky side but then again looking at it. I am legitimately scared to have decarlo sign it. I wouldnt want a 9.4 or 9.2 signed by all 3. I know 9.8 is close to impossible but I would settle for the 9.6 then I would be the most happy !

Think the risk of it dropping to 9.4 is very real. Don't risk it man.

I would not resubmit. You're just as likely to receive a lower grade than to get a 9.6 back. Also, IMO, another signature is going to clutter up the cover.

Thanks for posting.

I concur, do not resubmit. Take the win.

Don't do it. Enjoy the near perfect book with two excellent signatures.

As a fan of creators and the idea of having the main ones on a book, I understand the desire to have DeCarlo on there.

However, I think you have the big two that people really care about, plus it sounds like the possibility of having it drop to a 9.4 (or heaven forbid worse) would affect your love for the book. 

So I would not risk it....unless you actually can live with a 9.4 and it would not affect your love for the book.

@comicginger1789 I think your take is spot on.

What matters more - another sig on the book you love, or the grade on the book? It, for the most part, is still the same book unless the last person to handle/sign it messes with it. If you care about it from a sales perspective, ok, leave it don't add the last sig and keep the 9.6. If it is about owning the book "forever" and you want the sig then I'd send it in regardless of the grade they send back. It is all subjective anyway.

That book is beautiful either way.
