ReHolder Service Clarification 0

[KirbyTown]

Hi,

Does the ReHolder service simply move the sealed book into a new outer holder or is the book sliced out of it's seal, resealed, and then put into a new outer holder?

Thank you.

Hello!

Reholder services remove the book from its hard outer case AND the soft inner well. The book then is encapsulated in a new sleeve and new case with a freshly printed label. Let us know if you have any other questions.

I have a follow-up, yes:

Is there a way to request ONLY an outer holder swap without removal of the book from the heat seal, and what is the cost for that service?

Hello,

Unfortunately this is not a service we offer. If a book is sent in for a re-holder service, it is removed completely from its previous encapsulation. Let us know if you have any other questions.

If the comic is damaged during the ReHoldering process, is it regraded at no charge and would that extend the turnaround time?

Thanks,

Hello Kirby,

If a book is damaged during this process, we would regrade the book at no charge and then send it through encapsulation. This generally only extends the turnaround time by 1-2 business days.

They're going to re grade it.  They're  not going to simply honor the PGX /CBCS grade and reholder it

 I currently have a 9.8 and will soon have it signed at a signing event. I see tears at the top of the book and afraid it will be downgraded after opening it for signature.  Because the book has already been graded 9.8 does it keep the grade after it is opened and signed.  Is the book regraded after signature or does it keep its original grade.

Because the book is being removed from its holder and handled while being signed, it’s going to be regraded.  Recently I submitted 6 graded books for the Todd McFarlane signing.  I had them all CCS pressed and they all held their original grade. But unfortunately I’ve read some horror stories as well.  I would definitely recommend having your book CCS pressed afterwards but it is not going to help with the tears at the top of the book. Pressing will help to get rid of any finger impressions added during signing.
