scburdet Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I think you can be comfortable sending it. The back looks like it has some light creases or impressions. These could be pressable. I do see some kind of discoloration on the bottom right corner of the front and if that's staining, you could get dinged. Fortunately, it's quite a small spot. I assume the TATTOOZ is in the packet? You can check by shining a light behind it. They green tag if it's missing, unfortunately. The presence/absence of the TATTOOZ impacts pressing too. Mine was C&Pd by the authorized dealer who sends in my CGC orders, so I know that care has to be taken to prevent damaging the book when pressing with an intact packet. Most notably, you can't use as much heat b/c it melts the adhesive and can gum up the pages. Reducing heat also means you can't press creases out as effectively. IMO, this makes a solid case for CGC dispensing with considering the TATOOZ essential to having a Universal label. I'll go with 8.0 as is with potential of 9.0 with pressing (pending IDing what the discoloration is) Odda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest with you, I assumed if the tattoo card was in there, the tattoos were in there. Thank you for the info. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
