Topnotchman Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 As a recommendation, you should take it out of the poly bag on your own, review the condition. Than get the book pressed before grading as the books are known to get bag dents on the covers. Upgrayedd2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can send it in the bag with a note telling Cgc to remove the bag. not the best for the grade of the comic, but totally a valid option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice is to remove the comic and inspect it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upgrayedd2 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Side Note I agree with everyone’s comments above but would like to add, “take pictures of the comic before you submit it”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would they grade it and encapsulate it. thanks in advance Absolutely have them pressed!!! Might as well remove the bag and keep your card too... I won an auction for a dozen Cable Sealed polybags last winter from a large prolific & "reputable" Ebay seller, listed as "NM/M New in Bag"... EVERY SINGLE ONE of them received an 8.5 or less... they are now just paperweights in my closet that can't be sold. Here is a small sampling of those with some of my others... Not worth the expense of a re-sub to press in the hopes they become 9.4-9.6, which will still not be worth the effort to sell given there are a MILLION (quite possibly, literally) of these out there... especially after you have it slabbed .... It is just "Xforce #1", no more relation to the card it was originally bagged with ... I learned a very humbling $500 lesson with this experience. Also note, when I submitted 10+ with Cable cards, I received back a mix of all assorted XForce cards, only maybe 2 Cables came back (and of course no deadpools) ...There is no guarantee you get back polybags or COAs/Cards, etc with your subs. They do try though! They must get so many of these, they are hard to keep straight over the employees laughing all the way to the bank from us rookie mistake submitters.

cannal Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Wanna hear a more recent horror story? I submitted 3 copies of Ultimate Fallout #4 (1st printing) - all of them polybagged. I was under the impression that polybagged would be getting higher grades because to me the polybag represented some form of protection. I just now see that they have been shipped and the grading is available online for me to see. My jaw dropped.... Ultimate Fallout 4 10/11 Marvel Comics 8.0 WHITE crease left top of back cover breaks color Ultimate Fallout 4 10/11 Marvel Comics 6.5 WHITE polybag crease back cover, polybag crease front cover, wear full bottom of back cover, bends to cover Ultimate Fallout 4 10/11 Marvel Comics 9.2 WHITE polybag crease back cover, polybag crease front cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypost Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 The poly bag is not the same as bagged and boarded. In many cases the poly bag is detrimental to the comic, especially the ones with very prominent seams. The seam acts like a saw blade slowly digging into the books cover. In some cases it can remove ink and paper. Always, always, always remove books from poly bags ASAP and send them to get properly pressed. silverseeker and greggy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add each one to another slab that youre selling as a bonus book...just up the price $15 - $20. At least youll get some of the money back.
