CBCS - CROSSOVER 0

[jg44]

Wanted to see peoples experience with grading when using crossover service. Has anybody had issues with comic being damaged from the process?  I found a few old topics where some people said when it was a low grade from CBCS, it went lower from CGCS but on the higher grades not so much.   

The comic I am planning to send in to press and re-slab is a Fantastic Four 110 error in CBCS 8.5.

The grader notes from CBCS were - spine stress breaks color, light edge & corner wear, tiny rust stains back cover spine

Thanks for any input!

Save time, money & frustration by skipping CCS, and just doing the straight resub.   None of those defects will improve with a press.

Thanks for the input.  I had a feeling I should just resub.

Have had good, neutral, bad and really bad experiences with CCS/CGC.

my experience with cross grading was bad, my 9.4 cbcs return CGC 8.5   and another book return cbcs trimmed which was not. St john book that was miscut. I stop using that other company.

I did one of those too.  But I went from the other "P _ _" company to CGC.  Other Co gave it a green label and noted the "hand-trimmed cover wrap" but CGC just gave it the PLOD "trimmed" notation.  Look at that wavy top edge:

bought a higher grade ASM 129. wanted to do a quick flip. sent to CBCS came back 7.0.
Decided to just take the loss and sent it to a signing by a CGC SS guy.
It came back CGC 8.5 SS.
The book was pressed once and that was before I sent it to CBCS.

Done PGX >CGC and CBCS>CGC. Both came back the same grade.

I know well.  I have a few.  The one I posted is a bit different though.  The insides are factory/mechanical trimming, but the cover is hand cut along the top edge only.  It's like the printer needed that last one to meet the order quota and took some rejects laying around and assembled the good pieces of them in order to have a single clean copy.

Had a modern book that was a CBCS 9.8 and submitted for crossover with no pressing. Book returned back as a CGC 9.8.

It's a learn to grade thing.  If you buy the slab, you run into issues. Look at the book and get out a magnifier if you have it in hand, read notes, get extra photos if possible.  All my CBCS crosses to CGC came out equal or better.  No downgrades.  Not one issue with a single 9.8 to 9.8...Most of the graders at CBCS were CGC graders years ago. Folks forget that.

When subbing from cbcs to a cgc from a pedigree or collection book does it help to send in the old cbcs label that it was cracked from or no

[comicrage]

Do the CGC CrossOver honor CBCS Witnessed Signed books? Will I get a Yellow label? Thanks

[Dick Pontoon]

Nope.
