Popular Post MrBedrock Posted November 21, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) Sold! So one book this time around. Someone at the Collector's Summit asked me if I would consider parting with my Diary Secrets 26. I thought about it a bit, then said "Sure!" Well he passed so I figured I would offer it here. Diary Secrets 26 CGC 7.0 off-white to white. The book is now cracked out of the slab and is every bit as lovely as it looks in the scan. At this point it is the single highest graded. $10,000 firm. I will include some photos of it raw later this evening.

At this point it is the single highest graded. If it's cracked out, doesn't that invalidate the claim, that it's the single highest graded? Because would there not be an argument that others may have a raw copy equally as good if not better? I'm confused by the claim. I'm all for cracking out books...but can you still claim the grading? I'd like to know if this a thing, where you can crack out and still claim the CGC grade? Funnybooks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know if this a thing, where you can crack out and still claim the CGC grade? The argument could still be made that it was once graded 7.0 and that is the highest grade that CGC has ever given a copy if this issue. I never claimed that a nicer raw copy doesn't or couldn't exist.

I never claimed that a nicer raw copy doesn't exist. I know, I just wanted clarification as what selling protocol is for crack-outs going forward. Using the phrase...'at this point it is the single highest graded' confused me, because it's not is it? Because the CGC guarantee has effectively been nullified, has it not? Or am I totally wrong on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 He's been clear that the book is cracked out, so the buyer has the information they need to proceed or not. I don't see an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
