Guess the grade given by CGC

[comicmankev]

Cracked the slab and made no mention of it being resubd. I do actually pass on all the labels I get to CGC with my next submissions so hopefully they get taken of the census!

Then it may be that CGC was overly harsh, hoping to get some extra cash on a resub... which they did?

[sfilosa]

The real question is:

 

Is it really worth the gamble to resubmit.

 

My analysis shows that Avengers #10 in 8.5 sells for around $135, but a 9.0 sells for around $200. Since it cost at least $25 to resubmit, you extra profit was $40. But if the book came back the same grade, you would in theory lose $25.

 

Just seemed a little risky to me.

Well, thought you all might like to know that after purchasing the book from osborn it is now a 9.0 OW?

 

Grade gets better, pages deteriorate?

 

Well, i'm just back from Burkina Faso and i learn that you have resubmit my book

Great idea .

I'm really happy for you. I still think that this book deserves a 9.2

 

And what's happened with Bug ? He's banned ? WTF has happened the last week when i was in Africa ?

What - you mean Upper Volta? Please use the correct nomenclature, Osborne - you know we don't take kindly to folks who don't take kindly to Upper Volta...

[osborn_fr]

Upper Volta was the name given to this country when it was colonized by the frenchs... But it was a long time ago... before president Chirac

 

But what am i saying ? Oh my good i have just hijacked my own thread !

8.5?? Are there some interior problems. this doesn't make grading sense.

The book sold on ebay for $261.88

 

I sold it $130 to comicmankev when it was a CGC 8.5. So, yes, it was a little risky but this time our fellow U.K collector was right !

CGC is really clamping down. The creases that don't break color are a killer and bring my comics down to a 9.0 max..
