[mnc93]

Just got a huge submission back from CGC!! Most high grade!! (31 books)

But this is the one I wanted to show!!! I did not think CGC would slab this book but I took a chance!!

NOTE: Notice it does not say blue variant!!

[cobra_commander]

Now that...is very cool. Congrats!

But this is the one I wanted to show!!! I did not think CGC would slab this book but I took a chance!!

That sure worked out well. Is it the first Rai TPB of either color they have slabbed?

[cobra_commander]

Man that book really ROCKS! as a slabbed...love that blue!

[mnc93]

Now that I know CGC slabs Valiant TPB, I am going to be sending in more!!!

I thought the TPB was to big to be slabbed by CGC!! I guess I was wrong!!!

Nice book!

The Unity Diamond Trades are too big, but I think all the others can be slabbed.

I've seen a slabbed Rai TPB before, I just can't remember which colour it was.

[mnc93]

If I remember correctly there is only one slabbed Rai TPB on the census!!

I've tried with this book before, but have not got one by at 9.8.

It's a shame you will have to send it back it to get it labeled as the variant.

would they just re-label it or will they regrade it too...

They'll just re-slab it for free.

But you have to pay shipping both ways right ??

Is it worth it ??? I mean it is pretty clear that is is the blue cover variant

Would they relabel it on site at a con?

I always thought that you could submit on site but that they mail you the book back. It they do it all there, how much do they charge ?

[greg]

It doesn't matter much... and it's probably not worth getting it relabeled.
Everyone can see that it is blue, and that it is a CGC 9.8... that's enough.

CGC's census won't be correct, but the census is always less than 100% accurate anyway,
since people are resubmitting older books so often.

I'm fairly certain that when CGC began grading Harbinger #0, they didn't identify them as the Pink Variant.
So, of the 25 copies of "Harbinger #0" (supposedly the blue 2nd printing),
I think it's safe to say that at least a dozen of them are actually Pink.

CGC is less specific about the Shadowman Volume 3 books as well...
they didn't know which variant was which when they started grading them,
so now they have what appear to be the correct categories, but there are slabbed
copies that are labeled wrong for those as well.

If you ask me, it's no biggie... collectors won't be fooled.

Greg,

Have you ever submitted at a con or show ? Do you know anything about charges or if you get them backthe same day ?

Thanks,

Mike

Nice book I agree, no need to re-submit. We all know what it is....

I could see the 3 versions of # 1 being a little confusing, especially since 2 covers have the same image. Looking at the census, it appears only 5 # 2's have been submitted - all variants....

[ckb]

You would need to resub if you ever wanted it to be part of a registry set. At least a set that identified it as a variant.

Yep, I forgot about the registry... seems like they should be able to correct it in their database...
but they're comic graders, not DBAs.

I think the first copy of #2 graded wasn't recorded as a variant...
but they've either fixed it since then, or just fixed the registry.

They charge $20 for on-site grading for moderns, I don't think it's a "deal" financially, but it may be a "deal" timewise.

There's a difference between "CGC will be at a show" and "CGC will be slabbing on-site at a show".

CGC has a representative at a lot of shows who accepts books and takes them back to Florida.
They grade "on-site" rarely (due to taking all the equipment).

I believe they should be able to do a "label correction" on-site if they're grading on-site, but that's not very often.

You can have books reholdered on site at the conventions CGC grades at. If the reason they are reholdering (as in this case) is their fault there would be no charge. You would also get it back at the convention depending on how busy they are.
