Might be :hm: . And if there is, it'll be in the submittal group I'm getting back this week.

For example a Rai 0 that should have come back 9.8 but no less than a 9.6 didn't make the pre-screen. When I get the book back it had a huge dented corner like it was dropped.

Needless to say I'm paying more buying raws and then submitting and not getting what I want them I am just buying the dang graded books.
I feel ya' on that, trust me. Buying raws and having to deal with multiple packaging/unpackaging/shipping/receiving points can only increase the chance of possible damage to those candidates, REGARDLESS of how well we try to prevent it; it can be truly frustrating, I know :!: .

Again, as soon as I receive grades on any points of interest, I will definitely hit you back to LYK :wink: .

Jay, this reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask you (and other fanatic slabbers such as ckb, Intrepidxc, etc.):

I'm guessing you have a day job and the slabs are just a side income. How much time you put into this stuff each week? Between buying books, examining them, shipping, contacting possible buyers (and sellers for your raws), etc.

Also (and feel absolutely free to ignore this question entirely if you want), how much do you make in profit in this venture?

Last, do you keep any for yourself - a "never sell" stack or something?

Just curious.

I'm just glad it was pretty good, long and drawn out. (that's what she said.)

:gossip: I get the feeling a minimum of 75-90%+ goes back into obtaining more books and slabs.. and that he's probably just now coming ahead this year from the massive amount of $$ he spent on VEI books he got graded in the summer and fall of 2012.. :lol: Or wait was that CKB? or both..? :lol: :popcorn:
It's not that I don't have an avatar... I've just been working on it for the last few hundred years.

Intrepid, I think you got a very high grade back on a very desirable book going raw to CGC. It's tedious and requires patience and some luck, but fwiw how many ruined 9.6 or 9.8 Rai 0s would it take to make up for the pleasant surprise in your signature. Answer = 100+ lol

I have a WotEW #1 Gold at CGC now. There is no possible way it will be anything less than a 9.8. :thumb:
