CGC Cleaning/Submission Question:

[possumgrease]

1. Can you submit different orders in the same box? For example, can I send in a modern, no pressing, in the same box with order for vintage, pressing? I'm just trying to save on shipping, but didn't know how that affects processing and return shipping.

2. Any thoughts on whether CGC cleaning would remove these pencil marks? I bid on this book on ebay (this is the ebay photo) before noticing the pencil marks on the logo and before seeing the seller had (at the time) zero reviews. The book did arrive and it was in advertised condition. Does that grade higher than a 2.5?

I’m not sure about now, but CGC didn’t allow different tiers or pressing requests in the same invoice. Their site now lacks info it used to have on these things.

They can do well with pencils marks, but those get really difficult on dark covers like this.

I would forgo grading this one as you are not likely to recoup your grading costs. You might even devalue it.

Thanks for the feedback. I think you may be right. I put it in mylar with some firm backing boards and that may be the best this book can do at the moment.
