We have errors, "variants", double/multiple covers, "missing a cover error", and recall books. What are they going to come up with next? That, good sir, requires a thread of its own   |

Or page was printed with extra paper. Dog leg? Is that what they call it? Makes sense, if not. I can't imagine anyone would treat this as special, rather than hope it isn't counted against the label grade. |

I had a book with siamese pages but i sliced it with a box cutter so that I could read the damn pages. |

Get it sealed back on and sub it to CBCS, not CGC.
Joking, of course. Both are known to miss stuff.

Oh, if you're going to submit it, then yeah- CGC it. And that's not necessarily a knock on CBCS. They're just not there yet when it come to sale value. And, for those who don't 'know' me, I have no problem with slabbing certain books with the intent to sell. It does help maximize return, and it offers the buyer a better than fair shot at receiving a shenannigan-free item. |

Also, I'm not saying that's the only valid reason to slab, but it is for me.
I tried slabbing a few books under "because" for the "reasons" category, and while I was very happy with the results, I saw money that I could be using to buy comics is instead doing nothing (right now). Because they're keys and a HG double cover (double covers are cool), it's not a loss, and will be worth more to my family. No one else in my family collects comics- I hope they keep them, but can't realistically expect them to.
Naturally I buy slabs, but don't always crack them. If it's a hot item and high grade, I might keep it and often buy a low grade reader to go with it. But for me, slabbing is unnecessary. I'll leave instructions for our son what to do if they feel they need to sell; which books, which grading company, which ones to clean/press or CPR. I have an ASM 8.0 W that, if it were flat, I feel would be an easy 9.2- My opinion, of course, but I do pretty well in grading contests (fwiw), and this one is right in front of me. Anyway, that's almost a must CPR if selling.
