Issue 1 came back 3rd print. 2 and 3 came back 2nd print. And I had a Ghost Rider (1967) #1 that came back purple label trimmed top cover. Go over that book with a magnifying glass before resubmitting. That said, your book does look like its in gorgeous shape though.

James, maybe the best way to keep your comics-buying quiet is not to announce it on a KZbin video. But as that horse has not only bolted but is now in the next county, let's focus on what you purchased. I know how much you love GL but my favourite of this lot is the DC Comics Presents issue, not for the Superman/GL team-up but for the Teen Titans preview and the custom Perez label. Now if your fiancee notices a little dip in the joint savings account, take her out for a nice dinner and make sure there's a bunch of flowers on the table when you return home. This may not get you completely in the clear but it will certainly limit the damage. I speak from experience here. Good luck.

I don't have experience w/ PGX, so don't know if lucky or not, but my one PGX is for my Batman #4 (1940) in 3.5. It would likely remain a 3.5 at CGC for this early GA book that otherwise looks so nice. Sometimes you need to count your blessings, so I'm not tempting fate by shipping it out just for a CGC slab, especially since it's for my long-term PC anyway.

Reslabbing a PGX book with another service can be a crap shoot. PGX isn't very good at detecting restoration. You may send in a book you think is a 9.2 and get a 9.2 back, with a purple label! Another reason PGX slabs bring less money on big keys.
