The WORST CGC Resubmit FAIL Ever!

[@coolworldpopculture]

So much math to consider when submitting. Even at next-to-nothing values, enough of them in a row can be painful.

[@ThePinkfloyd51]

Another fantastic video, Bry! I always appreciate how much passion and effort you put into your content-it’s clear you genuinely care about the comic community and sharing valuable insights. The way you broke down cracking & re-pressing was so well done and really got me thinking about it. Your knowledge of the market and your tips for collectors are always spot-on. It’s refreshing to see someone who balances investment advice with a love for the stories and artwork that make comics so special. Thanks for continuing to provide such high-quality content-I’m already looking forward to the next video! Keep up the amazing work!

[@BrysComics]

Thank you so much for the kind words!! I truly appreciate it…

[@joe3019772008]

man that sucks. pretty much why i am kind of not in a big hurry to have my books sent off for slabbing and grading.

[@tikertiker2]

CCS, the pressing company CGC uses, is terrible. You are forced to use them if the book has been signed, or like in this case, a pedigree, to retain the signature series and pedigree label status. But they give me the feeling they are press and done. No attention to details, no attention to certain defects that need fixing, nothing.

[@rogerfleming1782]

Did the cgc verification site take off when the book was stabbed? Didn't see it the last couple I looked up. Thx Bry

[@justinreddick2615]

Always trying to bring into to the masses. Respect it and great vibes man. Keep killing it.

[@bbachner2]

Another great video! Learned a lot. Thank you!

[@turkeybacon1914]

That pedigree story should be a movie

[@clelandwarrenjr850]

Thanks for your insight as always.

[@greedygoat71]

Great info as usual Bry. Keep the videos coming!

[@SonOfCrom-1932]

Thanks for the info Bry...good stuff to consider!

[@GoldGauntletComix]

They're a great video Bry! I have mostly stayed out of the CDC game. I'm going mostly Raw.I have a strategy behind it. With that being said, I still watch the market for CgC to see where everything is and how price they're going up and down the controversies etc. so thank you for explaining the CPR as well as some other great facts about this. I guess when I get ready to do CDC I'm a research research research and research again so thank you

[@paytonardoin688]

I bought an ASM 252 newsstand raw at a 7.5, cleaned/pressed/submitted it and got a 9.6. I saw a few other defects and was tempted to CPR it, but waited until the CGC signing with Tom Defalco and Ron Frenz. I CPR’d it and got a 9.8 dual sig. Shortly after I traded it for an Avengers 4 CGC 5.5 with many pressable defects. I was fortunate to turn an all in investment of about $350 to a roughly 2k book with room to grow. WITH THAT SAID, I will be waiting for the market to turn around before repeating the process.

[@BrysComics]

Wow incredible results! Now rinse, repeat, and quit your day job lol

[@nemogriffen]

Part of me wonders if the book would have sold for the same price if it wasn't pressed and cleaned. There would still be a hit to take, just not as bad.

[@BrysComics]

Yeah I think you’re right, it is the same book after all…

[@ASUSunDevil-u9t]

Heritage made over $7k for selling one book...I'm in the wrong business :)

[@matrix_comix]

Heritage is literally known for their insider shill bids and unethical dealings. I wouldn’t put much into their earnings.

[@joelb1]

I’m boycotting any videos about CGC.

[@COMICBOOKCOLLECTORKING]

Me too my friend!

[@genx_comics]

That hurts big time! Great analysis! I never win these giveaways, but glad I’m in the comments to geek out! Good job

[@silverflash7773]

A great review of all the factors that go into grading and auctions. Very eye opening! Thanks, Bry!

[@JohnNelson1]

Love the video, great job again! Your helping me know more about what I need to know.

[@dbulls33]

Always digging your helpful information on this channel

[@sidneyrivera3578]

Thanks for the video Bry. Such an emotional hobby. Keep grinding bro ✌️

[@DrAnthonyCaruso]

Great explanation of the positives and negatives of CPR.!!

[@unkle_Enkil]

Great detailed information, on top of your game as always Honest, thoughtful and helpful. Thanks bry.

[@BrysComics]

Much appreciated!

[@terrygillard1672]

When it's a big value book, I'm too scared to even think about cracking it open, lol

[@DarynYamada]

Good information. Thanks Bry!

[@enchman008]

Your stories are always great thanks

[@CaptCanuckles]

Excellent breakdown. Cheers as always!

[@paytonardoin688]

I bought a raw ASM 252 newsstand 7.5, cleaned/pressed/submitted it and got a 9.6. Saw a few more flaws, waited to cpr, then took the chance during a CGC signing of Ron Frenz and Tom Defalco. CPR’d the book, got it to a 9.8 dual signed. Shortly after I was able to trade with a dealer for an Avengers 4 CGC 5.5 with many pressable defects. I was fortunate to turn a $350 total investment into a roughly 2k book with room to get more. WITH THAT SAID, I will definitely be waiting till the market turns around before repeating the process.

[@klock149]

This video post made me realize that I probably want to just keep my books raw and not pay those CGC fees. I had no idea the cost was this high. Wow 😮 - I have never submitted a book for grading and I probably never will. (My 67 age might come into play here). Your video was enlightening to say the least. Thanks again Bry

[@franciscomarquez3678]

Another lesson learned, thanks Bry.

[@mrorange00]

Thanks for the insight

[@DavidS-b8f]

Thanks for the video R.I.P. Junie great story

[@Toeasy1234-r4x]

I literally just had this same conversation on the weekend watching the hertiage auctions and 100% would recommend everyone considering to sell to hit you up first bro, hassle free, fair and cash quick. I personally rather use the credit on you're website.

[@joshuas9740]

Really interesting story in this one - thanks!

[@MintHunterComics]

I hate to say this out loud, but this made me feel a lot better 😂 Hey! at least their crack and resub got a grade bump! I've been getting nothing been grade SLUMPS in all of '24

[@Hupspring]

I didn't realize there were so many fees for big books, and not just a flat fee but a percentage!

[@SwampThingNJ]

I genuinely don’t understand why people take these books to Heritage when they can just sell to you

[@dandelatorre1870]

I own a few CGC Pedigree comics but I have a question, most have Platinum labels but at least one has only a standard blue label with a mention of what the collector is. The one that has the blue label is from Susha News.

[@xevious3209]

Sad fires + sad comic news = 😢

[@JSSBrooklyn]

Thank you helpful and informative. Appreciate the video

[@philipmikulas5217]

I hope to get some high level pressing and cleaning skills this year.

[@CedRed]

That pedigree story was awesome!!

[@ginobozzi3954]

I would assume a lot of collectibles got destroyed in this fire. Comics, movie memorabilia, vintage toys, and so on. A lot of Hollywood people live in those areas and you have to assume that had large size collections.

[@BrysComics]

I know that’s what I’m thinking too…

[@TempleoftheDarkPartsoftheMind]

Not to mention all the original art. Guillermo Del Toro's house was spared but he mentioned getting out some select art works just in case, but not all of it. His home is like a museum and I am sure his isn't the only one.

[@Demerol666]

Mel Gibson lost his house, who knows what movie memorabilia he had there from the ton of movies he was in.

[@djlifestyle]

So many people lose everything what they love it seems unreal today The story of the past still feels like the world of today never changes

[@rederik99]

Crazy stories, very interesting looking into the math.

[@crossbronxcollectibles9127]

What an amazing story of brothers

[@kush2.061]

Always looking forward to your videos thanks again.

[@JimChurchSr-lu2pq]

Makes people think when you do the math like that -thanks Bry

[@the4deadlyvenoms]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Forza_Juventus_48]

Great video Bry! I have a ASM book that looks like a solid candidate for CPR but the value is not there until the market recovers.

[@breakbeatz309]

Great video! Sad story.

[@FireflyComics]

Great advice

[@HotZone_Collects]

1. BRUH! 2. good info on evaluating if you should even go through with this

[@scotchandyoda3925]

That's a cool story about the promise collection

[@HolyDiver614]

Man being an investor is like timing the stock market. One movie or series can increase or decrease the value of a comic. Who would have thought the "funny books" would hold that much swing.

[@DavidClark-vu3dw]

After seeing the apocalyptic fires going on in California I immediately thought that there must have been a huge loss of vintage comic books in those fires. Did you lose your house in a fire before you moved to Montana?

[@linalleybri]

That is some big money with big fees

[@BradHeidt-s2w]

Wow!!! Just Wow!!! 😮

[@cowbelltv4865]

Thx for this video! Interesting story.

[@TempleoftheDarkPartsoftheMind]

I recently purchased a slabbed book that hadn't been cleaned or pressed and when I shared it online one of the first posts was that I should crack it. I really looked the book over and weighed the fees and figured it wouldn't be worth it at this time unless I just wanted a 4.0 to get maybe a 4.5 or 5.0 for my own collection. It looks like the book in your video is someone taking a gamble that didn't pan out. In different conditions it might have been well worth the cost and effort. People like to gamble though, I mean Las Vegas is built upon things not panning out.

[@BrysComics]

Absolutely, I like to gamble within reason myself. Maybe they just got cold feet having so much money tied up…

[@kevinmckee4673]

A little patience would also help.

[@ninthstate114]

4 percent for pressing?! Are you kidding me?! Guarantee they are doing nothing more than I can do with my $150 press at home. Those should be flat fees…same as grading. Tiers for age of book is fine, but basing fees on value is just a con.

[@BrysComics]

You would likely spend more time on it than them…

[@monkeyideas]

Makes me wonder what to do with all my comics after this fire.

[@BrysComics]

Fire proof safe, insurance policy, and get out quick.

[@bestcore1214]

Lately I've just been enjoying the process of cleaning and pressing my pc books. I'm not even submitting..just cleaning them up and flattening them for mylars. Enjoying the hobby!

[@SBAVoltronProdt]

If they were to keep it I totally get it because it does look better without that sticker but as a resell, you’re right it doesn’t make much sense

[@brclar78]

Who determines the value ? The market isn't set in stone on value,A cgc grade elevates a value but only on certain books and on others they crash hard cause of fomo spec ,movie /TV hype

[@BrysComics]

Whoever submits the books declares the value.

[@zachbrobst9473]

The Promise collection story is so sad. I can see why it gets a premium. Shout out Junie 🙏

[@BrysComics]

🙏🏻

[@justinmyers5209]

What a cool book to analyze! I would buy it. Thank you Bry

[@garyl5128]

Wasn't there a Superman No1 that lost over a million after it was just bought and sold via heritage recently?

[@clintstevens6831]

interesting info, thanks

[@DocReasonable]

So glad I never got involved in the nightmare that is CGC.

[@geekimusprime]

They bought that book at the recent peak! It was a successful CPR, but it’s a down market, so not surprised it sold for way less.

[@kirbycarpenter9775]

The book does look better with the sticker removed. I think the person who sold this to market felt sickness in their stomach.

[@BigMoneyGripMCV]

another crack/resubmit scenario... you could have a 9.4 worth say 10k with some non-color breaking spine ticks. Crack it, iron out the ticks and the book is perfect. Send it in, they drop it, now it's an 8.0 worth $100. Anything is possible. Get insurance if you can?

[@BrysComics]

True. I don’t think there’s an insurance for cpr, unless they damaged the book

[@JekLongwalker]

Was watching a Minthunter video earlier today and he was adamant about never cracking slabs. I think there’s some meat on that bone, though.

[@efexlegend9682]

I would much rather sell to a collector when the time comes than see everything go to auction

[@dankocher3528]

Removing that sticker is a travesty. It's part of the history of the pedigree. The kids were making sense out of the Batman appearances not coinciding with the issue numbers of Detective Comics. These were the oldest books in the collection and likely the first that these kids owned, and that sticker gives invaluable insight into their collecting mindset. Removing the sticker slices off a piece of history.

[@kevinjameson7817]

Good information

[@canadiansurvivalist7222]

One day I'm taking home a bry slab

[@judesjunkcomics3283]

Montana huh? I am next door in Idaho!

[@GymLeaderRay]

Oh ouch

[@evstites794]

Great video!

[@anthonymacrae2229]

Great info

[@aaronwing78]

Ill take that book to the dump for him.

[@CosmicRobb]

Big money books selling at discount makes me feel for the seller for sure. Stomach in throat type feeling

[@shytweedabone2663]

Helpful!!

[@BenjaminGidley]

Stop letting CGC run the market

[@nickkeller8535]

Wow so cool!

[@FroyGonJinn]

Rough to be a re-seller, but for PC it's worth it.

[@ccsportsfan7886]

some much to think about

[@Caseshells123]

Auctions are losing money You can get great deals

[@joshuaparr9308]

Love the content!!!! I just really started getting into collecting. Hope I can win a slab one day, that would be nuts!!!!

[@BrysComics]

Good luck on the givey!

[@mi_comix_closet6528]

Hey Bry, I just sent 9 books to be cracked possibly to resubmit.

[@ahammy1]

Cool book still

[@CHRIS-qr9dg]

Do you only buy big Grails

[@DarrenCarman]

I think you really need to know what you are doing before attempting a crack/press/resubmit

[@corso_kid]

Balls of steel, to cpr big boy books

[@haunt_in_a_hurry]

It's my birthday!

[@luke-space]

Play the game and don’t play yourself

[@epochcatharsis129]

I had an awesome technicolor bonfire with my collection. Good riddance to a garbage hobby.
