CGC Prices at the Cons
Is anyone else angry over this???
I recently went to Wizard World Chicago to get some modern books signed and graded. I had purchased the $50.00 10 pack of CGC signature witness passes for 10 books from Wizard. I had gotten six books signed by Turner and was going to get the last four signed by Loeb later in the day. When I went to get the books turned into CGC, they explained that because the books were signed, they would cost extra to grade. Now this just pisses me off. Normally a modern book, without the 20% discount is $16.00, at the convention, they are $22.00. Here is my kicker, signed yellow label grading at the con, $34.00 a book. AND CGC did not even do the witnessing, it was a Wizard representitive that did it. So why the markup for something they did nothing for. Oh and this one got me too, one book had three signatures cause the passes only count one book per pass, per table and three of the artist were at the table, so they all counted as one pass. Anyway, CGC charged an extra $5.00 per signature. That book cost $44.00 to get graded, luckly it came back as a 9.8, but still, over $200 to grade 6 modern books. I love CGC but that is overboard. Oh of the 6, 3 were 9.6 and 3 were 9.8's. Heres a list
Wolverine: Origins 1 9.8 Turner SS
Fathom 10 VIP edition 9.8 Turner, Turnbull, and Krul SS
Supergirl 1 9.8 Turner SS
Supergirl 2 9.6 Turner SS
Civil War Frontline 1 Sketch variant 9.6 Turner SS
Witchblade 100 VIP edition 9.6 Turner SS
