It’s amazing how many they miss and people grading them are unaware as well. I’ve seen probably a couple of dozen examples not graded correctly and many go unnoticed. I’m on the east coast and talking to people at my LCS about them people know of the Star Wars variants but other than that have no clue about any of the other 30/35 Cent variants.

Here’s a couple of Very High Grade Star Wars 35 centers up for auction on the bay. Both are signed by Roy Thomas. I don’t think I’ve ever owned a signed Price Variant. I was just wondering, anyone’s thoughts on signed copies, increases value or doesn’t matter? Also, anyone have any Price Variants signed?

A real beauty!

I respect everyone’s opinions, it’s what I asked for. I believe it helped get to the next phase and having someone like @CGC Mike was greatly needed and appreciated to help get a 2nd look. I didn’t know or seek him out, he was tagged in the thread by @CAHokie. I Thank him too because I wouldn’t have known to reach out to him for any help. @VintageComics and @CGC Mike basically said be patient and let it play out. I hope this doesn’t happen again and I’m sorry for anyone it has or may have happened to with no resolution. I personally had No idea what to do next when they said we viewed video and there was no magazine and basically told to move on. I was upset to say the least and I’m still apprehensive. Anyway, Next phase is compensation, I have no idea what that will be, I just got made aware they made a determination on Friday. They said 2 things, the person opening the package inadvertently discarded the book and they would make it right with me, what that means, I have to wait in see. I’ll keep everyone posted. Again, I appreciate your time and well wishes towards a positive outcome, everyone’s comments, opinions and suggestions matter. I’m reading and taking it all in. I hope everyone has a great weekend. Be safe! John

I wrote outside the cardboard, 1 magazine on that sub and 2 comics outside that cardboard. How it was missed and discarded is anyone’s guess. I didn’t view the video, so I’ll never know. I understand your statement and it was 3 items total. If I was opening packages regardless of time constraints anything flat would’ve examined. I’m very thorough. That is why I was in great panic knowing I sent in 3 items and being told maybe I forgot to add the magazine. What if there was no one available like CGC Mike, no video or the help of this chat board members. How can I know for sure if this is the whole truth? At first I was told video was viewed and there was No magazine and questioned if I sent it in. Upon more investigation they came to another conclusion, I’ll never know what it was. Believe me I’m still upset this happened but also like Roy mentioned be Thankful there was some resolution. I’ll see how things proceed. Thanks again!

I want to Thank @CGC Mike for helping this get relooked at (I thought I was going crazy when they at first said maybe you didn’t send it in, and they had first looked at video), I was hoping they found it. I’m still upset it was accidentally discarded. But I Thank you greatly to at least get a relook and figured out what happened. Also, everyone here who read and commented with their thoughts and opinions. I greatly appreciate it. Your posts helped this get attention to have it relooked at as well. Also, I said previously, I have a lot to think about in regards to future submissions. I have no idea how the next process is going to go towards compensation so we’ll see. Anyway, Thank you all! John

I’m not sure what’s going to happen. It was Minty, I declared $4000, could have been a lot more. It’s what I was hoping, sent in for a clean/press/grading. I had it many years and it’s the first magazine I ever submitted.

Here was the book -

UPDATE! — Hi John, Thank you for your patience with us as we investigated this further. I sent all of the information you provided as far as how you had packaged your items over to our Operations Manager and he went through the security footage frame by frame to make sure we got every possible view. After reviewing it multiple times, it does appear that the person receiving the package did inadvertently discard the book believing it to be just part of the packing materials. Since the packing slip was not on the outside of the cardboard, the receiver didn't realize there was another book inside the box. We deeply apologize for this error and will definitely make this right with you. All of the information about your book and the order will be sent over to our Claims Specialist and we will proceed with a claim for compensation on your book. The claims specialist will reach out to you once she has all the information and explain how the process will work and all of the details regarding the compensation. Since it is already late in the day on Friday, she probably won't be able to reach out to you until next week. If you haven't received an email from her by this time next week, please let me know. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out any time. Thank you,

Ouch!

Thank you for your comments. I posed that question to CGC Mike. Do you have video of my box after it was opened, where it was taken and discarded, if somehow my magazine was left inside. Was it then found away from video sight, discarded or at that point taken by someone finding it because it was away from video sight. Questions I have but I’ll wait until I hear their explanation of the events that happened. All I can say was there were 3 items in the box, 2 comics packed separately and 1 magazine packed separately. The invoices were taped to their respective order. And sandwiched together in one box.We will see.

I also just want to Thank everyone who commented, took the time to read through all the posts and whether you believe me or not. I appreciate your opinions either way. Definitely a lot to think about going forward. All the best to everyone! John

I hear you. I’m not interested in doing any of that. I really just want or wanted my books graded. But I’m not going to let anyone walk over me. This was the first magazine I ever sent in. I know what has happened so far has opened my eyes to do a lot of things different.

Honest question, why would they be harassed if they did nothing wrong? I don’t think an employee error or in worst case a theft is going to end up on Access Hollywood. But I know what was there and being told to basically off with no recourse is unacceptable. That’s basically saying we’re batting 100%, Ted Williams on steroids and good luck striking us out.

I don’t know if that’s the case or not. Only video can show the action of any employees and how they handled things. But It may have to come down to that. I tend to not believe theft but possible error on how it was separated and catalogued. Why should I or any submitter be at fault of their error. As of now, the only update I received is they are now reviewing the tape again going Frame by Frame. How long that takes, I have No idea. So I wait for an update.

Maybe it does, People may just not be a member here or on social media. So it just may not be public in those cases but I’m sure it’s minimal and they do all they can do this doesn’t happen. But something happened to my magazine. I also know of another horror story I’ll share down the road. Also, In another thread, CGC told the poster his books were lost and CGC Mike helped and they were miraculously found.

In that context, No. But a lone employee making minimum wage, they had a skeleton crew working as many of their employees were in New York. I put nothing past an individual. I just watched 50 videos of people stealing candy at Halloween, on ring cameras all around the country, taking bowls as well and most were adults even in the company of children. I’m not saying that happened but I put nothing past anyone. If only there was video footage? Hmmm…

I agree that happens in some instances and no one knows me and may think that could be the case. Unfortunately I wish it was. However, I had all 3 items laid out, went to another room and grabbed 2-3 Magazine boards, brought back to the table and placed the magazine in a magazine bag. Double or triple boarded it and sandwiched it up between cardboard. I then packaged the 2 comics up. I laid them together and wrapped them both up around wrap. Two orders together. Just a fact.

This certainly has made me think how to proceed going forward. They also make you think you’re crazy when you know you did something. I hope you get a resolution as well.
