  1. Hello, I submitted a Nm/m high value book for grading. It did receive a CGC 9.8 White. But the book in the holder I received doesn't appear to be mine since it had all 4 corners blunted multiple stress lines that break color and large staple tears. So, my question is how could quality control miss this or when in the critical path of the grading process do you lose camera sight of the book. I am not saying it was switched but it does not appear to be the book I sent in. A mechanical error ticket has been opened the book shipped back to you. Thanks.
  2. Thank you. I meant the first appearance of the storyline.
  3. Can't seem to find out when was the 1st appearance. I am thinking Marvel Spotlight.
  4. There seems to be two Walmart variants for Strange Academy #1. One with blue lettering and one with red. What is the difference and how does it relate to print runs. Thx
  5. *If you submit a CGC-graded collectible that needs to be removed from its original holder by CGC, the collectible will need to go through the certification and encapsulation process again, and there is no guarantee that it will receive the same grade. Just curious why a book graded lets say 9.8 sent in for signature would not receive the same grade. What would cause it to be different. Thx
  6. The 1st appearance is very important since it effects the value of the book. This is serious stuff since it involves a Key character for years to come..... and money.... The reason I brought this up is because sellers on some selling sites, depending on the book they own will tell you their book is the 1st appearance.... X-men 126 is a good example of this situation.....
  7. Thanks. CGC says Hell Arisen 3. But this issue is only a cameo similar to Hulk 180 and ASM 299. Batman 92 is the first full appearance. CGC apparently has it wrong. Lets see what Overstreet says when it comes out...
  8. What does CGC recognize as Punchline's first appearance. Different collectors select different books. Bit confused.
  9. Why does CGC list X-men 125 as first appearance of Mutant X. First full appearance is X-men 126. Analogy would be similar to Hulk 180 and Hulk 181......
  10. CGC is on fire. My modern fast track and Standard are taking 10 calendar days from receiving to shipping.
  11. CGC has an outstanding reputation in the Marketplace. I don't think they want the responsibility or liability or verifying signatures. I also think it is not a service where you can just go out and hire someone. Few people are qualified. Lastly waiting on your VSP would slow down the turnaround times.
  12. Hi Welcome. You should join anyway. Great resource for learning all things relating to comics.
