Wow.  That's a lot of missing cover.

Yes it  is.... I was not happy with grade nor CGC's explanation

I got a Wolverine Limited #1 back from CGC a while back that was graded 9.8 despite the piece missing on the back top corner. CGC graders confirmed that this was a manufacturing error for this particular print run. The small gripper tears are a more common manufacturer defect.

I have a couple magazines that were sent in through MCS for recasing.... months ago.

He still shows up as an active user on my end. Strange…

 

Yes, strange... I tried again and got the "We've looked everywhere" ebay page... which is also weird...

Update.... I closed ebay app and rebooted... everything back the way it should be.... and Adolf is blocked

"Missed it by that much...." Thanks Sigur Ros and Mike for the quick correction... I'll edit my post.

Graded 8/3/22....isn't that before they started designating newsstand?

Good question. I'm not aware of when the designation started and would the designation be for both label and census?

I accepted their best offer on a comic this morning and they paid immediately. I left positive feedback for the quick payment and around 6 hours later I returned home to package the comic for shipment. Right as I finish packaging the comic, I receive a message from the buyer requesting the order to be cancelled. I politely ask for a reason why, and their response was "I changed my mind". Not worth the hassle over a $30 comic so I sent them their refund and immediately blocked them. I noticed after the fact that they listed their recipient name for the shipment as "Adolf Hitler" and their full name on their Ebay account was listed as "Big boi". Likely a shill account just purchasing books and requesting cancellations after receiving positive feedback. Very sketchy if you ask me. I wish there was further action I could take, but Ebay unfortunately does not have an option to report buyers outside of a defined list of circumstances.

He may have retreated back to his bunker. Ebay can't find this user name.

Nothing to see here.... Designation of Newsstand began 9/26/22. These were graded just over a month earlier so the labels are correct. Thanks to Sigur Ros and CGC Mike for the schooling.

Got my first refund request in a very long time.
('item not as described' / 'damaged')

Worried it was damaged via USPS I quickly reached out to the buyer.
After exchanging multiple messages I discovered it was because they didn't agree with CGC's grade of 9.8 once they had it in hand
Received the book back, refunded, and blocked them.

CGC should hire this dude since these days CGC doesn't believe in 9.8 either.

Just opened a box with my ASM 51 that was sent back because of Mechanical Error (debris)

Returned in worse condition with large scuffs on back and more debris on front. Had to call customer service because "Damage in Transit" was grayed out despite delivery date being less than 14 days. Book going back today for another month of waiting. 

Should have a note designating this as a Newsstand edition.

Bought off the rack back in the day...

Do tell?  Unless you’re referring to their fees and potential for schill bidding I’m not sure what you mean. 

I'm just not interested in selling slabbed books on ebay because of all the stories I've heard, including scam artists who do the switcher-roo or claim non delivery, picky buyers who can return or ask for a discount if they don't agree with CGC grade. Plus we all know ebay generally sides with buyers unless one has a strong defense. I have no problem selling raw low value books because even if there is a problem my investment is minimal.

Based on increasing QA QC concerns the normal 14 day TAT for ME currently stands at 123 business days  

CGC should add ME to they're "list of services" and include the TAT.

Keep us posted.

Got my box of 25 1970's comic books back today.... Although CGC does not get 100% regarding any issues, none are worth sending back for the longer and longer wait to be corrected. A few had some minor spots and a few more had minor Newton's rings that would send a any stickler for perfection to the ME (if not the ER). For me, a sigh of relief.

Any reports on the movement of Modern Magazines?  I've got a bunch received 6/30/22

Are Economy books being graded in the parking garage.... ? Takes forever to get them back and a number need returning because of contaminates in the form of dark spots under the front. Unfortunately the spots are difficult to capture on film so no pics available.   Got a box of 25 heading home. Hope they are trouble free. Tired of this back and forth routine. Wish me luck.

Grades and prices? 

As you wish.... first price MCS / second price MCS via ebay. If it wasn't for all the shenanigans on ebay..... sad to say.

DD113 CGC 9.4 ....  $169

DD114 CGC 9.2  ... $425 / $495

DD135 CGC 9.2 ... $89 / $105

DD141 CGC 9.0 ... $99 / $115

DD181 CGC 9.8 ... $225 / $260

A lot of those Batman & Robin centerfolds were removed and hung on the wall

This last week I had (5) slabbed Daredevil sell through MCS (4 sold thru ebay) ... #113,114,135,141 &181. Anyone else seeing a recent increase in sales?

Centerfold attached?
