So maybe not worth the trouble to send pics to CGC if it is indeed the inside cover... would be nice if grader notes had specified because like I mentioned, I don't see tanning on the four front covers.

Interesting.... considering how tough CGC is on grades these days all four of mine should be at least 9.6, if not 9.8's as well. The tanning would only be common with this particular book if it was caused by something other than poor storage.

Thanks Mike.... I'll get those pics to you as soon as I can,

I can see that being the case.... Fortunately, I'm Southwest and my books are happy for that.

@CGC Mike ... Hi Mike, I've never argued with CGC about grades I've gotten on my books, although there are times when I'm puzzled at a 9.6 that shows no defects. That being said, I just received the four copies of Spider-Man 2099 #1 and I can't see why the grader decided there was "light cover tanning" on all four copies. First off, all four books look identical so seems odd that they would all have the exact amount of tanning. Is it possible that the grader was not familiar with this book, which has a very colorful cover, and mistook something in the artwork for tanning? I know CGC usually doesn't veer from the given grade, but I think there is a mistake in this instance. I'm not sure what to do about this and don't want to incur more expence on these books if CGC doesn't agree with my concern.

Looks like Magazines are starting to move along.. 6/30/22 Magazine Modern now GEI 2/16/23

Modern submission 2/6/23 .... shipped 2/14/23. Got to wonder how much quality time is spent grading these books at such a fast turnaround. A bit suspicious when all four copies of Spider-man 2099 #1 came back with the identical grade of 9.4 (white pages) and grader notes ... "light cover tanning" These were stored with a couple thousand other comics from the same era and at least a couple hundred have been graded with no tanning issues. Guess I'll know more when they show up next week.

2/03 ... Shipped ..... Very disappointed with grade.... grader notes mentions "piece out left bottom of back cover" .... I know I haven't seen the book for over a year but thought I'd remember that defect.

2/01/23 .... Moved to Grading/Quality Control

5/12/22 Economy hit GEI recently

Really no other choice than CCS for a post signing press.

Thanks for the news. I wasn't expecting my 6/20 mag submission to be graded for a year + so I'll tack on a few more months and hope the new case is worth the wait.

I would also consider the age of the book. Newer books with OW may be a sign of storage in a poor environment (or the grader wearing tinted glasses) . With older books it's part of the natural aging process.

What was the given grade? If you feel brave, and this was delivered to you recently from CGC, you can send back as a Mechanical Error and have them press that corner back into shape. You can call or email first with pics and explanation. If you do send it back I would use a sharpie to circle the problem spot(s).

Perfect place to post this.... I understand you're looking for an opinion regarding just the top right color break, which is fine, but adding photos of the back as well would help get opinions of an overall grade since the grade involves the condition of the entire book. The more issues, the less impact that top corner will have on the overall grade.

Happy New Year Mike Thank you and your crew for all your dedication and help. Here's a wish for less Quality Control issues in 2023.... and beyond.

Don't think that's possible with their current submission form. Seems like an option that could be offered but imagine the screw ups with different tiers for the same book or mix and match within an order.

Bought 56 copies of Wolverine Limited #1, wholesale thru Bud Plant, back in the day..... Nuff said.
