As long as there are no tears at the staples it sould be considered a natural occurring slant

Finally the truth comes out.... or at least seems that way with half my orders.

Congratulations on getting the Signature Series comic book. The signings were witness by a CGC employee and was in their possession from time of signing until encapsulation. No need to get any further authentication. Please post a picture of the book so that we can see what you have and confirm. PS.... Yes, way better than a COA PSS... https://www.cgccomics.com/signature-series/

Absolutely... just pointing out that case defects come in all shapes, sizes, inside and out. Newton Rings are just one of many issues that one has to be on the lookout for with every fresh box that's delivered.

Treasury bags are 13 1/2" tall, plus 2" flap. How tall are your 1st Editions? @RobHW Edit... Thanks for the update and noting that the Treasury boards are only 13 3/8" tall

Yes, and a good policy. I just wish they would be more descriptive, even if it's just using the word "minor", in cases where there may be just a small scuff or scratch. Kind of leaves the buyer guessing as to how bad the case is since it's more than likely one can't see the case flaws in the scans.

I've got a 3rd week of January order. Couple early Spider-Man in the order that unfortunately will spend a year at CGC. Great news that they are so close to being vaulted at CGC.

I just consigned 25 CGC graded comic books with MCS. All are from the same CGC order. Every one is described on MCS with scuffs with variations of outside front, outside back, outside front and back, outside and inside, etc.... Granted, I saw the scuffs, but they were all minor and not worth the risk to send back to CGC for a fix and I understand that MCS needs to protect their sales from being returned. The QC is just in a sad state. Hope they fix it soon.

Got me mixed up with Stefan_W. My books were not pre-screen. Was awarded a 9.8 but had to send back via Mechanical Error because books arrived with staple tears. CGC turned them into 9.4's

Some of my Economy have left the tracking list... at least there was some movement...

robrobe181 .... all lower case

CGC graded them at 9.8 and I sent back as ME and CGC regraded the books, that they damaged, at 9.4

Over a month and finally my ME shipment has gone out. My two X-Men 1, which were originally graded by CGC at 9.8 have come back to me graded 9.4 due to damage post grade. Not happy.

Not "Q-Tips", but cotton swabs that are used for cleaning such things as electronics. Stiffer and tightly bound (usually on a wooden stick), it shouldn't leave fibers behind if wet with a touch of Naphtha.

Umm... These reps are not graders. She has no business telling you anything about the book's grade.

So if it hasn't happened to you yet what interactions are you having with CGC that makes you so bitter towards them?

If it doesn't bother you, I'd keep as is until you decide it may be time to pass along the collection.... by then CGC may have a new and improved case.

If there was no possibility of damage to the comic book due to the crack then they would not have a reason to regrade. The new cert.# is puzzling and maybe worth a call once you receive the book. They would have to remove the book from the inner sleeve to adjust the archival paper so hopefully that didn't cause an issue on their end.

Why was it sent in for reholder? Mechanical Error?

I think you're confused. The process is slower and profit margins are through the roof because the grading is now outsourced to China and as we all know, the docks have been backed up for quite a while. Books are anchored at sea in hot containers waiting to be unloaded.

Is your presser CGC certified?

You're welcome... and I've got three i's in my ebay handle, so it's close. The Eerie is from my older collection that's back east. Trying to get a friend to send stuff out...little by little, so more 70's stuff heading to ebay (or CGC).

I don't see why not. It's based on Todd's original concept and has his name on it. Problem is that the cover art is so busy that a signature might get lost.... maybe have it signed in the black margin.

My MCS sales dropped off end of May... then 5 sales starting mid August. Lets hope the trend continues.
