I had a nice looking Ronin 6 come back a 9.2 with "moderate scuffing to cover".... along the spine on back. Sorry, no pics since it is at CGC for the third time with either debris or Newton Rings, or both... trying to get it fixed since January 2022.

Question about multiple sigs witnessed
jokiing replied to Sebastsk8's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
Might depend on the show but at a very small show CGC had a tamper proof bag that the book was sealed into and it was given back to me, after a signing. If that's the case there would have to be a CGC rep at each signing location to remove comic book from bag for multiple signings and then return to a new tamper proof bag. When done you bring the bags to CGC booth and they confirm that the bags are sealed and then they process your order. You pay the artists for their sigs (unless it's Joe Staton) but only pay the one fee for the Signature grading on multiple signed books. -
Help - Comic Cover Stuck to Comic Bag - Tape?
jokiing replied to Upgrayedd2's topic in Comics General
As I mentioned, I have used lighter fluid on blister pack cardboard with success but not on comic books. I would think different printing methods give different results. Experimenting is very good advise. -

Hopefully not among the many banded products here in California. -
Help - Comic Cover Stuck to Comic Bag - Tape?
jokiing replied to Upgrayedd2's topic in Comics General
I knew Joey would come through with a solution. Particularly like the hairdryer step. Is there a preferred source for naphtha other than "lighter fluid". I use this for cleaning many things around the house and at work. -
Help - Comic Cover Stuck to Comic Bag - Tape?
jokiing replied to Upgrayedd2's topic in Comics General
If the tape is not dried out but won't peel off easily you can try a bit of lighter fluid.... or maybe someone knows of a better solvent. Be sure to use backing so that it doesn't get onto interior pages. I've used this method on blister cards with some success. Doesn't seem to stain and evaporates quickly. Good luck. -

Does any one else have a weird comic book cover?
jokiing replied to BigLou2's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
Ideal if you're reading your comic book on the john and you discover the roll is nothing but cardboard. -

Where in the world was the Quality Control at CGC???
jokiing replied to Wally's Comics's topic in Comics General
Hasn't gotten better. Recent box of 25 had 23 go back... 20 because of large areas of Newton rings. Last order of 100 books had 16 go back with maybe 12 having large NR. -
How will this news help all my Economy and Magazine submissions? TAT's will probably increases.

One Order, Multiple Boxes?
jokiing replied to Le Chat Noir's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
If they weren't flat rate boxes I'd say tape the boxes together and ship as one. Otherwise, find one bigger box for your smaller boxes. Will more than likely be cheaper than medium flat rate times five. Less chance of major confusion on the receiving end. -
Major Bulge and Gaps in CGC Magazine Slabs
jokiing replied to Barbossal's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
The magazine cases are not sealed on the sides but there shouldn't be a large gap. You can contact customer service and if they see a problem you can send it back for a no-fee reholder. As for not being centered, the holder is designed for all the different dimensions of magazines so smaller ones are put off to the right and there are plastic holders keeping the magazine in place. -
Per MattM CS "In order to send in MEs, they must first be approved by our customer service team. Please send us an image of each book in question showing the reason for the return AND the certification number of the slab IN THE SAME IMAGE. This will allow our team to process your ME request as quickly as possible. If books are sent in for ME submissions but not approved ahead of time, this could result in reholder fees to your account. "

Where in the world was the Quality Control at CGC???
jokiing replied to Wally's Comics's topic in Comics General
Good to hear.... Unfortunately, when I finally got through my boxes of 98 slabs 16 are going back. Mostly from large areas of Newton rings, a batch from one box with debris and one mislabeled ( should have been Canadian Price Variant). Good news is all the cases were in excellent shape... no scratches or scuffs which had plagued my last few orders. -
Resubmitting CGC graded books for pressing
jokiing replied to jelundy's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
Books that I've had pressed have come back with "light bends to cover". Financially, not worth it in my opinion, even with a couple point bumps. Grader notes usually don't list all the defects.
