Looks like you got some bubble wrap action though. Sounds like there can be inconsistent packaging, especially with just one slab. I spoke to Erin today and they’ll be making things right. Appreciate the responses!

Hey Matt, thanks for that detail. Good to know that even with one slab, they usually have better shipping standards. For a better reference pic for the community (in case this happens to one of you) here's another one... zero protective wrap of any kind or insulated bubble wrap. Just the outer plastic bag, invoice and a flyer + the lovely mailer. Again, I'm sure they'll make it right (fingers crossed), and I really appreciate the quick replies!

Oh for sure. That was my thought, I'm sure it was pristine when they shipped it out, just a little surprised that they used a standard mailer that provided very little rigidity other than that of the slab itself. I've had books slabbed before via my LCS but this was my first go at my own private submission. A test of sorts, but I think I'll stick to the LCS... Perhaps the packaging is a little more robust when mailing back multiple submissions? Anyways, I appreciate the responses. A very small problem to have in the grand scheme of things. Sounds like they'll do their best to make it right which is all I can ask. Thanks again, guys!

Hi folks - Sorry for not posting here first, my first post was just a few min ago with regards to a cracked slab that I received back from my first CGC submission. But that aside (and thanks for any comments you may have on that) I'm a sucker for any ASM, FF or DD from the silver age. Anything mid-grade or a tad better will do. I'm one of those weirdos that prefers ungraded books for the most part to read, but I do enjoy a graded book here and there of my favorites. Anyways, thanks for having such a great online community, hopefully it gets better from here! Jim

Hi folks - In a nutshell, not new to the hobby but first time submitting a comic for grading directly to CGC vs. going through my LCS. I picked something not terribly valuable to test the direct submission process and in short, I'm a little disappointed by the lack of protection CGC's individual slab mailers provide. Basically, it took a pretty substantial "ding" and I'm left with a corner cracked on the case, and the two halves of the slabs are pretty loose on this corner. Has anyone dealt with something like this before? I did a search and found a lot of "damage case" topics but not anything direct from CGC. I paid extra to expedite the grading so I'm hoping this doesn't cost anything extra out of pocket to be re-slabbed for something totally out of my control. I already sent off a message to them directly but thought I'd ask here as well. Thanks in advance.
