  1. How many pages to the marvel golden record comics?
  2. I can no longer see my submissions from over 8 months ago and SINCE THEY'RE NOT GRADED YET, I don't have the invoice number to check the status. Please help. Thanks!
  3. Nothing I do works. The CGC site is not allowing me to do anything including checking out. If CGC figures it's fine by them, I'll sell the majority of the books I was going to slab without slabbing them. It is only logical as I want to feel I'm not losing out. Many books I was going to slab really could do without slabbing anyway. I'm sure many others would logically feel the same way.
  4. CGC does quantify amount of color touch up in grader notes and defines their use of slight, moderate and extensive. In the case of my Amazing Fantasy pictured earlier, grader notes describe restoration as follows: color touch 1” x 1” C-2 = Slight/Mod, re-glossing B-1 = (Slight), reinforcement to centerfold C-1 = (Slight), year seals to cover C-1 = (Slight).
  5. I believe I read that CGC has graded, since the year 2000, almost 4 million comics. That’s a lot of comics! I have no idea how many graders there are or how well they’re trained, but I believe I read that there are 3 graders and then a final grader who determines what the true grade is. This is important because a lot of people are relying on their expertise and putting a lot of money on it, both in paying for grading and relying on those grades when buying those comics. But when I think it through, it seems to me, that graders doing this job, doing a lot of the same thing constantly as a full time job, plus with 4 graders on every comic, that doesn’t mean they won’t ever make an error, but it should make it that much more difficult to be off by much. So in that vein, common words like “slight” and “small” can’t mean the exact opposite. These are opinions using language to describe what these experts are viewing. I’d find it difficult to think these professional graders don’t know what slight and small means vs. other measurements like extensive. Surely, they have standards for these issues. Thanks for listening.
  6. Thanks a lot for everyone’s comments & advice. I only wanted to point out CGC uses the phrase “Slight/ Mod. Does slight mean what slight implies?
  7. Thanks for the suggestions. I posted the pictures here. There are pictures before being slabbed and after.
  8. The comic has tons of eye appeal and will gladly email pictures to whoever wants to see the book. Harvey0154@yahoo.com
