ive just acquired a foil cover comic and it came with imperfections, the vendor states that these are from the mfg process and should not be dinged if submit for grading.... ive asked my fellow forum members their thoughts in the section below, but wonder what CGC stance is for foil imperfections?

after looking at other foil books and markings, ive decided to consider the issue closed and complete with the vendor... ive learned a valuable lesson the hard way... no the markings are not terrible, but what i got does seem to fit the description of what was advertised.... i know fully understand to ensure im getting what i hope to be getting i need to make sure to see actual images of the product, and not stock images and description.... yes looking over the book several more times, some might consider my original objections 'nit picking'.... but when i put out money expecting something and get a curve ball, even a small one, isnt exactly the easiest to handle... i made sure to step back, take my personal feelings out of it, and look at it strictly as a business transaction... did i get what the description said... yes.... was there wiggle room on the overall condition just saying Near Mint, yes, and know fully understand that.... ive attached zoomed out images of the front and back so all can see... i would still appreciate thoughts on what i could of done differently to handle this situation, so not only i learn, maybe someone else just reading learns too... Thank You-

i would really be awesome if someone from CGC could confirm the stance of grading with 'Foil Imperfections'

the response i got was can anyone confirm this stance? ive asked them if they would be willing to show me images of the books they 'have' with scuffs just like what my books have, to put my mind at ease, as i looked for same books with grades 9.6-9.8 and couldnt find any with markings like mine.... that way when i submit for grading i wont get dinged for the imperfections....

no returns, but backed by the ebay guarantee ive immediately reached out via ebay message earlier today moments after opening the box they condition they have listed thou is Brand New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. See the seller’s listing for full details. this isnt perfect condition imo, im hoping to hear back, but im reaching out here to get other opinions on the matter.... IF i saw this in person, or they vendor used actual images i doubt i would of gotten this book, and kept looking, but its a reputable vendor, so i think ill get taken care of in the end... hopfully

just got a book today ebay delivery from a vendor using stock images stating it was Near Mint... there are some noticeable paint breaking scratches.... would that Near Mint status still be valid? or should i be requesting a replacement/refund? attached are the images of the book, they are easily feel-able as well i know Near Mint allows for some small imperfections, but color breaking marks?

I've got a few...

@Kevin Boyd I just saw that the BTTF Crew is now slated for MegaCon 2024, but i can only find info that there is a panel on Thursday.... the dates (Thurs? Fri? Sat? Sun?) and autograph options are not yet posted is there any way to get this info so i can make sure i get what i need... i was already going but now SUPER PUMPED!

where are you located? i understand that tomorrow is the last day to have things in your hands to sign. im interested in sending a JJs Comics BTTF for sigs for Michael, Christopher, Tom and James.... and if i need to ON the book to you... trying to find out the practically of that?

found one for those still looking https://capturedcollectible.com/

are there any facilitators for the Portland show next month? ive for a BTTF Comic that needs for sigs but im in FL and well.... its on the other corner of the map for me...

any CGC facilitators to submit to, to get sigs and grading?

good afternoon, i got an email just the other day from CGC about an upcoming signing event for a BRZRKR Comic and Mr. Reeves....i didnt see any other posts on the forum about this, so im asking here... as its not open to individuals, ive contacted my local stores, and they arent choosing to participate... that being said, i need to locate a retailer that is, that i can work with... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

call it morbid curiosity..... it may not be worth much, but its the very first comic i got with the intention of keeping it in the best condition i could and it would make me rich later!..... granted i might of only been like 10 back in 93' so what did i know..... in any event, ive kept it still in the bag, corners could of been kept better.... but for having it for 25 years.... just looking for thoughts on what this might grade out for if i were to send it in?

either this thread is fully of youngins that know nothing about truly terrible superhero movies from the past Masters of the Universe or we are sticking to the more recent? Green Lanturn

recently attended megacon 2019. and took part in the 80 years of Batman Event. my and my brother each got a set of 3 variant DC1000 edition (Jay Anacleto Trade Dress Variant, Mico Suayan Trade Dress Variant, and Scorpion Comics Black Blank Variant covers) each book was signed by every creator there at the special event This special event Signatures Include Greg Capullo, Mico Suayan, Peter Tomasi, James Tynion IV, Tom King, Brian Azzarello, Mark Brooks, Mitch Gerads, Josh Williamson, Clay Mann, Marguerite Bennett and Tim Sale. all were sent off for SS-CGC, didnt realize my camera photo was so blurry... ive got other photos, but this one has them all... would love to hear thoughts.....

unless a new is set up for this year, fairly sure they are still allowed, just like all events they will be searched before entering.

now that Detective Comics #1000 is out, and all the comic variants seem to be known, is it possible to find out what the DC1000 variant covers are for the package? with the listing saying a Black Blank Cover Variant, leads me to think its maybe the Scorpion Comics Variants, as there happens to be 3.... thanx

with the desktop verion the DB is saved to your computer, so you dont have to worry about their site being down, you can also make backups, and even export the DB into a number of different formats, like xml, csv, and even delimited text, that will also include all the fields from the DB or select ones, so you can move to a different platform or just have that backup for piece of mind readily at your disposal... i also saw questions about storing and purchase cost and date info, there's a tab for that too... you could, depending on the lvl you wanted to go with this, make up your own barcode system, add the BC to each bag, or maybe just for the ones that are too old for the UPC to be in the DB, for ease of tracking once in the App DB, using the user defined fields... its got loads of possibilites

have you ever had a Con coming up, and you see a Comic Creator that you would like to have something signed by? but now you have to go through your collection, and hope you have a quick way to see every book that creator was involved with? i like many of you used to use the old excel, but found it lacking... it only had the data in it that i put, and had no way of growing unless i configured it... i tried the free version of Comic Collector from Collectorz.com and wont turn back.... its a DB driven app, that works on both PC, Mobile or over the web, i use both the PC and Mobile versions.... much of the comic info and details is drawn from the central DB (see images for examples) but also lets you add your own personal info, alter any default info to what you want, and allows you to add new fields that might now be in the App... no its not free, but being able to simply search for 'Jim Lee' and find every comic you own that he was a part of does wonders when planning your next trip to the Con.... no im not part or in any was affiliated with the vendor, but i strongly believe in the product.... ask anyone else that uses it too....

any time frame on when to comic creators will get announced? some ticket sales have already come and gone, and would like to have an idea of the creators there......

i wasnt necessarily looking to get any sketches on the sketch edition, mainly signatures, but that does give me an interesting thought, IF i would to seek out a single sketch for the center of the cover, out of who is currently out there, who would be the one sketch i should look for? any specific reason?

The Quest for New Hope!!! OOPS, err umm.... The Quest for New Sigs!!! (thats better) haha im on a quest that seems daunting, but im sure it can be done..... im very new to the CGC Forums, and through them ive learned about facilitators that i can send my comic to, to not only get signed, but CGC sig series graded as well... that being said, i have Action Comics #1000, both the Blank Sketch Edition, and the Standard Jim Lee Edition.... (would love to add his SDCC Foil Edition into the mix as well) since i cant travel much currently outside of SWFL, im looking for ways to get the harder to get signatures and the signatures of creators that dont come to southern florida.... im still waiting to see who will be at MegaCon Orlando this year. i see facilitators goin to Mexico comic con that has both Jock and Garcia-Lopez, and that started my idea... im wanting to try and get as many signatures graded on both of these books, especially the sketch edition cause of the room... who (in your opinions) will be my hardest sigs to acquire for this Nobel Quest, and why? im still starting to compare facilitators, to see who is traveling to what, and see who can get the most sigs when they do travel... any thoughts or guidance would be greatly appreciated..... im not worried about getting this all done in one trip and know this might take a few back and forth, but would think getting the hardest ones first might be the best approach? thanx
