  1. I understand but it a straightforward change to the software that the developer could do that would be very helpful to pressers and their customers.
  2. Please add a feature where a submitter can add a CGC member number to their submission so that the named member can view the submission status and grades. This would be super useful for tracking submissions made by dealers and pressers. Can you do this?
  3. There is a gray pencil-like mark on many Hulk 340s I've seen (above head). Also many don't have it. Is it considered a grade-hurting mark or an ignorable print defect?
  4. I meant to focus on the impact of the jagged corner, not the rest of the book. My understanding is that CGC will ignore minor manufacturing defects that affect the majority of the run. However, if the defect is worse than the norm for that run, it will impact the grade. In this case the missing corner is unfortunately nasty so think the grade might get dinged down a lot. I don't think it would be as bad if the chip was elsewhere on the edge. If the possible grade varies from 9.0 to 9.8, that graded price is $100 to $1400. If the book was bought dirt cheap it might still be worth sinking in pressing and grading fees to make a small return (worst case). It's too risky to pay a high grade raw price since the CGC grade could have a wide range. The only way to know the outcome is to get it graded.
  5. Cool, thanks! Yeah, I feel it'd be a real crapshoot depending on how CGC decides to handle it. Anywhere from a 9.8 to 9.0 and that assumes the rest of the book is perfect.
  6. Got it, thanks! What if it's not considered a defect and the corner is taken into account when grading? Does it drop to a 9.2 or 9.0?
  7. It's common for this book. It's my belief that CGC gives it a pass but in the posted case I'm wondering if the corner is bad enough to cause a grade hit.
  8. Are you saying it'd receive a 9.8 as is? My concern is that the corner would cause a big grade hit.
  9. I didn't mean they are biased, just that there is a very high bar for a 9.9 or 10.
  10. I believe many Marvel Transformers 1 comics have a jagged back top cover edge. The comic in question has the cover and multiple pages chopped off. See pic. If CGC doesn't give a pass to this known manufacturing defect, what would the grade be based on the corner alone? Assume the rest of the book is 9.8. Do you think CGC would ignore the defect?
  11. Would you be able to add a feature so that when dealers submit comics on a customer's behalf, the customer can track their submission? Basically the dealer would give the CGC member number and the member would then see the submission through their own account.
  12. No not me, just saw someone posting about it on Facebook. Thanks!
