  1. Happy to help! I understand how you feel =)
  2. Howdy! I just purchased three books through Heritage that have the same issue. I have emailed CGC to ask for help. These were also variant covers for comics released in the past 2 years. This has happened to me once before a long time ago. The explanation they had back then was that the certs only go into the system once every book in the grading order has been graded and sent back to the submitter. Example would be that I submit 10 books and 1 is taking longer than the rest for some reason. They ship out the 9 books to me, however the certs will not go into the database until all 10 books have been graded and released. This explanation makes zero sense to me since the usually hold all books before they ship back to the seller but it was the one they gave me. I would email CGC support. Good luck!
  3. hi @jstam! What would be the best way to create a character set that spans a number of different titles? My example would be Doctor Fate: I would want to include the Immortal Doctor Fate 1986 mini, 1987 mini and 1989 series. Should I request sets for each title or can I request a set for a character and add additional series to it over time? What would be easiest for you? Thanks!
  4. Found my first bug. I am not able to request a new set where the comic certificate number starts with a 0 ie. 0959306001. Error message is "Value must be greater than or equal to 1000000000" Also, I am not seeing the newly created sets in the dropdown menu but I imagine it might take a day or two to refresh. Loving it so far!
  5. So far the system has been working great! I hope it makes things easier for you as well @jstam
  6. What a great Valentine's Day gift =). Thanks jstam!
  7. Only front and back of one book. I think it is a server problem as I get the following error message "An error occurred during your last request. The error was logged and will be reported to the webmaster automatically. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your patience." I think I just need to decrease the pic file size
  8. I wonder if I use lower res pics if it will work better. Thanks!
  9. They are updating all of the sets so maybe that is related?
  10. I am glad it got people talking at least =)
  11. The registry is definitely not a price guide but the points system is loosely based on Overstreet prices. Books with white pages are valued higher. I don't suggest lowering scores for OWW etc. but there should be positive scaling for page quality. Nobody loses points but slight increases for page quality which is already in the code and part of the grading system. Imagine two competing complete sets where one has all OWW and the other WPs. The scores being identical makes zero sense.
  12. The point system is based on dollar value of books. Books with white pages have a higher monetary value than books with lower quality pages. Hence white pages equals more points. Case closed
  13. I'm not talking about massive increases in points, more akin to the bonus given to signed books if that makes any difference
  14. Grading by its' very nature is subjective. If we follow through with your argument then there is no real basis for the point system at all. Either the grading means something (including page quality) or it doesn't. Obviously it does or we would not be here or worried about points at all! Furthermore, a change in points for page quality would probably be an easy change in the coding
  15. Points system is loosely based on value and white pages always sell for more than any other....
  16. Thanks for the award! Not gonna lie, it came as a big surprise and I appreciate it. Best part is it made me look nerdy cool to my son =)
  17. Registry points should absolutely be assigned based upon market value. It is the only fair way. It doesn't have to be dollar for dollar so maybe 60% of 3 year average price to keep a big buffer for market gyrations. The purpose of a dollar is to be a universal unit of exchange. This translates to almost every part of our daily existence and this should extend to the registry. However, I do also heartily support points being given to sets on top of the individual comics for % completed, % with pictures and % with descriptions. That is how you do it
