milk_man Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Another day, another reholder returned with newton rings and hundreds of scratches. How is this still acceptable? Nearly half my collection can't be presented properly and paying them to fix their mistake is a die roll in shipping costs. onlyweaknesskryptonite, DS Comics and Larryw7 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

wilbil Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 i am curious about the strategic placement of one of the 'rings" in the first picture. it could be a dorian grey type of thing and the picture has come alive. Link to post Share on other sites

I've never heard of CGC covering shipping costs for anything. I'm Canadian so shipping is the main reason I can't get my collection fixed. To properly ship and insure ~30 slabs worth $15k+ is really hard. Shipping companies have a limit of $2k insurance coverage so I'd have to send half a dozen separate packages, each costing $40 down and $40 back since CGC refuses to combine lots. Even if they miraculously waived dozens of reholder fees, I'd still be out hundreds of dollars to hopefully have fewer rings. Thus far i've had multiple reholders return with rings (like this one) so it was money well wasted. Edited August 16, 2020 by milk_man onlyweaknesskryptonite 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Gaard Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 They've always had me send them a scan of my shipping receipt, and then reimburse me. Link to post Share on other sites
Candlewood87 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Question about reholdering - Ive seen several here say the way to remove newton rings is to push a backer board between the outer and inner well. I have done this and it looks better as the newton rings are much less. However, this caused light scratches to either the outer and/or inner well. Still not ideal. If I decide I want to have said book reholdered will this scratching to the inside of the holder cause CGC to refuse my reholder request and instead require that the book be regraded? Ive seen in another post from CGC that if the book "has been damaged inside the case" it would require a regrade. The book is definitely not damaged but they may consider this tampering?
