So is CGC handing out 7.5s to books with subscription creases now?? 0

@Bomber-Bob is definitely correct.  Subscription crease is nowhere to be found on the book in the 4.5 case.

This confirms it 100% - not that it was really questionable. That 4.5 looked exactly how a CGC 7.5 usually looks, but yes I guess you never know what's inside.

I wonder if there is any way to resolve this. If I was the submitter of these books I would definitely ask for some explanations. I mean he should be able to notice the error by himself, but that's what their quality control department should also do, right? In this case it was an error that caused him a loss of at least $1K, even though he has probably not realised it yet.

I don’t think these match either book

That 4.5 that was meant to be a 7.5 looks like it can be a candidate for an 8.0 after a pressing, according to the notes.

@Brittany M.

probably best you look into these books and contact the seller. It appears that there may may have been an issue with labeling the books this seller has listed

CGC should fully investigate.  But how?

The seller has it back, and now it's in a 7.5 label.

He must have talked his neutral feedback guy in to shipping it back.

I really wish I knew if that buyer knew how lucky he should have felt. 

Bad news is, in 3 months the page quality changed from OW to Cream to OW.

All I know is I've got multiple multiple copies in the process of getting pressed and slabbed. I'm gonna watch these bad boys like a HAWK!!!
