CBCS LOST MY BOOK 2 2

[Tony S]

Sad for your lose. No one wants to have a comic book go missing as a result of submitting it for 3rd party grading and encapsulation. And this was a signed book, so there is no doubt an even greater emotional attachment. 

That said, despite the best attempts and processes set up, humans make mistakes.  This is the reason we are told to declare a value on the books submitted to 3rd party grading services. If they cannot find your book, CBCS  - and CGC - will/would compensate. But probably only up to the amount one declares the value of the book(s) to be. 

Someone posted up here on these boards about a year ago that CGC had lost his books.  USPS showed delivered and signed for and I believe CGC showed them originally received on the web portal.  But CGC could not locate them.  So while thankfully lost books are rare, it is not impossible. Hopefully your book will turn up. If not you will receive some compensation. Perhaps they could get another copy of the book and have a facilitator get the same signatures. Like CGC, they set up at plenty of shows and have facilitators going to additional shows.

,but why air this on the CGC site?

Caveat emptor re CBCS ⚠️  

OR... CGC won't let a post even mildly complimentary of CBCS or that even dares to show such a book in a photo, last for 30 seconds.  BUT, if you want to bash them, suddenly the mods can't find their keyboards.

Recreating this particular piece is rather complicated by the death of Herb Trimpe in 2015. Anyway, especially with unique items, I don't think it's ever bad for the collecting community to know when they've wandered off, just in case they turn up via an inappropriate third party or the like.
