Abracadavar Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Wow I was floored when i got this today, this book is beautiful, and the two remarks on the graders notes are enough to drop it to a 7.0? the "crease" they are talking about looks more like a defect in the print, its only on one specific part of the back add. Graders notes: Comic Description:X-Men 101 10/76 Marvel ComicsGrader Notes:bend left top of back cover crease bottom of back cover breaks color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Jennifer F. Posted August 11, 2020 Administrator Share Posted August 11, 2020 Good morning, thanks for your message. We're sorry you are disappointed with the final grade of your book. Each book is evaluated by the hobby’s most experienced and trusted team according to well-established grading standards. It is the consensus of their cumulative expert opinions that determines the grade. Graders notes are an internal means of communication between the graders. Notes are made at the graders discretion, they are not guaranteed but are provided as a courtesy to paid members and dealers. Often times they may not be entirely comprehensive or give a 100% accurate description of the defects. Please keep this in mind and refrain from basing your judgement with our grading standards and procedures, solely on the Grader's Notes that are provided. Additionally minor defects such as small non-color breaking bends may be very difficult to see through the encapsulation. You may be able to view these type of defects by holding the comic at an extreme angle in the light but is difficult to do in the holder. You are certainly welcome to send your book back for a regrade, however, there is no guarantee that the grade will change. If you have any other questions, you can reach our customer service department at 877-662-6642 or by email at submissions@cgccomics.com. Thank you!
