Mostly when certain signers got a hold of the books. I seem to remember that Stan Lee and a few of the senior generation just grabbed and signed. Stan's facilitators and teams were not known to be as easy on the books either. Link to post Share on other sites

A cbcs 9.8 New mutants 98 sent in for Claremont is coming back a 9.6!!!! Too many people commenting how they have tougher 9.8 criteria than CGC. I don't think this anecdotal evidence of a signing is any indication one way or another. If one wanted to see if they were more strict, they would have to send 30 CGC 9.8s to CBCS to see how they come back and send 30 CBCS 9.6s to CGC to see how they come back and infer on the results. I have seen enough complaints this past week alone to say that grade retention at a signing is absolutely not guaranteed. It is very likely your CBCS 9.8 was also a CGC 9.8 but after handling it for the signing it became a CGC 9.6. Especially if you sent it in slabbed and didn't do the window box yourself. Any extra handling will increase the chances of your grade being lowered, even if pressed afterwards. If you have a 9.8 and absolutely don't want it to lower in grade, then don't send it to a signing.

I finally wrote that long due post. This has nothing to do with CBCS vs CGC, it's all about people not knowing the risks. It takes almost nothing for a 9.8 to be a 9.6 and yet people send them out for someone else to crack a slab, pull out a book from a sealed sleeve, put it in a window box and pass it around for someone to pres a pen on.

god503 Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 Well aware of the risks. Also aware that most of the time u can't tell the difference between a 9.8 and a 9.6. My thing was a few have commented that cbcs has higher standards for a 9.8 than cgc has. Otherwise would have paid a little more for a cgc copy. Live and learn. Im sure that wont be the last time it happens to me. Link to post Share on other sites

This incident is in no way an indicator of whether or not CBCS has higher standards since you forfeited those standards when you cracked the case for a signing. No way to know how this book would have faired if it was initially sent to CGC instead of CBCS. Paying more for CGC could have resulted in the same loss of grade (and thus loss of more money) Your case tells us more what can happen during a signing, not which company grades tougher. zeeto and Ditch Fahrenheit 2 Link to post Share on other sites

My bad....sent a UCX 266 9.8 already signed by Andy Kubert to the Claremont signing....took a gamble...came back 9.8. Just figured that Kubert sig alone wasn't as appealing as Claremont or both Edited August 13, 2020 by Hollywood1892 Link to post Share on other sites
