4 hoursesaravo (15640): My Terrificon order that I dropped off on 7/18, is listed as grading this morning (and the invoice says labels). I haven’t seen an email yet (I haven’t checked my junk mail folder). This order was 15 BA, CA, and a few Moderns. No pressing or fast pass.

It has been more then 3 months since this letter was posted and TAT are still massively behind. How long does it take to get new staff into position and trained? Con season is over. When can we expect to see our books back!

★   CBCS FAQ

Jesse_O

1 yearJesse_O (7672): What does a checkmark (asterisk online) by the grade mean? In rare cases, a comic book will look much better than the given grade. In these rare cases, a Check Mark will be placed on the label by the numerical grade. The best way to understand why a specific comic book received a Check Mark designation is to refer to the graders' notes. Example: a comic is graded 8.0. However, the covers are such that it looks like a 8.5 or a 9.0. CBCS...

I think CGC has proven that they can be unethical on the margins. And I definitely believe they don't have any controls to watch for unconscious bias. They make lots of money through unconscious bias. For example, I've noticed a small but distinct difference between grades that were pressed by CCS and not pressed...
