Grade dropped-What to do?

Supertom

2 yearsNuffsaid111 (20188): Yep! I will always be appreciative that grading companies can verify restoration. That is very important. But somewhere along the way the hobby was stolen from the hobbyists and we all allowed it to happen due to the big money being tossed around when the comic is placed in plastic and a dopey number assigned. That number is only accurate on that day by that "professional"(s). In the end, I don't care. I just sell the stuff...

If CBCS is at the show they can provide an AW for free so you can get the book signed in front of a witness. I was looking for a facilitator because I am not attending the show and would need someone to handle my books for me.

What grade would this fetch?

Cosmic_Surfer

3 yearsByrdibyrd (24736): The book may not necessarily be trimmed. Try looking at the edge in question edge-on, as in looking straight at the cut edge. Is that edge where it's cut lighter than the rest of the paper? That's a sure sign that the edge has been exposed to the elements for a shorter period of time than the rest of the book, and the book has been trimmed. That's a lot of wear on the edge in that 3rd photo. I imagine that if it were trimmed it might show less....

And this may shock you, but people would call and argue the grade and insist that they hold on to the book and regrade it. This was probably unpleasant for customer service, and they would have to pull graders out of grading if someone had to provide some first-hand experience in an answer, so it's not great for actually grading books.

4 yearsdielinfinite (26853): @jef It sounds like you selected a Grade Screen option. Grade screening is when you provide a minimum grade you want the book to achieve before committing to full grading. When Grade screening is selected the book shows a cost of $0 because it is unknown whether you will be paying for grading, a rejection fee, or have the rejection fee waived. Once the books are screened, books that meet the minimum threshold you set move on to full grading...

4 yearskidhuman (1438): I have never purchased a slabbed book. For modern, I feel someone will have a raw copy given all the online stores out there. If I was to buy an older, bronze, silver etc. It would depend on the book and all. An Xmen #1, if I happen to have the $$$ at the time, I would go low grade, 1.0 but it would all depend upon the mood, the cover itself since that is what would be displayed mostly, and the timing of everything.

4 yearsScifinator (15828): @poka - Congrats and thank you. FYI, i was the original owner of that comic since publication. It was purchased through a local comic shop on St. College Blvd. in Anaheim California. It closed not to long after due to a combo of rent increase along with new competition created by Mile High comics opening there SuperStore a couple of miles away also in Anaheim. That MHC would also close a couple of years later due to the comics crash. ...

4 yearsdielinfinite (26853): One thing to realize is that CBCS Canada isn’t just a Canadian address to send your submissions. CBCS Canada operates under a different tier structure and offers a more restrictive set of services. So options there are not 1:1 with submitting directly. As for why, I would imagine it involves the logistics of gathering the books in Canada and shipping them en masse to the Texas office and back, which already has longer turn-around times...

I have had situations where I’ve had a book graded...

5 yearsxkonk (17918): @Darthstrong98 you can take a look at the turnaround time thread https://forum.cbcscomics.com/topic/8934/page/14/cbcs-turnaround-30/#332 . Some people are getting their books back ridiculously fast. It also depends on what you sent in exactly. The TAT varies by book value, although 5 weeks is the TAT for the slowest values right now. It will also take longer if you have signature verification or pressing.

6 yearsJesse_O (39345): I believe the reason why your book didn't get a checkmark is because a missing value stamp is a large deal with many collectors. It is not as if an interior page has a mark, stain, rip or fold, there is a piece missing. But I think the reason CBCS came up with a check mark is to have something to counter a green label. I'd rather have an honest grade with a check mark on a blue label than a fantasy grade on a green label.

6 yearsesaravo (99967): CBCS’s shipping fees are based on the number of books first, then the total value of the comics. So the cheapest way to ship (the per comic cost) is in multiples of five (5 books, 10, 15, etc.). That way, as the number of books increases, the per book shipping cost decreases.

Shipping WTF?

6 yearsdrchaos (29364): The $285 I got back was the amount Fedex charged to insure each of three boxes for up to $9,500 per box. In the past I was not charged for this. Since I have third party insurance I have asked CBCS not to declare any value so I can avoid this charge in the future/ This amount is above and beyond the other shipping charges from Fedex.

They come stacked in 20's, with a foam sheet between each slab, wrapped in a giant protective ball of bubble wrap, which comes in a box surrounded by packing peanuts. Its impressive. I do miss the old way, where five or six slabs (depending on thickness) would have a foam divider between each of them, and come in a CBCS-branded box. Usually wrapped in a single layer of bubble wrap...

What value do you consider too low to slab?

kutworksinc

7 yearsCatmanAmerica (31202): It depends on the relative scarcity, estimated value and whether the collector is contemplating the eventual sale of books through a professional auction house. The expense of 3rd party grading and encapsulation has to be weighed against return on investment. IMO, with rare exception, collectors should reserve third party grading for books that are 5.0 and above (for GA & SA), 7.0 or higher for books of more recent vintage. The exceptions...

But for those who dislike pressed books, reholdering the book in a slab with a larger inner well is as best as it can be. A book like that, in a mylite2 & full back will have the same stress on the spine as it would, in its' current slab. Cracking it out will not change anything.

7 yearsCopperAgeKids (3717): A Qualified 4.0, and qualified labels in general, on books with a missing page, make more sense to me than just grading a book in a Universal slab at .05. A Qualified 4.0 with a missing page is worth the same as a Univeral .05, it is the same BOOK. But from the perspective of using a third party firm to grade a book,a interested party will be able to see what the BOOK would otherwise grade at, if not for the missing page.

ncamother

2

8 yearsDrogio (8043): I would think that asp books have slightly more value in that the witness reduces the risk of an unauthentic signature to essentially zero. While vsp carries slightly more risk. as no account of when or where the book was signed is provided....and coa's, which cannot be slabbed with the book, cannot necessarily be tied back to the actual book... Just my opinion.

New Mutants98 CBCS 9.8 Mark Jewelers Variant

Carmbad

8 yearsHomer (1010): GPa does not identify if it's a mark jewelers edition. However if you check the Cgc bar code you will get the notation if it is the MJ. By looking at GPa a New Mutants 98 9.8 sold earlier in March for 1025.00 and it is a Cgc 9.8 Mark Jewelers variant. Likely the reason for the highest recorded sale for 2017. GPA does not track CBCS sales.

Raw vs. Graded

8 yearsesaravo (99967): Don't forget that the slab certifies not only the book's condition as in its grade, but also if the book has been conserved or restored, and if a signature (or several) are legit. Once you purchase it, you can remove it from the slab if you want, or leave it be. But you will have the piece of mind knowing that the book hasn't been restored and/or that the signature(s) is/are real.

There is no Golden age "curve" but all books were not created equally and that is taken into consideration when grading. I do understand the argument though if I take a 9.6 modern and a 9.6 silver age book the modern will exhibit better eye appeal and seem to have almost no noticeable flaws.

8 yearsResurrection (661): Grading strict vs. loose with CGC/CBCS is usually a +1/2 or - 1/2. So I have had books I thought would be 9.0 get 9.4, and others 8.5. I have had "shoe in" 9.8s get 9.6s for no apparent reason. Grading fluctuates very little, last year I received about 160-180 9.8s from CGC, this year they are a little more harsh. My submission with CBCS last year was tight, this year I don't know. But if you are seeing a 9.6 and it gets a 9.2. It...

I'm just not how much these flaws effect grade especially the fold crease since it's basically production error. Cheers.

9 yearsdielinfinite (26853): Hello everyone! With all our new members, I thought I'd give this another shot. As you can read in the first post, the goal is to post a book for every grade CBCS/CGC assigns (I'm not requiring a 9.5 from the lamented Wizard First label but if you have one, please post it when we get there. We've gotten started with a 0.1, 0.3, and a 0.5. If you have a 1.0 slab, please post it, then maybe someone can post a 1.5, then a 1.8, etc!

Emails with order updates...

9 yearsasteroidcomix (21): I have not received an email for anything I sent in at the end of May. Three of the tiers have shipped. Pretty frustrating because you can't see grades, don't know when books are going to arrive, and then end up having to drive to fedex to pick them up (30 min drive). CBCS, please fix or find a way to post the information in the account page.

Fantastic Auction This Saturday

9 yearsMaverick (1029): I'm not sure about this particular auction house but the ones buy me consign items for large and small collectors/estates. You usually have a Buyers fee and A Sellers fee where the house takes around 20%. For someone who just got dumped a collection by a passing family member 20% seems like a small price to pay for someone else to take care of it all. The problem is when the auction house is small and cant generate the traffic it needs to...
