1 yearGAC (75106): I don't think Ed is asking about how the loose page should be identified. You are right...something must have first been attached to be identified as detached. I think what he's asking is....if the loose but accompanying page is the exact same size as the catalogue, then what is the logic for not encapsulating the page? (The way CBCS would if we were talking about a detached centerfold). It's a fair question that I'm interested in knowing as...

Redo signature verification?

donho

15

1 yearEbayMafia (37274): I'm not sure, I only ever sent one book back, it was the first year they opened. But it seems that without some kind of formal process, misunderstandings like this are bound to happen. The guy at the convention may be doing his best to provide good customer service, but if that's not his role, he misses a step in the process because he doesn't realize it's not as cut and dried as he thinks it would be.

1 yearMRmintastic (225): I am not certain, though it seems the current price of $25 for modern mags should be here for awhile. CGC also has the same price for their modern magazine grading, so CBCS would be shooting themselves in the foot if they raised the price in this current market.

Archies had the same program, but it lasted longer, into the early 90's. The disparity in the US and Canadian dollars became too great by early 1982, so the publishers had to come up with a way to designate that...hence the "Can" prices that began with the price logo change (the...

The other examples on the list pale in comparison and seem trivial. https://68.media.tumblr.com/b839cc8e186abe39e66d96a75a1943d8/tumblr_o9kolfML8j1r5rk9to1_400.gif

8 yearsesaravo (98722): 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.
