 Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC?

| Well some of you may recall I had made some inquiry and discussion last year about a Halo certified Silver Surfer #1 with a witnessed signature of Stan Lee that i had bought. I did indeed send it in to CBCS for VSP, Press, and regrade. Well, it made its to dallas and I got a message that there was color touch that Halo missed. I don’t know the extent. Hopefully the signature verifies. Point is i know some are shopping in there spare time, but obviously Halo doesn’t have the chops that they suggest. | ||

| @EbaySeller It was slabbed by Halo as witnessed but CBCS does not recognize other grader’s signature witnessing programs (except for CGC pre-2019) so any time a signed book is crossed over the signature has to be verified or the book will take a hit to the grade. Also, Stan Lee signatures can be a bit hit or miss as far as verification goes |

@KatKomics Agreed. Even though I am not happy with the small color touch, I am nonetheless pleased to have it in an accurately graded & VSP'd CBCS encasement! |

| @Scifinator I’m thinking about sending it in but since I will never sell it there probably isn’t any point. It’s already slabbed. I like it |

Edit: the above statement refers to CBCS only,CBCS does not offer a crossover reholder discount. I've used CGC but only for grading and to re-holder a broken slab. Edit: CGC does offer a re-holder discount. |

| @EbaySeller CGC has "up to" 50% off of competitor's slabs. I submitted 2 items for cross grading recently Nova 1 and an Amazing Spider-man 194. Enclosed is the invoice for the Nova 1. I submitted it with a value of 200$ it was a 9.6 CBCS  Since I had the membership upgrade due to a NGC purchase, I have tried out a few of CGCs offerings to see how they are compared to CBCS. From grading to pressing. One thing I notice about CGC is that they ship everything separate as they are completed. They don't ship back in the same group as what you submitted. They also rail you with a 5$ handling fee on every different submission. It feels like you get nickel and dimed to death with CGC. I did not expedite on the pressing so it's going to be a long while. 95 days plus the 30+ for grading if I understand it correctly. So it "might" be faster than CBCS pressing. Granted, CBCS pressing has been great overall. I only had one gripe. I sent a book to be evaluated and they said it could be pressed. I got back the same grade. The book to be pressed was originally a CBCS graded book, so they had the grader notes. So essentially, I paid for an evaluation and got to pay 2x for grading, the original grading, and then the re-grading. Aside from that 1 issue, the other presses were better than expected. |

| @Bronte So the $268 is total price for 5 books? I'm not quite sure I can decipher the invoice. | ||

Bronte private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @EbaySeller Essentially you only look at the first grouping and the total for that 1 book is 53.80$ A nova 1 comic, estimated value of 200$ for crossover grading, handling, pressing, and fedex ground. As for the crossover grading being expired, it is still on their website and I just submitted this set of books less than a week ago.  Edit. I'm pretty sure this cost was with the 10% discount from the membership I mentioned earlier. |

Bronte private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @Steverogers11 Yes. I sent the book to be evaluated first before pressing to see if it would benefit from a press. There was an additional charge to do that. I think its 5$. There were other books I sent that were labeled as do not press, so it wasnt like they are afraid to say no. Btw, they put these non removable stickers on the bags that say do not press that ruin the bags. Which totally sux. So. Yes, add 5$ for the evaluation to the cost of the regrading, non productive pressing to the cost as well. |
