| @Masochism thanks for answering!! Personally, I prefer the Art label, but I can see doing what sells. I find it interesting that there would be a bias in favor of grading otherwise low value comics. | ||

| Sympathy given, pain felt, acid tears shed for you the creator that did everything right - packed like a pro. No communication before they were graded is poor business practice and shows no concern for the paying customer. Wound is fresh, let's see how the response from CBCS comes to correct an obvious error. Then assurances that this situation won't be repeated. Jagged little pill is still hard to swallow seeing the before and after.......  |

| Tough but yes I would expect CBCS to contact the customer if obvious that a box is damaged. That case the customer can also file insurance claim if insured | ||

| CBCS grades books. The books that are in front of them. Unless receiving alerts them that a box came in mangled, it is business as usual. Sadly, people making just above minimum wage will not take the initiative to bring this up. They get paid to open boxes. Another thing is that the outside box, in some cases, may show little damage and the books inside will have impact dents like your examples do. The only way this will take effect is if it’s made part of SOP. |

Quote:Originally Posted by CFP_Comics $288.00 means a lot more to some people than others. Personally, I can't afford to have a bunch of books slabbed with these low grades. If they were for my PC it wouldn't even matter, I am one of the few people who could care less about grades. But to those who collect my art and purchased these, it was under the belief that they would yield high grades. I now have to make good on my obligations to them, because I don't want to let people down. It's a shame that others don't do business with that same mindset. |

Quote:Originally Posted by dpiercy I was excited when the ART label launched and have had several books slabbed with that label. However, books with my artwork on them that I sell I have gotten feedback and the general consensus is they'd prefer the grade. |

| Interesting dichotomy: Artwork pages have pasted word balloons falling off; they have scribbling within margins and on the artwork, crushed corners, yellowed pages, and other major issues that make no difference at all in the value of the artwork. Most are "low grade" if one could grade the paper. Fast forward to the advent of CGC/CBCS and folks are concerned that artwork is on a 9.8 comic for increased value? As if a 9.6 George Perez blank comic sketch is less than a 9.8 George Perez blank comic sketch? I just don't get it. A one of a kind piece of artwork and yet the number still matters? I dunno - I guess the draw of those numbers on a label is like a fly to a purple lantern. Now where is my Van Gogh painting ... I have to get it submitted for grading so I can get a 9.8. I think I'll get it pressed because it looks like a 9.4 unpressed  Side Note: those are beautiful pieces of artwork you have there. Really. Love em! |

| The art is reminiscent of the Shattered variants that are done in a mosaic style by ... I think the artist's name is DiMasi? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Masochism I would think even if the box had little damage the backing boards should have been mangled, and that observation would be an appropriate reason to at least identify it to management whether the customer should be contacted. The evidence most surely was there, but obvious no one was looking for it, or cared. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Drogio Yeah, that's got to be a core part of the training for whoever is unpacking boxes. You've got to photograph it and get ahead of it...get that information to the customer immediately and let them make a decision. |

and it LQQKed like a beauty too. This CAN'T be the first time this has happened and it WON'T be the last. If it happened in transport then photos to you and phone call would be right. If on site, you were owed at least complimentary pressing. Nobody should be working at CBCS and just think this is an OK way to treat a customer. Virus or not! New slabs, new labels don't mean a dam thing if this is OK.

| @Darryl_H @sborock Something bad is going on with USPS right now and I'm concerned that the risk of shipping damage is higher than it's ever been. I'm buying a decent amount of insurance on everything I ship right now. We will need help from CBCS in recovering damages if they do occur. I'm really hoping your people in receiving are keeping an eye out for damaged boxes and photographing them when they come in. I hate to ask for an extra step, but given what's going on right now with weeks of USPS delays I would have the guys photographing the box and shipping label of everything that comes in before they open it. |
