I didn't realize the Whitman is considered a reprint. Otherwise pretty happy with this press and grade submission.      |

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC Not sure. I traded a 7.5 second print & sold a 7.5 first print recently. One is about to ship back from grading soon. I think that will be 4 slabbed copies and 4 raw copies. I’ve sold a couple others in the past once I upgraded. |

| This was a CGC 6.5 Blue Lable. Had it taken out of the slab, pressed, signature Verified, and re-"Graded. It went from a 6.5 to a 6.0 with a check. I am OK with that because of the Verification. Before:  After:  |

| Cgc graders notes are almost always a miss. That marville 5 book that looked better than an 8.0 was sent to a presser and he stated that the sides of the book were split. No notes or comments were given on that fact. I almost had book cracked out and resubmitted but the presser looked before leaping.... |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte Yeah, unless a book is mid-grade or lower you rarely get notes from CGC. Very frustrating. Their presser is clearly not the best, either, and they don't even have press pre-screen so that you have a chance at getting books that could be damaged by pressing weeded out. |

| Considering that was a blue 6.5, not green, switching to a 6 with a verified sig seems like quite a drop. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by zdoes10 That surprises me. A 6.5 should have graders notes. I know that from 8.0 above it's pretty much a crap shoot whether they'll provide them or not, but below that they should have them. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Byrdibyrd I agree. I’ve heard the excuse: “at that grade, you should be able to tell by looking at it”. Which is ridiculous. We’re getting books graded by a company’s standards, not our own. I want to know why THEY graded it this way. The least they can do is tell us. |

Bronte private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @Byrdibyrd They do have pre-screen but it has to be certain circumstance. Not just ordinary books. For example, I am removing some restoration on a book and it requires a press screen to see if they can remove the restoration and if the book will benefit from press. Here was results.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slim Amen. To. That. Everytime I get a book back from them with a grade below 9.4 I would like to see grader's notes. That would be a huge clue as to whether I would want to crack a pricey book out and get it pressed, or if it would be a waste of my time and money. |

| Cgc seems to operate in tbe premise that if we are vague and imply presseable defects we can get more money. I have a hulk 181 9.6 they pressed and the notes suggest that it can be pressed. Yet CCS did the pressing |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte I have plenty of books with graders notes like that. 'Light bends' on books that I know I had pressed, for example. I know that some bends, however light, are just not going to come out, but what I'm seeing is ridiculous. |

| Got some goodies back on Thursday. It was an odd order in that a) I used grade screen with raw grade back-up, which I don't think a lot of people do, and b) I'm pretty sure I got it too early. The order is from February and had fast pressing (before the express tiers were implemented) but regular grading. I got an update that it was into grading in August, and six months seemed about right for half-time pressing, but then there's no way I should get through grading in a month. Crazy. Anyway, here's one of the raw grades. Most of this order was stuff from my X-Men run.  Here's a pair for the guys in the oopsie thread https://forum.cbcscomics.com/topic/18438/page/1/anyone-see-this-oopsie-from-cbcs/  A mistake I made - didn't look for a MVS. There was a different thread about what grade you can get with one missing, and apparently the answer is 'as high as 3.5'. https://forum.cbcscomics.com/topic/18427/page/1/missing-mvs-stamp/  A few regular books.      Then a few non-X-books, with the two winners of the order.    |

| @xkonk Those are so nice! I'm hoping to have some books back one of these days. I've received notice that I have two submissions going into capsule now. Hopefully I'll have something to share soon, but I'm not sure if it'll be as cool as these.  |

@PhantomEwan I love this cover too. I have the Trade and Minimal graded and I have the Trade and Minimal signed by Louw waiting for grading. The signatures were verified I'm just waiting on their return. Here are the two I already have back.  |

| @Belarak I appreciate you sharing. Your photo actually makes me wonder. On my virgin cover it is called “Black Flag” comics exclusive but yours is KRS just like the trade one. I wonder if I should check mine for an extra cover? Maybe they removed it for me? | ||
