| @Wade_Story helped me quite a bit last week. Unfortunately he couldn’t help any further and he hoped customer service could. I knew that was the end of my plight right there, Customer Service. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nearmint67 I agree that this insight would be valuable to have permanently on the forum. Unfortunately, the reality is I just don’t have the time to complete the project at the moment. It truly is a homework assignment, in that it is something that will have to be done on my personal time. So for now I would say later rather than sooner. We have got some new stuff going on at home, and as much as I love comic books… I can only bring so much of my work home with me before the wife gets upset  . |

@HAmistoso      Some stuff I’ve cooked over the last couple of years. In order: smoked turkey, smoked pork tacos, deep dish pizza, Irish soda bread, & shepherd’s pie. I’ve done a lot more, as I’m the primary cook in the house, but these are all the photos I’ve got! |

ProdigalSon private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I sent in a book to add a signature. The book currently has a previously witnessed signature from CGC (still in slab). As I was looking through my invoices, I am being charged for a Verified signature along with the authentic signature being added. Does CBCS no longer honor CGC's witnessed signatures? Last I read, they were honoring the signatures, and they remained "SIGNED", rather than "Verified". I'm also having CBCS clean and press it (since I am not allowed to work on the signed book) for me too, as there are pressable defects and should benefit from the service!!! Anyone in particular I need to contact? HELP PLEASE!!! |

| As an adult who grew up reading prose works originally serialized (and Analog, when I could find a copy), I am very excited about the recent embrace of pulps by CGC. As a collector, I am horrified by the recent embrace of pulps by CGC. Beckett has chosen to expand into manga grading; I think this is wise, given the massive popularity of manga both worldwide and among the younger generations in the United States. But I would be beyond thrilled if they announced pulp grading and encapsulation. I have a copy of the Fall 1954 issue of Fantastic Story that would probably be in the mail the day after CBCS announced pulp grading. In addition, since Beckett already has the manga slabs, it seems it would be relatively easy to encapsulate my digest-sized Analog issues. Edited to add some of the things I would love to be able to display in a CBCS holder:   |

I didn't realize CBCS grades gaming modules still in their shrink wrap. I only have one that's still in its shrink wrap still. The wrap is broken a little on the back.   |

| Soooooo, when they grade something in shrink wrap do they take it out and re-shrink wrap it? So they know it's not just the cover wrapped around an old phone book. And if not, are they just grading the front, back and sides? | ||

Example of "shrink-wrapped" comic book. There very many more. |

| @OGJackster CGC will grade them and put them in a pulp slab. It looks incredibly dumb. But they should fit the manga slab nicely. | ||

Wade_Story private msg quote post Address this user | |
| Comic books that are submitted in the poly-bag are removed and graded. The poly-bag and any contents within are returned to the customer separately from the graded book. I spoke with West this morning and received this summarized explanation: Usually the poly bags are larger than the book within, any many times, are also not clear enough to see the book inside. This makes grading the book inside the bag impossible, and also causes issues slabbing the book within the larger bag. The Batman #10 posted here is interesting because in all the photos I am finding online, the factory seal is more like like the one below (a clear poly-bag- larger than the comic, as opposed to shrink wrap). Unsure if the photo @RRO provided is 3rd party shrink wrap or not. To my knowledge this is the accepted practice within the comic book industry. There are many other reasons not to leave them in the bag (bends and such), but I won't go too deep into that now. As for the gaming modules, though I am not one of the graders who handles these- I was told most of the shrink wrap is form fitting, and allows you to see the book inside. They are not only grading the book, but also assigning the letter grade to the condition of the shrink wrap (as you can see on the label). Beckett grades VHS tapes similarly, and both take measures to ensure the shrink wrap is not 3rd party or post manufacturing.  |

| @Wade_Story Can gaming modules be dropped off at the CBCS booth at a comic convention and are the grading prices the same as magazine grading? | ||

Wade_Story private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @southerncross Yes to both! Maybe just refer to the photo in this thread if the rep at the booth isn't familiar with those submissions. Pricing is the same as magazines for pressing as well. | ||
