| Is mycomicshop.com ever really off in terms of their grading? I just bought a book and it looks worse than a 4.0 granted. I dont grade books very well. This just looks really off. | ||

| I'm sure they can be. Maybe the box the book was in was mislabeled in regards to its contents. | ||

| @DrWatson It was the weird science fantasy book 29 so I can't imagine there are a lot of them to be mixed up with. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatsonI felt like doing that with the bay this week. Unfortunately I’m the idiot with egg on my face. @Bronte, I’d say Watsons suggestion is appropriate. It’s raw, and I’m a long standing believer in scans make shitty book grade assessments. |

 To answer your question, no, this is not where the comics go to die.

| @Bronte I agree with you on your Science Fantasy 29...there is no MCS grading bonus. The spine looks a little rough...is it attached at the staples? It's still a great book...hard to come by. If you paid a 4.0 price, maybe give it some thought on contacting MCS customer service. If you paid a 3.0 price or less, then maybe that was FMV.....it is a great book...Frazetta cover....congrats!!! |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte Looked at the photo closely. My guess is it will grade at or above 4.0 at either CBCS or CGC. For its era I think it is 4.5+ Two examples from same era with much more forgiving color pattern than the 29: 4.0 and in equal or worse overall condition:  3.0 but with heavy stains:  |

Bronte private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @GAC The notes say there is a split, but no mention of staples. I'm just going to keep the book and see what happens. If I'm right and it's low , I am OK with a 3.5. However, a few folks have mentioned that it may not get the mcs value bump it typically gets, but it should be a 4.0 |

| I think it's time CBCS has a grading discount promotion on pre-1975 books.....USA will be 248 years old on July 4th....CBCS should roll out a 24% discount on grading from July 4th to July 14th. | ||

| Anyone know what the current "Received" tag / payment charge time in the system is from delivery received at CBCS? When I submitted in May it was a two days. It's been over a week now. Not worried yet, just wondering what recent experience is....I know it's Con season, so likely expected. | ||

| @HeinzDad - If it’s overspray, then no. Is it anywhere else on the book? It’s usually just sprayed on the top of a stack of comics, but over-zealous sprayers could make an awful mess of other parts of the book due to drips, carelessness, and such. PS - That sun shadow will cost you. |
