(Sorry, it's the medications, and apologies to the actual Savannah Bananas organization for dragging their name through the mud in such a slanderous manner.)

At least 2 handfuls already had multiple color breaking tick or full or full on bends.

One well known dealer shot me the nastiest look when he saw me viewing the sides of the slabs. Likely because if another customer asked me why they would be educated.

I do wish I had seen more CBCS at the con, Most of my cash went unspent…

…Will say this about PSA , they give you a receipt right then and for the drop off that serves as proof of their acceptance. Thus insuring your stuff from the first second.

Unlike CGC where your book can be liberated at anytime before they check them in weeks later. 5 books of mine in 2023 never made it to checkin after a Con drop off. CCG claimed I never handed them over.

Wow, that’s an unfortunately impressive number of them you found. I bet if others did the same they would find similar results, especially considering most dealers send off very large numbers of comics per order. Any one CGC order from a dealer could lend itself to hundreds of books being banana’ed, then coming back for the intent of selling stock for customers.

I did a PSA submission their first month of availability, received the books back a month later and I was very happy with the process overall.

They recently changed their cost structure; specifically for "bulk" which is now only 10 comics!
And 30 days TAT for Vintage. Not sure I remember it being that low.
They must be hurtin for business.

Maybe if they fix their damn slabs to not damage the book, they'd be back to just being inconsistent/incompetent with grading.
It would actually be welcoming! LOL

From a not to be named mailing list...

"The auction features many new CGC certified Marvels from the Bronze and Copper Ages, mostly from 1980's through the early 1990's."

That counts me out!

Just fyi....

I just received one Modern Celebrity signing SS book - Bent moderately
I also just received 5 Silver/Golden age books - Perfectly flat.

Combine this information with my last shipment about 4 months ago of a similar 2 submissions (Celebrity signing SS which was bent & several Golden/Silver books which were flat) and I am beginning to be convinced that the bent/damage is occurring on Modern books; not on Silver/Golden books.

I recognize this has been a theme of only impacting Modern books, but I wanted to begin the process of confirming myself. I'm not there yet, but it's trending there.
