Quote:Originally Posted by 1979_03 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. |

| I hope the Buyer doesn't mind the waviness of the bottom cover (near Spider-man's left foot) on this 9.9. It's OK though, cuz the label says it's a 9.9. Probably the BANANA EFFECT. |

| It looks like the book would fit normally in the inner well, but that the front-to-back flap is holding it away on one side causing the compression wave at the bottom during heat seal. Talk about a deeply flawed process and lack of acceptable QC. | ||

| From the poster/presser: "Curious what others are doing with books that come back like this. Sending them back again? Eating the cost? Or just pretending it’s “normal” ?" Interesting how pressers don't have a disclaimer about CGC to cover their ass. |

| Quote of the day: "I can’t help but wonder if CGC is undoing the work we’ve already done." Uh... you've got 50 slabs of evidence in front of you, and complaints from customers some of whom have already left, and you're "wondering"? Blinders much?!? (It's a good thing I'm no longer a member of the CGC boards, cause I'd get tossed unceremoniously for my "negative attitude".) |

| Modern/Copper/Bronze still seem (anecdotally) to be the ones most impacted by the banana, whereby it is just a pure debacle and disgusting bends. It's really foolish to send these timeframe books to them. |
