Hello - I have submitted comics in the past, but I'm not sure what I got back here? It's not even in the protective case? What's going on? The pricing was discounted from a December 2024 special.

Based on the sticker and the $12 grading tier, looks like it was accidentally submitted for Raw Grade service

“Books graded using the Raw Grade service are evaluated, graded and placed in a Mylar bag with a backing board. The grade is displayed on a sticker that is adhered to the front of the Mylar bag. The bag is also sealed with two tamper-evident stickers on the back. The stickers are not tamper-proof. We only guarantee that the book returned is the book sent in and that the grade given was the grade assigned at the time of evaluation.“

I didn't request raw grading. Nowhere on my invoice does it indicate raw grading.

I don't believe this....and I know you don't care that I don't believe this. GAC private msg quote post Address this user
That is definitely Raw Grading.

Just a question now of, did you accidentally request it on your submission or did CBCS accidentally Raw Grade instead of Grade/encapsulate.

The graded pricing was discounted for a special. I've never requested raw grading.

Hmmm, something about those line item cost totals, it's only $2.00 but the given figures should total out at $75.20. What am I missing?

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
That invoice makes no sense. You can't have authentic and vsp unless there are two signatures, one that was on the book prior and another witnessed by cbcs and submitted to them at a show or mail in signing.

Cbcs corrected the error by removing authentic and gave you an $8 credit. It seems like you clicked on a bunch of random services when submitting and had no idea what you were doing. Maybe cbcs should've contacted you to verify you actually wanted a raw grade, but that's what you selected.

It's in one of CGC's invisible cases. That they use for their invisible comics.

Yeah, it would be nice if CBCS ever responded to any of my emails or requests to call me back.

That's for sure. Even the math is wrong. And instead of a credit for the promo code, it's a $3 charge???

You need to compare this invoice to the one you created at the time of submission, and go from there.

The math is right. 76.20-3= 73.20.
Don't add the $8, which was adjusted.

Send an email to Cody Lockwood with all the pertinent info. Hopefully he can clear things up

The column says 12.00, 8.00, 15.00, 25.00, 20.00, 4.20, and 3.00. That adds up to 87.20. Even the 8.00 credit doesn't get it down to 73.20. Seems like funky math to me.

I'll guess that it's supposed to read -3.00 for the promo, which would get you to 73.20.

Thank you @The_Watcher for the tag.

I have been in contact with the owner and have explained the services and we are working out a way to get this beauty graded and encapsulated for him!!

I especially like the invisible comics graded less than 10.

some invisibility is better than others, like the difference between the Invisible Man and Hollow Man.
