| Wow. I saw the owner pouting on Facebook groups, but didnt know Bleeding cool got their talons on it. Love the cgc disclaimer. My thing is this, if you're unhappy try resolving the matter first with the party you take issue with. This applies to this case and numerous others that pop up from time to time. I have had issues with both companies and spent the effort with each resolving the matter. It actually gets taken care of when you try. |

| I work in a large corporate business. Workers are constantly under pressure to work faster, do things quicker, more agile, more lean, etc... And then we are under constant pressure for quality quality quality quality. Well - the two don't just go together as much as we believe we've done the right thing. It's a constant battle between the two of trial and error to get it right. Customers (us slabbers) have been complaining complaining complaining to get the TATs down from 18 - 20 weeks. They've done that. But as with any quick turnaround of any business to "do things faster", it comes with a consequence of at least pocket instances of less quality. They'll get it right, but this does happen all the time in business. And I mean all the time across all businesses. And customers and employees alike are often like "how could this happen". Well - again... quality and speed are arch nemesis like Batman and the Joker |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nuffsaid111 I am in construction and this "the sky is falling mentality" reminds me when the consultant (who has no liability if the building was to not perform) makes a mountain out of a mole hill and freaks out the owner. The Owner then calls everyone and their mother into a meeting freaking out about the issue. 9 times out of the 10 the solution is easily fixable or a non-factor. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nuffsaid111 That's exactly right. You do have to wonder if they even opened it. Quality is an attitude, not something you can train people to do. They guy looking at the comic has to want it right. They have to be willing to take as much time as is necessary despite the pressures. |

 Wait. If it was graded as if the printed distress marks were real flaws, it should be a lot lower than a 5.5. Maybe it got a grade bump because the back cover was a 9.8   |

| @Hcanes I saw this guy post of Facebook As well. I told him to post it here to ask why in the world was it graded like this. He said he tried to post it and ask on the Facebook page but said he got deleted and said that he was waiting for acceptance here. And I’m not surprised bleeding cool grabbed it. They take any chance they get to poop on CBCS. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Marximus I concur. I had an opinion on another post that the graders should be assigned numbers so that if something like this happened you could track it back to graded it. NOT the name of the grader, but an accountability of who put their hands on it. My idea was shot down there as it will be here, but maybe a few of you could see the value in it. |

| My guess is CBCS graded that book by looking at a scan of it and not the actual book to save time and meet their new TAT deadline. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Mountie73 I would hope internally they know who worked on it i.e. serial #'s processed per day - staff working on those days - bingo!! staff who gave it the grade. Can for sure see why they would not want any identifiers externally - things can get pretty heated on the sites and some of these comic nerds could possibly go next level in the real world |

Bronte private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I can see where a numbered system might help narrow down who is accountable. But there are drawbacks as well. Hypothetically situation. Say you are assiged designation 1. You always do excellent work. You have me, designation 2, I'm barely competent and lazy. If I know you had the book, i can assume you do your due diligence and my butt can slack off and copy your grade. If the graders are unknown, I have to try my hardest everytime because I cant copy off your work. That's just one of many possible examples. In this specific situation, the problem is not just 1 person. From my understanding its 3 graders and a finisher and quality control. That's 5 folks that had their paws on that book. Knowing specifically who dropped the ball only partially addresses the issue. since it was a bunch of folks. You cant fire all those folks. My thoughts would be that it was a team screwup and it requires a group collaboration on how to never let that happen in the future. Mind you, I've never been in management, but from my experience as a worker bee, the guy getting singled out is not always at fault... |

| @KatKomics Well if their grading management is anything like their billing and customer service...its inefficient and deflecting. Hence this post, and hence their lack of ownership of it. Other than the two Steves and the forum moderators, I think CBCS is an inexperienced skeleton crew in all departments once Beckett stepped in. I dont want to believe this, but the world is telling me otherwise. |

| @DrWatson that’s what I’m hoping. I know I got a Batman new 52 #1 signed and graded and I thought it was a higher mid grade like a 6.5 7 and it came back a 4 I was so upset till I saw it and I was like well yeah that makes sense. | ||
