CGC Mike

There's less than 24 hours left in this round, and I am missing grades from 40 plus people.

You have a grade and price on the sticker, and have specified half sticker price. As far as I am concerned, your are good to go.

62 participants have submitted their grades. Someone landed a score of 1

I am guessing the servers are down. I have notified web help. Someone is having the same problem in the cards section as well. Mike

Hi This has been a problem in the past. It is possible the servers were down. I have notified web help. Mike

Sorry, participants were required to sign up prior to the start of the contest. Look for the spring edition signup around April 1st.

The answers to these questions is no. Here is what we tell customers about value: The value we ask you for is an insurance value, a number you would feel comfortable with in terms of a replacement value if your book was lost or damaged while with us. We do encourage you to be conservative as we do not reimburse you if you over-value your book. In the event that your book was grossly under-valued, we would contact you to bump the book to a higher grading tier and you would just pay the difference in the grading fees at that time.

So far, 44 people have submitted their grades.

I am speechless!

Thanks for the heads up. Let me know if this continues to happen.

Hello Please revise your payment methods. Thanks 9. Your post cannot violate the terms of service for your payment methods. (NOTE: Specifically, no surcharges for accepting PayPal, or discounts for other methods)

This is was web help told me. Thank you for that information. On the page where the customer selects how to ship, they must click Ship on my own (see screenshot). This will allow them to change the country. Unfortunately, internationally customers cannot use the Prepay FedEx option. The customer will need to reach out to customer service to obtain a free international mechanical error shipping label.

As is standard for CGC the identity of the submitter is never known to the graders. The books are signed before they are graded and at this stage the CGC Sig staff have the invoice information at the signing. We do not show the artists the invoices, only the books, but Todd asked about this book and this person in particular and we absolutely do shoutouts at signings for cool books with the artists. Customers love an opportunity to have a one on one moment with the artist even from afar. This is also how we surprise customers with facetime calls from the artists. This is one of the big allures of doing an in-house signing. Books are not signed differently depending on who they belong to. All customers receive the same signature from the artist.

I assumed because of the rust on the bottom half of the top staple. @stynxno This is a label error and can be sent back to us to be fixed. It has already been changed in the system. Just complete a submission form by selecting the mechanical error option. A prepaid shipping label will automatically be sent to you through our website. (not by e-mail) Be sure to write "should be a blue label". Also, write ME in multiple spots on the outside of the box.

I expect to see a more civilized discussion.

Grades are due by February 3, 8:00 PM Eastern Time Good luck! The reveal of the actual CGC grades will be posted shortly after the round is closed, with scans of the books in their CGC holders. The scoring results thread most likely won't be available until the following day. The next round will most likely be posted within 1 hour after the previous round has ended. Click on the image to supersize it. Because the contest involves only scans, books were chosen with defects present only on the covers; there are no significant defects to the interior pages or interior cover, such as tape, missing parts or brittle pages. No restoration is present either. All defects relevant to the grade should be visible in the scans. If there is a defect that is not visible, we will try to provide a graders note. Please copy this list of books and paste it into our PM, then post your grades on the same line. Shock Suspense Stories #9 Sub Mariner #36 Wonder Woman #159 Strange Tales #180 Showcase #94

Here are the rules. Please read them carefully. There will be 4 rounds with 5 books per round. After the deadline for the signup thread has ended, I will start a new thread in the hey buddy can you spare a grade section, scans of the first 5 books will be posted, and I will start a PM thread between myself and each participant. Be sure to use THIS PM thread to submit your grades every round. I will post a list for the books in the thread where the books are posted for each round. Please copy and paste that list into our PM, and add the grades for each book. Only CGC grades (numerical) will be accepted. Non CGC grades like fine+ or Very fine- will not be accepted. Be sure to follow the threads that the books are posted in. This is the only way you will know when the next round starts. There will be no update when the next round begins sent to our PM thread. All of the threads with the books and the results will be posted in the hey buddy can you spare a grade section. You will have 4 days to get your grades in. After I record your grades, I will reply to the PM thread so you know that your grades have been recorded. Only grades from .5 to 9.8 will be accepted. Grades of 9.9 and 10.0 that are received, will be recorded as a 9.8 Please do not bump the PM for any reason other than submitting your grades. Nobody will be allowed to change their grades. Do not discuss your grades with others in the thread until the round is closed. Also, please do not ask any questions about the books publicly or privately (by sending me a PM) . If I am provided any special notes from CGC, I will share them in the thread. If anyone fails to submit their grades for a round, or do not submit grades for all of the books in a round, their participation in the contest will be terminated. You will be able to participate in the next contest. After the 4 days are up and the round is closed, I will post scans of the books in CGC holders to reveal their grades, and include the graders notes for the books. A new thread will be started to show the results of each participant. The results thread will most likely be started the next day. There will be a new thread started for the next round. This thread will most likely be started within an hour after the prior round has ended. 0 points is the best score one can achieve. 1 point will be added to your score for each grade that is higher or lower than the actual grade. If the actual grade for the book is 5.0 and you guess 4.0, your score for that book is 2. If the actual grade for the book is 5.0 and you guess 6.0, your score for that book is 2. If the actual grade for the book is 5.0 and you guess 5.0, your score for that book is 0. CGC will be awarding Grading Credit. $500 for 1st place, $250 for 2nd place and $100 for 3rd place.

Round 1 is underway.

Bump!

I'll ask about this.
