We need more participants. Did I mention that Taylor Swift might make an appearance?

I believe you. Maybe you should sign up for the grading contest for some relaxing time here.

I was steadily surfing the forum and did not notice it.

When was this outage? I don't get notified unless it is something large, like the merging of the sports card forum.

Please use the link below to sign up for the fall edition grading contest.

Did you get the answer Mike? From upper management: No, we won’t do that for just a page. We only grade them if they are attached to a full coverless copy. He’s better off with the page displayed in the holder anyway.

Ok. I will contact web help with these examples within the next few days. If anyone else has something they would like to share, please do.

Lol You keep asking me this in different threads. Let me send you a PM and we can discuss this there. Look for a message in the upper right of your screen. The PM inbox is in the shape of an envelope.

Hm I was hoping that part of it was fixed. The last few times it has happened to me, (over a period of 2 months) it showed I was signed out of the home page and I clicked on chat boards, and was able to sign in.

Yes. Here is the page that lists the services and fees. https://www.cgccomics.com/submit/services-fees/cgc-grading/ Here is the how to submit page. https://www.cgccomics.com/submit/how-to-submit/

So, you have to make multiple attempts, then it will sign you in? Does it take you to the home page on the first attempt?

Collectibles That Are Not Encapsulated There are several reasons why a collectible cannot be graded or encapsulated by Certified Guaranty Company® (CGC®). Some of the most common reasons involve authenticity, size and subject matter. Collectibles that are not genuine will not be graded or encapsulated. They will be returned raw. The full grading fee will apply. The full grading fee is charged because CGC provides an expert opinion of a collectible’s authenticity. If a collectible is not genuine, that determination has been reached as a result of CGC’s authentication process. There is at least as much, if not more, work involved in determining that a collectible is not genuine as there is in determining that a collectible is genuine. If CGC believes that a collectible is likely not genuine but its research is inconclusive, the collectible will be labeled “Questionable Authenticity” and not encapsulated. The grading fee will be refunded less a $5.00 processing fee. In rare instances, a collectible that may normally be eligible for CGC certification will be returned not encapsulated with a label that says “No Opinion.” This notation is used for collectibles that cannot be conclusively attributed, authenticated and/or graded due to their condition, a lack of available research or other factors. When a collectible is labeled “No Opinion,” the full grading fee will be refunded. On occasion, CGC will not encapsulate a collectible and return it with a label that says “Not Suitable for Certification.” This notation is used for collectibles that are severely damaged or otherwise impaired, so that it is impossible for CGC to even attempt to authenticate them or assign a grade. Then a collectible is determined to be “Not Suitable for Certification,” the grading fee will be refunded less a $5.00 processing fee. CGC will not certify some floating items, such as free-floating 3-D glasses, or poly-bagged collectibles. All collectibles must be taken out of poly bags before being graded. Collectibles that display extreme nudity on the front or back will not be certified. For example, if the cover image depicts explicit sexual acts, CGC will not grade it, and the item will be returned. Size restrictions CGC will not certify collectibles that are too large for its holders. This includes: Comic books larger than 10-1/2” tall x 7-5/8” wide x 1/4” thick Magazines larger than 11-1/2” tall x 8-7/8” wide x 1/2” thick Concert posters larger than 23” tall x 30” wide Specific comic book restrictions Comic books that have severe overhangs, hard covers or jeweled covers cannot be encapsulated. Specific concert poster restrictions Concert posters that are not from one of the following series are not eligible for certification: Bill Graham, Bill Graham Presents, Family Dog, Grande Ballroom, Neon Rose, Art of Rock, New Fillmore Series, and Moonalice. For trading card restrictions, visit CGCcards.com. Collectibles from Sanctioned Countries Due to US sanctions, the Certified Collectibles Group (CCG), which includes NGC, PMG, CGC, CSG, ASG and CAG, will not accept collectibles either (a) issued by the following countries/regions if submitted to CCG’s offices in London, Munich or Hong Kong; or (b) submitted to any CCG location by a customer located in one of the following countries/regions: North Korea Iran (including Persia) Cuba Crimea If collectibles from the above-listed countries/regions are already in the US and are owned by a US-based customer, they may still be eligible for grading by a CCG company in the US. If collectibles from the above-listed countries/regions are already in Mainland China and are owned by a Mainland China-based customer, they may still be eligible for grading by CCG’s Mainland China affiliate, NGC Shanghai Business Information Consulting Co., Ltd. In addition, special handling applies for the following countries: Syria: CCG will accept collectibles from Syria but will not ship any collectibles to Syria. Iraq: CCG will accept collectibles from Iraq but they may be subject to additional scrutiny by CCG and, if applicable, US customs, resulting in delays and possible rejection. At this time, there are no sanctions affecting collectibles issued by Russia or submitted by customers in Russia. However, shipments containing collectibles issued by Russia may be subject to significant delays due to customs processing times. Certain individuals are also subject to sanctions and cannot do business with CCG. A complete list of individuals sanctioned by the US can be found at https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/. This policy was last updated on April 23, 2022, and is updated periodically. This policy is not meant to be taken as legal advice and, due to quickly evolving situations, it may not reflect current sanctions. For current US sanctions, please visit https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/. CCG reserves the right to reject any submission from any customer.

Hello Yes, we still grade magazines. Mike

I believe the "getting caught up in the loop" problem is solved? For quite a while people would try to sign in, and it would take them back to the home page. It still does that now, however you do not have to sign out of the home page to avoid the loop problem. It still takes you to the home page, and it shows that your are signed out there. After you click to get rid of the pop up, you can go to the chat forum and login. Is everyone seeing this as well?

This is how it has gone down in the past with any web help issues. People post the problem they are having. (any problem) I notify web help. They ask for specific info like: Are posters using a phone? If so, what kind? Can we get a screenshot of what the poster is seeing? etc... etc... etc... I come back and ask, then crickets, and the ticket gets marked as complete. Several people need to give me very specific details of a problem they are having with screenshots, and any other information that might help to fix it. It is also hard for me if I have to go to 3 or 4 threads to find info that I can send to web help. Give me all of the info you can for 1 problem in 1 thread, and I will send it in and push to get the problem fixed.

Here's a link to the signup thread.

Currently, you have a post count of 8741. What was your old post count? Also, do you remember what your old custom title was? I checked, and "emoji votes on posts" works for your account.

Web help has tried to fix this problem for years. We can't seem to duplicate the "remember me" feature. For me, I have to login about once a month. As far as other problems, they are being discussed more recently in this thread.

A few posts have been removed. I strongly recommend that you do not try to bring modern, political comments into this historical thread.

Again, please wait for customer service to answer your question. Also, this isn't the thread to discuss this. Thanks

Customer service will give you an answer in your thread in the Ask CGC section. You posted the question after business hours on Friday. It could arrive as early as Sunday morning, or take a business day to ask the graders, which will delay the answer to Tuesday morning. If for some reason you do not get an answer by then, send me a Personal Message, and I will check for you. It would not be fair to them for me to give you an answer at this time, seems they were asked first.

You will have access to the want to buy section when you reach 50 posts. It isn't allowed in other forums.
