CGC Mike

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.

Thanks @Get Marwood & I for keeping track of those that signed up. This saved me a lot of work.

The signup for the grading contest is closed. I will send out a PM to everyone on Wednesday. The contest will start on Thursday 8:00 PM Eastern time.

Yes. All of the info has been sent to the team. Thanks everyone for the great detective work.

I did reach out to the team regarding this.

Is this your book, @wiparker824? Edit: Never mind. I see it's on Ebay!

I'll be going through this thread in about 2 weeks and sending all of the requests to the team. This will be round 2, as I sent in part of the requests and posted the changes a few months ago.

I was thinking of getting one of those hats for shade. After "trying it on", I think I will pass.

I can't imagine giving anyone a warning for stating which country they live in.

Someone from customer service will answer your questions either tomorrow or Monday.

I have removed all of the latest posts that hinted around a physical confrontation. If you quoted said posts, your post was removed as well. It's one thing to randomly joke about Phil's parking lot once in a while. This type of posting is listed #1 in the types of behaviors that will be moderated and we take this very serious, as it also carries the strongest action regarding posting restrictions or a permanent ban if deemed serious enough. Keep this in mind going forward. There was 1 of those quotes in Mike's post which I have edited out, as his post contained no unacceptable comments, and was a very important one for this thread.

I agree that it is a shame. However, this forum has a terms of use. I can't allow such posts to remain in the thread. People can repost without the name calling and masking of profanity words.

I received your tag. I guess you found the answer.

Masking profanity words and name calling violate the terms of use. The thread has been cleaned up. If you quoted someone who made said posts, your post was removed as well. As of yet, there have been no official warnings issued. If it happens again, a minimum of 3 points will be added to your account.

Here is what I was told: CGC is testing some new functionality. Stay tuned for more information soon!

I have just asked about this, and will post what I am told.

Hi Ryan I received the PM from your uncle @Lightning55 and have sent an e-mail regarding this to the proper person. It may be next week before I hear back. I will send you a PM regarding this as soon as I do. Thanks, Mike

Hey all The info I posted yesterday was wrong, so I hid some posts. Sorry about that. My post should have said this: We are working with Hotshotcomics/Asheville Comics/Doug Cegelis and his customers toward getting all of the customer books in CGC’s possession back to customers. We are in the process of going through our in-house inventory in an attempt to match up orders.

Thanks Mike It appears that your books were received into the system today.

Glad to hear your books were found. It appears you have already checked regarding the 6/26 books. I sent the e-mail anyways, and will let you know what I am told.

1 person has been banned from this topic. I am not sure whether it will be permanent or not. I think it's time for every one else to move on or risk getting banned as well.

Could I get a packing slip number as well?

Just heard back and they blame the post office... they're asking me to file a lost claim with the post office even though the package must have been signed for. My biggest grail... Could I get a tracking number?

Hi Customer service should be able to help you with this. Please start a thread in this forum. https://boards.cgccomics.com/forum/99-ask-cgc-trading-cards/
