Maybe when the new magazine holder comes out, it will be able to fit your comic? I have some Warrior #1 that were returned as too tall, yet some are graded. So there likely is a slight variance from book to book.

Sounds like improper pressing, fixable with experience.

Cover tanning and spine splitting are results from exposure and age. Additional spine splitting, pieces falling off and staples become detached is probable with pressing for a book with these existing defects.

You may use any of the following as proof of value: Note: Indemnity may be limited if you present only the packaging without the original mailing or sales receipt. A sales receipt, paid invoice, or paid bill of sale. A copy of the credit card billing statement indicating the amount paid. A copy of the front and back of a canceled check used to pay for the item. A copy of the money order receipt if the money order was used to pay for the item. The final or complete transaction sheet indicating the amount deducted from an Internet account to pay for the item. Estimates of repair costs from a reputable dealer, or paid repair bills. A reputable dealer is defined as a licensed business owner who is qualified to estimate value or cost of repairs for the item. We will not cover repair costs above the original purchase price. Receipt or invoice of costs incurred for the reconstruction of nonnegotiable documents. We will not pay more than $100 for document replacement. If you package is lost, filing a claim could be more challenging than expected if you don’t have an actual paid receipt to verify value. Buying $5,000.00 in insurance doesn’t mean you collect that amount if the package is lost.

Missing centerfold is poor .5 blue. Green is a controversial feel good grade with a significant defect omitted.

There is no pre screen for signature series.

It’s likely from those rubber or foam pads that come with the heat presses.

I’ve yet to see a CGC conserved or restored book indicating a straightened staple. It does look manufacturing and is twisted enough to downgrade the condition. Any competent restoration expert can straighten it out and reinstall.

I used to use both accounts a few years ago, than Go Collect updated there platform and I was unable to navigate the site. So I've been all in on GPA for quite a while now. Now that its fresh in my mind, I think I'll cancel my Go Collect subscription.

Yes turn around times are terrible for Economies and Magazines from last year, please quit submitting under those tiers so my books can get graded quicker. Otherwise all their other tiers are getting graded and out the door very quickly, no longer do I surrender any fast track surcharges for moderns, my only concern is why Express and Walk Through are taking longer than some moderns and fast track economies.

By the charts standard tier starts at $401 and express starts at 1,001. So if it’s not a 9.6 you should request a price review.

They would likely bump the adventure 247 to express tier price, lately the grading time for both tiers is similar, all your comics would get return shipped in the same box. So no multi ship charges. You are taking a risk of lost or damage when conservatively assigning a value lower than fair market.

The coloring over the issue box looks like scribbling, while the red over his face is red on red, likely restoration from CGC.

As a recommendation, you should take it out of the poly bag on your own, review the condition. Than get the book pressed before grading as the books are known to get bag dents on the covers.

I’ve seen graders notes with a small amount of color touch itemized. When in hand there were scattered touches all over the front cover.

It kinda falls in line with how bad is a 2mm crease going to knock the grade down. Pressing also helps tidy up the tear so it’s not as obvious.

Thanks Mike

I’m not reading it anywhere, I’m interpreting the original poster. Hence my question to mike if this exists.

So if one just sends a book to ccs for pressing and oh could you also take a spine roll out as part of the same fee for service?

I didn't know pressing and spine roll removal was built into the same service. Should be a separate function as it is a separate function from pressing. Compared to pressing, the risk of a cover or centerfold coming loose is significant.

This sounds like a reasonable option for both parties involved. The presser wouldn’t have to have space to essentially warehouse there customers books. There is insured value for theft and natural disasters that would be reduced. If your the submitter and 6-9 months go by. Say you’ve changed your mind because your hot books cooled and lost significant value. Now you can just say keep the deposit I’m not sending the books to you. Otherwise you couldn’t ship and return ship a box of books for $25.00.

Ccs failed to completely press the finger bends out, hence the note very light. Otherwise post pressing damage to the book would likely say finger bends. Graders notes are also not a conclusive list of flaws that downgrade a book from 9.8.

Divots like that can be a pressing defect from improper pressing. Yes they can be fixed when pressing is done correctly.

Tanning on a bronze age book, no I would wait for a better copy.

Glad there is an acknowledgment of the bounced emails. The response I got on August 4th was “I don’t see an error on our end and no one else has reported an issue.” Hope it can be resolved otherwise I just call now to get a response the past few weeks.
