I've been a CGC member for a while now and have submitted a variety of raw books for grading, pressing and cleaning.
It's unfathomable to me that I could send in a Venom Lethal Protector CGC 9.6 Newsstand Slab for a crack and press / clean to be coming back to me with a 9.4 grade without grader notes.
How are people supposed to have a fair chance to improve their books without the notes from graders? How can a slab go down in grade and not be documented as to why? I understand the acknowledgement from CGC when grading shows that this can happen, but this sure is weak.
I had grand plans to submit many CGC Slabs for pressing, cleaning and re-holstering. But why would I do so now? CGC doesn't seem interested in providing the transparency needed in the comic book community to improve slabs or books.
I'd be shocked if this post even makes it to the boards since it needs to be approved by a moderator.
I'm not an angry customer venting. I'm extremely disappointed, sad and feels like my trust in CGC has been severely shaken.
