Resolution/ Response / Professionalism / Surprise First, I would like to acknowledge and thank forum administrator KailleeS C S for their accurate and timely response. The customer service representative at CGC concurred with the form administrator, so I was put at ease, but there was a surprise. On October 18 at 11:24 AM, I received an email from CDC Receiving Specialist Roy London, acknowledging and inquiring about my preference in resolving the situation of the submitted extra book. I was given the choice to either have the book returned or placed in the submission. Since I was in a lecture at college, sitting with 12 fellow students right next to the Professor, I did not open the email until 3:26 PM. I immediately responded at 3:31 PM, to my peril because the professor was clearly observing me breaking the decorum of the class. The lectures are conducted sitting around a big table where there is no way of hiding what you’re doing. (Yes, I did get busted after the response, and the professor definitely posed a question to me, but I responded more than accurately. to her surprise, I am a much older student by 30 years, and I’m an average guy in an Ivy League institution.) I stated in my response that I would like the book to be graded, and I apologized for the error I made and thanked Roy London for reaching out because I was terrified as a collector. I felt nobody would get back to me because it was close to 4 p.m. and most employees would leave. Again, to my surprise, Roy contacted me and informed me that everything was safe and secured, and he would definitely take care of my book and submit it with the original order. By 8 PM, I observed that the situation had been rectified. Here comes in the CGC professionalism at work and a counter to some of the insecurities we have as customers. I have it on good source that some of the employees at CGC are collectors of different genres like us, be they Barbie dolls or Matchbox cars. Again, Thank you, Roy London, for your Professionalism and mutual concern about collectibles. -Aundre Powell-Mignott

Hello my prescreen sent out to CGC this morning has an error on the packing slip quantity. I sent out 14 books but the packing slip has only 13, when I reconciled the packing slip I found that the quantity box for my Marvel Fanfare #1 was had the quantity for one instead of two. Simply put my packing slip is short one on the description and pricing. My question is how does CGC handle these matters and what can I do to rectify it- should I make a copy of my packing slip and change the quantity and initial it; then forward it off as a PDF with the corrections. Plus I'm curious on how does CGC handles situation when somebody sends them an extra book, do they just grade the book. Either way I will contact customer service on Monday. By the way it's totally my fault .

Hello everybody I'm a little confused because when I spoke to the customer service rep they told me around 3 to 4 weeks on turnaround time for mechanical errors. I've been so busy I didn't even check and I just realize it's been there for nine weeks. This is my first time dealing with this situation. CGC4632560062. 4204946 Uncanny X-Men 145 I would like to know if this is standard operation procedures for it to take over to two months going on three. I want to know is it just me

I actually I used this one as my test run because I have three others ASM 194 that need to be submitted at some point but I was told to hold off. Plus if there's a line as the grader notes reflect, it can easily be pressed out, because it's not breaking color. It's literally glare, there is no color breaking line going straight down the spine. But this actually turned out OK because we where able to obtain some very unique insights. Thank you your responses we're beneficial in ways you cannot even imagine.

What meant is the results should come in from the CGC customer service ticket and it should spread some insight to the problem. All in all; it cost me $33 maybe another $21 to have it re-graded. I'm actually glad I didn't put it in the $71 Tier (Standard)

I looked at it under magnification and there is no reading color breaking stress line. You can magnify the actual slab version and see that there is no color breaking reading stress line

Yes, I would definitely marry that 7.5 over a 8.5 or 9.0. I thought I submitted high resolution pictures but I remember converting them down. I definitely submitted high resolution pictures to CGC.

"Funnybooks" made a good comment and I concur and to be impartial with CGC; I did not request a ticket to be open, they did it on their own. This is why I strongly suggest that high image photos of the comic books externals and internals be taken before you send them out, I know it's a lot of work but that's how I catch my mistakes. I know it happened to me with seven submissions back with all of their grades being below 9.8 and me thinking they were all going to be 9.8. I realize at that moment I needed glasses and a magnifier. So I bought electronic microscope and now these problems don't happen anymore. Maybe. LOL

This is a pleasant question that is more geared towards insight. I recently had this amazing Spider-Man #194 graded in the modern Tier. Grader notes do not match exactly the description of the book; but the nature of this project is to have the audience formulate the answer from their observation. I have already opened up a ticket ID: 164505, so this will be a little fun too. Here are the before pictures sending them out to CGC: The grading audience will observe that I also put the inside covers because in the past people have accused CGC of missed grading but in reality they were either staining, foxing or some form of anomaly in the interior of the book. I cover all bases including the centerfold by taking pictures and in certain cases filming it as a package the product to go out. Because sometimes it's actually the carrier that causes the problem. Please be advised I am not a professional grader but I am a researcher at Columbia University and a student. (I am more into solving the problem then complaining) Please; experience an inexperienced graders tell this "novice" if I'm on the right track and would you give this a 7.5 and do you see what grader observed in its totality. Thank you

Sorry it took a little bit to get back, I was actually showing my copy in two different versions to compare with LTA-newb "comic -sample" of "yellow-finger-prints" on front cover https://boards.cgccomics.com/profile/70125-lta-newb/ I purchased my copy from the News Stand a mount before the cover day-date of release.

What's the odds of specific comic book having a similar yellow finger prints on the front covered and it not bring a printing error. I believe this edition has more than one printing error. I actually have three in my possession that I have not submitted for grading. This is definitely a manufacturer error. .

I actually have a copy with the same yellowing fingerprints in the same area
