Just ran through the submission form for a reholder of My 9.8 X-Men 137 signed by Byrne and Claremont to get PSA authenticated.  No option to do so, the box for PSA authentication greys out.

You'd think with the amount of signature green labels out there that this would work Day 1.

clearly they dropped them....why on earth would you mail them that way?.....that box would have needed to be busted up big time....why not just admit the drop?

It has to have happened AFTER they opened it with correct packaging. 

Books stacked face to face.  Taped together with painter's tape with buddy tabs.  Between two pieces of cardboard, taped together with buddy tabs.  In a comic mailer, bundle taped down with packing tape with buddy tabs.  Sealed tight, with packing tape and buddy tabs.  Wrapped in bubble wrap and placed inside another box with enough bubble wrap to severely restrict movement.

Yet somehow several books have the same corner crunch, or a freshly pressed 9.4+ book comes back as a 6.5 due to a FULL cover length DIAGONAL bend (luckily not color breaking).

You might get the finger print message because CGC uses bare hands to grade your books in fact they made a youtube video as to why they don't use gloves 

 

They need to come up with a better term where a grubby thumb has disturbed and distorted the ink on the cover.  Thumb smear?  Finger smudge?

BUT, I agree there are WAY too many books getting "fingerprints" as a graders note where there's no such distortion to be seen, especially when they are handling our books with their bare hands.

These have been OOS for months, any plan to restock?

I'm surprised that these variants aren't separated out in the census.  Is it possible to do so and has it been considered?
