  1. Well, you can have multiple email accounts... so its not hard to have multiple ebay. Id say 1 for selling and 1 for buying makes sense for a non-scam reason.... but i have 1... so eh
  2. 'The idea of Absolute Security is a myth. To think that it is possible is to invite in certain doom.' Its that simple. Nothing cgc does will ever be 100%, someone with time and desire will find a way. The trick is in how you handle it when it occurs. How fast do you respond, what changes do you identify and how quickly do you release info to your customer base / how do you make those impacted whole? They are at half a month now with it getting a bit worse every day with the exposure potential. The question is what do they do about it and when....
  3. Happy new year Mike, thanks for chime'n in. If you do hear anything you can share, please do
  4. Just a quick glance at the front... not seeing enough to warant 9.6 Slight corner on bottom left but thats mostly normal... so not sure if its something on the back causing it. Nice book though
  5. Getting a bit tired of my book sitting in QC on a signing event that they are regrading it after the signing. Its not part of this reholder gate scandal... lets get them moving. Dont want to take time off from work to sign for it
  6. Yeah first post you can see before and after on the yellow slabs. Thats all pressing
  7. Went that route on superman #75 and pressing cause damage to the book. It now has visible spine stress and that does deserve the 9.6 rating
  8. If you mean mechanical error. Its a selection in the normal grading a book section. However book sliding in case isnt one of the things they will fix from what i know. So they will likely charge you for the service. Edit https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/11571/mechanical-errors-policy/ Thats the policy and loose book inside doesnt qualify
  9. No movement today on the QC Jim Lee Williams signature
  10. Ouch... what happened? Also take pic of serials as you can view them after they take pictures from reslab and while they ship back
  11. And i got my Jim Lee solo signing books back. The Image United #1 stayed 9.8. The other 2 were raw grades.
  12. Got my final 8 Campbell back. My ASM 601 went down a level but the other 7 stayed 9.8. So overall, with two spawn drops, 30% of my order went down in grade. On to the photos:
  13. ASM 601 before and after. Still no notes and nothing that looks like it would de-value it that wasnt there before.
  14. Oh i know that... but until they figure out how to grade more accurately or give proper notes for why a 9.6 isnt a 9.8, i feel they should see whats going on. And the frequency it happens is simply too high. So instead of it getitng burried in the other thread, we can show it
  15. Ultimately, i think they need to tighten up the process and require notes that detail exactly why something isnt a higher grade. To me, this feels like the grader just decided on a whim to call it 9.6 today. That superman #75 really pissed me off because the one note i got was well within the limits they decribbed in their book to be a 9.8. Then when it gets pressed its damaged further. I can see the new note about spine stress and can see the spine stress. So yeah it should be a 9.6 now.... before, not so much. Again, it comes down to they dont give eniugh detail on why something went down and it warrants it if the book is coming in as a regrade due to the signing. That previous grade should hold a very high standing with the grader to prove why it has gone down or maintain it. Again, my pressed supes 75 has spine stess caused by cgc that wasnt there on the original or the after grade version that dropped from 9.8 to 9.6. I can see the issues on it after resubmission #2 w/ pressing and they should be called out and would warrant the grader making the overrule and lowering the grade. But i expect full notes on why. And if a grader cant or doesnt want to do that.. it should keep the O.G. grade
  16. "The Certified Collectibles Group's headquarters will be closed on Friday, December 22, and Monday, December 25, 2023 for Christmas. We will be closing at 3 pm ET on Thursday". Looks like even if they did finish QC today, they closed earlier than Fedex arrives ro get there shipments. We waiting till tuesday or so. Perhaps thurs or friday delivery
  17. Yeah i know that feeling... did you get grader notes? I got 1 more campbell shipment of 8 coming tomorrow where ASM 601 went down to 9.6. The other 7 kept the 9.8... so 30% of my campbell order dropped to 9.6.... so far no grader notes on why
  18. Yeah got his 2024 calender in the mail today. My lee williams stayed in QC state today. So i hope tomorrow, but it likely wouldnt get here till tueaday or wednesday due to the holiday
  19. Nope, they have no visible signs of anything a press would fix. Plus last press i did added spine stress.... so im dreading my 2 upcoming pressings on my frenz signings
  20. Well my spawns came, listed the downgrade in the other thread... but yay 300 has no newton rings
  21. Ok adding to the list with my two Spawn J. Scott Campbell signings Here is what i sent: And with no notes on why, here is what came back: Not seeing a reason why, corners look good, spine has no stress, no bends.... We really really need notes on this stuff
