Oh, she doesn't bite. Go ahead, call her. You should have seen the lovely write-up Conan did on Este in this week's MCS newsletter.
I have dealt with Este many, many times over the years and she is awesome. However, I am heeding Conan's most recent request made in this very same thread:
"If you are emailing Este as an individual, I'd recommend instead using consign@mycomicshop.com, which is the group contact point for everything consignment related that is fielded by multiple people, including Este."

Ouch - sorry to hear. I would definitely give Este a call.
I have already contacted the consignment department (I try not to specifically pester Este) and Andrea said they will reach out to CGC for an update. That was 5 days ago.

This happened to me about a month or so ago. One of the slabs I sent in for consignment was sent back to CGC for recasing. There was no charge. I could have called Este to find out if it arrived damaged but as long as it came back with the same grade (which it did) I didn't feel the need to bother her. But if you really want to know, you can always call Este and either she or someone on her team would probably be happy to tell you.
Your recasing only took one month? MCS sent a slab I consigned for recasing last September and it still hasn't returned from CGC.

Where was Greggy?
I saw him sitting in a booth with his feet up. Probably exhausted from the non-stop buying.

I think the market also helps identify minor keys. Using your ASM example, #37 and #38 are far more affordable in the same grade (say CGC 8.0) than #39. So, in my opinion, that shows collectors consider that issue a key and will pay more for it. Scarcity in grade can also be a factor, so I wouldn't use too high a grade for comparison if using this methodology.

If you have tens of thousands of comics bagged and boarded and stored and organized in longboxes, you're a collector. If you have tens of thousands of comics heaped in random piles across every inch of your house and you don't blink an eye when the cat pees on them, you're a hoarder.

It's going to be sadly ironic for my heirs when they try to cash in my prized Richie Rich comic collection and discover that they are, in fact, not rich...

As the comics that introduced me to collecting as a 7 year old, Harvey comics from 1975 are the gems of my collection. Many of the issues had zero file copies and are very rare in high grade. I even have a WTB thread for them! Drek? Never!

It should also be noted that the CGC 9.0 Fantastic Four #49 (-19%) was the Suscha News pedigree copy, which would have been expected to command a premium over non-pedigree copies...

You pay in $?
I wish I'd known that before you traded me the latest box of moose meat and beaver pelts.
You loved my moose meat.

I must pay too fast - no one has ever shipped me a comic before I coughed up the dough.
