Will do. It wasn't the only book in the sub affected, but luckily the other one had very minimal damage. Still, this poses a potentially big problem. If slabs can't take normal wear and tear from shipping from CGC, then maybe that aspect needs to be reassessed.

Thanks for following up Julia. If they think it’s still 9.8, I suppose I’ll have to accept that. I think in the future, though, more communication about this kind of mechanical error would be nice. Appreciate the quick response though.

Just checked the CGC verification and it appears the book was indeed re-slabbed (new scans have replaced the old) with the cover moved back into place and the staple tears hidden, as well as a wedge to keep the book more firmly in place. Is this a normal practice? To re-slab a book that was damaged during shipping (even if it was a small amount)? It's not like the interior shifted without affecting the cover--those staple tears exist where they didn't before shipping. If y'all truly believe the damage wasn't enough to drop it below 9.8, fine, but I would love to have some feedback instead of just getting a shipping notification and no other information. Not trying to be difficult, but the lack of communication here is a little frustrating.

Hi, following up with this—I just got a notification (and text from FedEx) that my ME for this book has “shipped”. What does that mean? This was a 9.8 damaged during shipping to the point (imo) where is isn’t 9.8 anymore. I never heard anything from customer service, so can I assume they just re-slabbed my book, regardless of the very clear tears at the staples? If so, this is a little concerning. Not hearing anything from customer service about this, even just to say “hey, we recognize the damage but still think it’s 9.8” would be nice, even if I don’t agree.

In

For the record, I didn't mean it would get 9.0, just meant it definitely would never get higher than 9.0, which is what the OP asked. IMO a notch or two lower

That's all! Feel free to shoot me offers or ask any questions. Thanks!

Wow nice book! Super tough in high grade. I feel like CGC has been light on foxing lately, so I'll say 9.6

The crease on the lower right corner of the front cover will probably keep it from achieving higher than 9.0. Also, I could be wrong, but this appears to be a previously slabbed book that got hit by the dreaded 'shaken comic syndrome', as the interior pages hang fairly significantly below the cover. If there are tiny tears at the staples, this is probably the case.

Also, you should note that that ASM 300 in particular has TONS of production-related issues. Because it was printed to heavily there are issues with rough cut edges (the hacksaw effect you mentioned), faded and/or splotchy cover inks (some looks almost faded orange with black back covers that seem speckled like there is bad color rub where there actually isn't), and bindery tears--though the latter likely has more to do with the issue being double-sized than the high print run. In general, CGC won't penalize a book for he above 'defects', since they are production-related, so you find them even in 9.6's and 9.8's. I've had two raw copies in hand recently where one was a structurally beautiful NM/9.4 without any of the common production defects (but had enough other defects to probably keep it from higher) and the other was a technically 'cleaner' copy around the NM+ range but had really poor color saturation like I mentioned previously. And tbh even though I think the latter will grade higher, if I only cared about appearance I'd go for the 'lesser grade' copy 10 out of 10 times. All depends on what you want in a graded book. Good luck!

This may have been posted elsewhere (sry if so), but it appears hi-res scans of more recently subbed books (believe they started late last year) are no longer available to view when you look up the cert # for a book. Does anyone know if this is temporary or if CGC no longer has plans to scan every book? Really hoping this is a system update thing, because the scans are superrr useful...

I just got a shipment of books back from CGC, and one of the books appears to have gotten damaged during shipping--what is referred to as 'shaken comic syndrome', where the book is jarred (likely by the package being handled too roughly) enough that the inside pages slip while the cover stays in place due to being held tightly by the well. The book in question appears to have shifted about 1-2mm, causing small tears at both staples. My question is: how will CGC deal with this? It's a 9.8 book (I had submitted initially to modern and CGC upgraded it to High Value) worth about $1,500, and it will now be very difficult for me to sell. Can CGC reimburse me for any of the value? And if so, how will they determine the reimbursement amount? This almost certainly happened during shipping, as the scans do not show the damage, and it was damaged when I removed it from the box CGC shipped the book in. As far as I understand, CGC is liable if damage occurs during shipping. I've provided pictures of the damage below.

One time price drop on this through Sunday! $6,050 shipped.
