    Awesome. Did you come up with the ideas or did the artist?

    I just noticed that JSA is going to be at the Philadelphia FanExpo. Given the impending announcement about the integration of their authentication services with CGC, will they be able to act as on site signature witnesses? If so, could you provide details as to how that would work?

    same haha I'm just more annoyed because I wouldn't have sent in a book to be signed & graded with a visible color break, and yet somewhere in process someone wasn't careful (or the break happened in pressing) and the end result is a lower grade than I would have hoped - I have complete faith in the facilitator, so I'm looking at CGC - it's just disappointing, and not the first (nor last, I suspect) time it's happened to me.

    ouch! I zoomed in a bit, as it was hard to even tell it was there at regular resolution, below: Still think it seems pretty minor for the grade knock tho.

    I'm going to post this here, but I just got back an SS book from CGC, that definitely picked up some damage in CGC's hands. https://www.cgccomics.com/certlookup/4406893001/ Grader notes say 'spine stress lines breaks color' - this was an easy 9.8 - the one 'before' pic I have looks like there might have been a very small bend in the book before it made it finally to CGC, but does not look like it broke color, so either the pressing or the handling probably did the damage. I'm not too worried about the 9.6, but I have 9.8s that have equally obvious damage, and I don't see any other issues with the book, so knocking it down to 9.6 is kinda lame.

    I've seen a couple errors where a comic book is put into the slab backwards - the front cover is on the back of the slab, which clearly is in most cases an error. However: is it possible to do this by request? say if the back cover of a book is 'better' or if you wanted to get the back of a book signed, and then displayed as the front of the slab, is this something CGC would be able/willing to do..?

    Nice run! Who's sigs are on those book @RussJ1s ?

    Those are incredible @Tony G 1000 !

    These two came out pretty well - CGC's graders seem to have ham-fisted the Jabba book - there is apparently a color breaking bend - I have photos before & after grading & will see where it picked it up... thx to AlphaOmega & @Triston Pence for facilitating

    100% Ah sorry I thought we were talking about delivery issues - I can whole heartedly get behind the QC ranting though - debris, misprinted labels, scratches, cracks - I was returning a little less than half ~45% of the books I received over the last year for MEs - which is why I don't mind the 2 weeks - usually I spot the issues with 30s of opening the box, and usually get them turned around & sent back in a day. Plenty of QC ranting over in

    So... CGC should just know when you're on vacation? tbh I don't think it's too much - it literally takes 10m to txt them that you won't be around to sign for a package - I'd much rather do that than take the chance that the FedEx guy gives up after 2 attempts and throws the SS book you've spent 6 months waiting for in a bush by your door. In an ideal world: CGC would make a check box on your account that you could enable/disable the ship hold as needed - then it wouldn't take any time at all...

    @Joel0109 I have had quite a few ME's sent back to CGC for reholdering - once I get the package, it usually takes < 5m to open it and spot the flaws (which begs the question how good the QC is...) so two weeks seems perfectly reasonable. For next time - if you know you're not going to be around to sign for the package, you can get in touch with CGC's customer support & put a Ship Hold on your account - then CGC just keeps the shipments till you reach out and cancel the ship hold, the books get shipped and you are around to pick them up, and then the 2 weeks starts when you receive the books. I've done several ship holds when I know books are coming and I'm on vacation or whatever, works like a charm. Texting is better though - I sent and email for a ship hold a few weeks back and CGC didn't see it till a few days later and the book had already shipped out.
