but it doesn't transform the book into a newsstand

That's what I would think as well @shadroch, and yet the label clearly says 'Newsstand Edition' but there clearly isn't a barcode underneath the sticker... 

Just saw this one pop up on MCS & it seemed relevant - it's a SW Heir to the Empire 7.5, Qualified, but no notes on the label:

The grader notes say 'sticker on cover' - but I'm not seeing it - unless the sticker is the barcode? but if that's the case wouldn't it not be Newsstand?

As for removing stickers, definitely leave to the pros

100% 

I bought a couple junker books with price stickers just to see if I could do it… the answer was a resounding ‘nope’ - color loss and damage to every book I tried.

Tim Rose - thx to @Triston Pence for facilitating!

That might be part of it - I once sent an 8.5 book back to CGC for a press & regrade & it came back a 9.8 (but have also sent in easy 9.8 books for a press/grade and had them come back as 9.4s, so ymmv)

Some of those defects might come out with a press, but I did find out that 'creasing' can sometimes refer to actual fiber breaks in the paper (and not what I would normally think of as a 'crease'), which I don't think would come out with a press.

Did you get it pressed?

Otherwise you can refresh the page on your phone every 26 seconds like I do.

This is the way.

They posted somewhere the black panther, jane foster, spider-gwen and miles morales.

Does that imply that we're only getting 4 new ones..? 

Well now. This one came out just fine. 

Thank you @CGC Mike - I've said it before and will say it again - the customer service side of CGC is great - responsive, courteous and (reasonably) effective, but the QC side leaves a lot to be desired. If the QC side can be improved, it'll be a lot less for the CS side to deal with. 

I received a book a while back that had some scuffs and scrapes on the slab, so I sent it back in for a Mechanical Error. I received the same book back yesterday, and it still has obvious scuffs and scrapes on it, but when I resubmit for a 2nd ME, the form tells me I can no longer select 'slab damaged in transit' because I received the book over 14 days ago. 

Can we no longer resubmit damaged slabs for Mechanical Errors more than once? So if the slab we receive after the 1st Mechanical Error is damaged, but no longer eligible to be resubmitted, that leaves the submitter with a damaged slab and no recourse? I'm hoping this is just a website error and not a policy change, as I've had to submit many books in for more than one round of Mechanical Error.

 the Jim Lee @ 40% off - thx!

Received two SS books back from the 1st round of ME - both have scratches and scrapes on the slabs and one came back without the custom label. 

I tried to create the order for the 2nd round of ME, and it won't let me select damage, claiming I received the books over 14 days ago. I received the books today.

Classic Xmen 1 NM $5

Really like Fiumara's work, and thought these went well as a set. He was attending NYCC last year, so was able to snag some sigs (and a sketch)! And they're the only SS books on the census)

fwiw, the story is pretty good too!

That is very cool.

Thx! yeah I was thinking about doing an 'everybody signs #1' Futurama book, but this seemed more interesting - also getting everyone to sign a single book would be a big hit to the wallet, and this seemed to lessen the blow, or at least slow it down over time  

I couldn't find a good one for Phil LaMarr tho. I got a couple other Futurama sigs (my fav I think is Welker), but they're not singles on the census, so I posted them over in the Celebrity thread.
