Also found a copy of Dead Rabbit #1 that apparently had a low print run for some reason. Anyone have any details?
Title had to be changed...
In February last year, John McCrea and Gerry Duggan announced their new crime comic, Dead Rabbit and published an ashcan edition of the comic.
Shortly afterwards the Dead Rabbit bar in New York, which published its cocktail lists as Dead Rabbit comic books, that can be bought separately, filed a registered trademark for the phrase in relation to comic books.
When Dead Rabbit was then published by Image Comics, the bar sent a cease and desist notice to Image Comics and the New York branch of Forbidden Planet, selling the comic, announcing they would sue for millions.
Image Comics and Diamond issued a mandatory recall of the comic book.
And now, a year later, the comic book will be republished as Dead Eyes. And it looks like the 'rabbit' theme and imagery has been dulled down. This is how the cover looks now… -

Submitted two books to CGC and they were rejected for overhang.
(they were submitted as moderns then kicked over to magazines then rejected altogether)
They are hand assembled with vellum covers.
There is one copy of the book currently in a modern slab.
Would pressing correct this or would the book have to be disassembled / reassembled?

(full disclosure, I have two raw copies of 'Butterfly' #1 from an old DCBS order getting ready to send to CGC)
Honest questions -
What the heck is up with the asking prices on eBay?
Is the stated print run accurate? -

Today I shipped out my CGC exclusive Death of Superman 30th MECHINICAL ERROR due to the case issue they all appear to suffer from.
(see pic for overabundant labeling of 'ME'...in two different marker types)
I want to believe that CGC will prioritize this and I have a recent submission to judge it against.
It took only 4 days for my recent modern submission to go through the entire CGC cycle.
January Modern Slow Boat Shipment
Delivered 1/18
Scheduled for Grading 1/19 (1 business day later)
Grading / Encapsulation 1/20 (1 business day later / 2 days total)
Quality Control 1/24 (2 business days later / 4 days total)
Shipped 1/24 (0 business days later / 4 days total)
With this information, I am hoping to prove that CGC aren't prioritizing new income versus addressing their quality control errors...
Can / will their team correct 2 mechanical errors in the same time it took to grade and encapsulate 10 comics?
Only @mnelsonCGC can know for sure...
Well CGC failed to achieve the turnaround time with my Mechanical Error that it achieved with Modern Slow Boat submission.
The kicker?
Whilst being assured Mechanical Errors were a priority and that CGC does not prioritize paid submissions over MEs by @CGC Mike, it took CGC 5 business days to even mark my shipment as Scheduled for Grading after being delivered.
That's right, 1 business day more to even 'check in' my books than it took my entire previous submission to be received, completed, and shipped back to me!
How is this possible that Mechanical Errors are a 'priority', but are also not treated as such @mnelsonCGC ? -
Can't really add anything to the conversation, but always good to meet another member of the 102.5 gang...

This is the official response from CGC.
Our receiving is behind right now across the board, but Mechanical Errors will continue to be prioritized as we process orders. We plan to be caught up soon.

That being said, I look forward to the Mechanical Error I shipped out today to receive the same priority treatment. -
Who's going to ask him -
What is CGC's acceptable error %?
What % of submissions result in Mechanical Errors?
Which cost is greater - assuring quality control is wholly completed / accurate or current % returned of Mechanical Errors?- thehumantorch, Lazyboy and Larryw7

My LABEL Mechanical Error book from the Paul Dini signing has arrived back to me.
41 business days after sending it back to CGC to get Bruce Timm added back to the label.
It would have made the Top 3 of 2022 list, but now it will be part of 2023...

I have just been informed that you can now submit these books as a ME for a reholder. Keep in mind that we’ve had repeated issues with this particular book, so be patient with us.
Thank you, Mike.
Is there any thought into why these books in particular have 'had repeated issues'? -
Scrolled through the thread as I didn't want to post duplicates.
These books from my personal collection fit (currently) within the parameters.
Black Hole #1 signed by Charles Burns
Game of Thrones #1 Retailer Incentive Variant signed by George R.R. Martin
Scott Pilgrim: Full-Colour Odds & Ends signed by Bryan Lee O'Malley

This is the deal. The problem is occurring after the books ship and we need to get to the root problem before we reholder any more, so you get it/them back in acceptable order. So, hold tight for a bit until we do a shipping test and get the results back.
Thanks, Mike.
Look forward to the results of the inquiry.
UPS just delivered mine and I couldn't believe CGC would knowingly ship an exclusive product out (with their name on it) in this condition. -

This list does not include reprints. Saga 1 DRS is a third printing.

Gotcha.
Thank you. -

My gold was delivered today and is going back as soon as CGC sends me the Mechanical Error info. Silver is also going back due to a black mark inside the case. I actually find it insulting that CGC thinks this is acceptable.
@CGC Mike
Is there any way to get an official word from CGC regarding this scuffing?
In reviewing all available copies on eBay too it seems to be a consistent issue.- I like pie and SpineTic

Curious about Saga #1 RRP 9.8 not being included.
It has dropped from previous heights, but even with that drop the most recent auction ended at over $3300.
Which would place it just under your #16 listing. -
Got my shipping notification too.

My Mechanical Error was delivered today.
42 business days total for a label error. -
