It's on the shelf
along with a bunch of Palahniuk, tooSimilar to the story above...I keep buying Snow Crash and lending it out (never to be returned)...I still lend though (I should learn)
-
Finishing Cryptonomicon by Neil Stephenson (finally...) and slowly going through The Brewmaster's Table by Garrett Oliver. Up next I have Brewing Up a Business by Sam Calgione (plus an entire shelf more...I was hooked on swap.com before they changed the format...

If a comic is sent in for ReHoldering and damage is discovered inside the case the submitter would be contacted and the book would be regraded. Graded comics can still become damaged from mishandling and should be treated/shipped with care similar to ungraded comics.
-
Currently the maximum thickness is 3/4" for any items to be graded/encapsulated.

Yes, you would need to write in "Review" in the "Other" field on the PDF or paper submission form. If you are using the step-by-step online form you just want to pick the tier that would be appropriate for the value of your comic and then write Review on the invoice near the Service Type.
All of our services are based on value, so you want to use the "Maximum Value" column on the site to determine which tier is appropriate. Reviews do not have a specified turnaround time, so the turnaround is not applicable.
If you supply a credit card, which is preferred, CGC will assess the fee once the review has been performed. In some cases there is no change to the comic and the charge would just be for a ReHolder, so it is easiest if you provide this method of payment.
-
At this time the pricing for on-site grading is as follows:
* Modern (Comics 1980-present valued $200 or less) - $24
* Economy (Comics valued $300 or less) - $45
* Standard (Comics valued $1,000 or less) - $75
* Express (Comics valued $3,000 or less) - $125
* WalkThru (Comics any value) – min $150 max $1,500 2.5% FMV
The books are guaranteed to be completed by the end of the convention.

Yes, when we are grading on-site the fees are higher as the books are guaranteed by the end of the convention.
-
That is correct! The grade would not go down unless the comic had been damaged within the case (i.e. - if the case were dropped but not broken).
-
You would submit the book for a "Review" and specify what the book is being reviewed for (grade, page quality, pedigree, etc.). This service is normally charged as one tier below the declared value of the book.
-
CGC can grade the soft cover editions of these comics, but not the hard cover editions.
-
CGC does not grade any hardcover comics or hardcover trades.
-
The tier pricing is the same for regular turnaround (not on-site) grading tiers at a convention. You would be saving on the cost of insuring and shipping the books to our facility, all other charges would be the same.
-
CGC will typically print a new label, especially if the comic has an older-style label when submitted for reholder.
-
This is an occasional effect produced by the inner and outer cases being in direct contact with one another. The visual effect is similar to oil on a water puddle because of the two plastics. If you gently seperate the two pieces or insert a piece of paper in the side of the case, this should remove this effect. Ultimately it is not anything that is in direct contact with your comic, nor will it affect the comic's condition over time.
-
If the comic is completely removed from the outer casing then it must be resubmitted for grading even if the inner well has not been breached.
-
OK, so has it been decided, will the "Image Firsts edition" book be competitive or not? If so, what scoring should I use?
Also, what scoring should I use for "Chew: Behind the Scenes"?
Thanks everyone!
-
We do not offer any bulk discounts on our Reholder service.
-
I can add it and make it non-competitive so that it will not affect the "completeness" of the set...will that work :shrug:
-
Depends on if everyone agrees...I don't mind adding it if everyone else feels it should be part of the set.
-
The case and comic will be inspected for damage, but the book will not be reconsidered for grading unless damage has occurred. (for example, if the book is dropped and the case shatters in one corner it is possible that the corner of the book could have suffered damage, so that is what is checked for) If this is the case we would contact you.

It has been brought to our attention that the Larry's Comics Edition of The Art of Chew were not labeled as variants, but rather a note was made in the Art Comments section. These books will now be labeled as a variant (which will also allow me to create a separate slot for them, as requested). If you have a Larry's Comics Edition that is not labeled as a variant, we ask that you submit it with your next CGC submission, listed on a ReHolder submission form (for tracking purposes) with a clear note stating the mislabeling of the comic. We will relabel all of them at no additional charge.
Thank you!

I will keep an eye out for it!
I think you left that set in the upcoming custom sets...(to be released later this year
) NO! you did not ( in the future) create a Neal Adams set!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Ummm...I didn't create that set, but we are offering an option in the near future that will allow you to create any custom set that you desire of any comics that you own....hope you are still excited....

Originally it was completely free and there were no regulations other than make sure you send the book in a timely fashion and then give feedback. Now they charge a fee per swap plus they now require tracking or possible retribution from swapper and site which tries to make the members use their site-generated shipping labels, which miscalculate shipping costs and incurr a monthly service fee
I'm going to check out paperbackswap, thanks!
Yeah, couldn't get into Baroque the first time I picked it up...but the same was true for Cryptonomicon and I love it so far (about a chapter or so to go...)!
