Here's an interesting one... This book was created by The Comic Mint as part of their long line of Ultimate Edition scams promotions. They take the full print run of comics, keep the best 200 of them, and destroy the rest. The surviving comics get sent to Voldemort to receive their version of a 9.8 Signature Series, signed by Greg Horn and numbered out of 200. The copy I have is raw and somehow survived the pulping process. This is an incredibly tough find (I've never seen another raw copy available) and a must-have for any Spidey completionist! $400 - Amazing Spider-man (2018) #1 (Comic Mint Ultimate Edition) NM+

Now... I've sold a lot of Wolverine books in my life. By far, the most popular series I get asked about is Volume 2 from 1988. However, after that, the Wolverine Origins series has always been my second best seller. I'm going to list out a near full set here, broken up into small lots. The lots are all bagged, but not boarded (with the exception of #10, which is also boarded). $25 - Wolverine Origins #1-9 (variants of #2 Hitch, #4 Dell'Otto, #5 Frank, #8 Olivetti) All books VF or better

It's been a busy spring, as I'm coaching two of my sons' baseball teams. I'm making one final push here and listing books this morning and late tonight. Discounts posted are still in effect.

I'm not trying to pick a fight here, and I apologize if my words have come across that way. My point is moreso that damage could have occurred for two dozen other reasons, a dozen of which could place the blame squarely on CGC themselves. Just look at Comics General and how many threads have been opened about Quality Control... allegations of books shipped to the wrong person, books seemingly swapped out, damage caused at the grading facility, mislabels, lack of grader notes, etc... That's not to say that CGC is at fault here either. It could very well have been shipping damage (which CGC should probably reach out and report before grading). Maybe the OP missed a large defect or didn't secure the package properly for shipment. Maybe this was shipped via UPS or FedEx and it got run over by a truck. Again, we can go on and on about possible causes. Every month there is another post claiming to have books that have been damaged, misgraded, mislabeled. Some of these are legit. Some of these maybe not so much. As a collector, it's frustrating nevertheless. It would be nice if we had a full checklist of items or a process to offer those people to help them get to the bottom of their problem.

As a side note, books shipped via the Media Mail service can be inspected for no reason. This is laid out in the terms for shipping Media Mail, as only certain types of media may be shipped in this manner. Comic books do not qualify, though that is a discussion for another thread. Lastly, to the OP, what were the results on the other 6 books that were submitted at the same time? Were those also damaged or come back with lower grades than expected?

This statement is more correct. USPS does not have a blanket authority to open any and all packages. Packages need to be deemed suspicious (I won't debate what merits something as a "suspicious" package). In some cases (particularly First Class), USPS must also obtain a warrant before they can open a package. Your original post, which lacks of other possible causes of the damage, suggests that the blame for said damage should default to a misrepresentation of USPS's package opening policy. USPS has their faults, but this reasoning is not the conclusion I would jump to.

This is not a true statement.
