Strange Tales 97 CPR Results are, well, Strange!
Vince G replied to WOLVERINE335's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
I sent in a Chamber 23 to remove a ton of creasing. Nothing could be done about the long color breaking creases and I knew that going in. CCS took out all the defects that could be pressed out but the book's grade remained the same. It's not uncommon pending the type of defects already present on the book. My book does look much, much better, though -
PGM Werewolf by Night #32 - THE GRADE IS IN
Vince G replied to Matt1982's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Did you have them press it before it was graded? Appears so but just wanted to ask. -
Agreed. Based on the cert numbers these books were all recently graded. I'm thinking the same; that grading has gotten more lenient. And that's what's confusing here. The standard shouldn't change. I have a few late 60s Marvels with similar (but lesser) corner and wear defects than the Iron Man 4 that are all 8.5 grades.

2024 CGC Grading Contest Season 3 Winter Edition #9 Sign up thread
Vince G replied to CGC Mike's topic in Comics General
Count me in the contest please. -
So basically, CGC took the submitter's word for it that the book was in fact a Mark Jewelers'. That seems like a very bad business practice if you ask me, particularly because it would have implied that the submitter had to crack the book to verify the insert. It should have raised at least one red flag at CGC, I would have thought. Then again, it's a volume business, right? Just move 'em out.

Excuse my ignorance here. I haven't submitted anything to CGC in the past five years so I'm sure things have changed, but didn't they do a check and possibly regrade a book when it came in for reholdering? I distinctly recall having conversations with other collectors on the topic of reholdering and some were always hesitant about sending certain books in for reholdering fearing they'd risk receiving lower grades. Have CGC practices changed? Or is it true that a reholder never initiated a check on the book in the case? Thanks, guys.

Such an informative post. Thank you for taking the time to write this up! -
My only claim was on a book lost by FedEx coming back from CGC. CI gave me full replacement value and turned the claim around in 6 days. As for fee structure, I can tell you I have 200K in coverage for which I am charged 1K per year

Very fast indeed.

Why not. Take.
