Just received two boxes of graded comics fresh back from CGC and most slabs are in nice condition, but there are a handful that have some issues. Looking for opinions as to whether these are worth returning for reholder and how this will affect resale value? These are all either 9.8 or 9.6.  Some have lite scratches but a few have good size scuffing on the back. Took some quick pics but not easy to show with the reflective slabs. I realize that there is always a risk sending these slabs back and forth through the mail and going through the whole process is a bit aggravating.

I also have a 9.4 that came back with a bent corner (not the first time this happened to me). That one is going back.

I thought she was the definition of "a one-and-done throwaway," but what do I know . . . 

 

Be careful. You're upsetting my 9.8 Rabbit (captured raw in the 80's)

Good question... possibly an error at gocollect. I believe these are all reprints from Warrior magazine so unless there is something special about #6 i'll go with my suspicion.

Keep in mind that the graders at CGC will be handling the book as well, including a page count, so handling of the book, by pressers or the dude that rang up the book at the shop, is part of the game.

As long as you haven't shipped off your order you can just start a new submission form with the corrections. Items are not entered into CGC system until they have them in hand.

You'll need to call CGC about any specific requirements. They will tell you what is doable and how to include comments if possible. Good luck.

If you're saying that you filled out a submission form but haven't mailed it to CGC then you can simply start a new form with the book(s) that you want to submit. Submissions are not put into CGC's system until they are delivered and in their possession.

Is ebay still the primary choice for a seller's market? I'm more concerned with their fees and percentages they take. 

I'd be more concerned with some of the "characters" on ebay, especially with high value books.

I sell all my slabbed comic books thru MyComicShop. 10% up to $300 and 8% above the $300 mark.

Neat. When was this published? 9.4.
 

1982.... I recently sent my copy to Joey for pressing and then onto CGC. Should see it by next Christmas.

At least now while I am uploading my next submission to CGC I am now getting enjoyment of seeing YouTube videos of people uploading getting their invoices back from CCS/CGC where their CGC 6.5 Eternals #1 isn't worth what they thought it was when they submitted it after buying raw comics at 2020/2021 highs.  

A lot of I "lost money" and "I thought this would grade higher."

Seeing the defeat  in their eyes is beautiful.

(Greggy hitting the confused button in 3 2.....)

Don't forget the "grader must have had a fight with his wife the night before" excuse.

Today status changed to Grading/Quality Control

Encouraging news... my 8/12 submission should be right around the corner... Thanks for the update

Taking photos of slabs.

Camera on tripod (using timer) with a black poster board or similar non reflective material behind camera to cut reflections on slab.

If room is too dark or light not even (flat),  lights can be used at about 45 degrees from both sides. If lights are too harsh, something like thin tissue paper can be put in front of lights to soften and spread illumination.

Light can also be bounced using a white board, also at 45 degrees so as not to reflect onto the slab.

Fishnet...

Fish to face covers?

1st appearance of Spawn?

Check the indicia of the comic book to be sure you're using the full actual title. The submission form can be fussy with titles at times. Also check the date(s) offered to make sure it matches up. Not sure what comic you're submitting but one example could be .... "Amazing Spider-Man: Venom 3D #1" .... Might need a call to CGC if none of the choices match up.

Keep the certificates. CGC won't slab them and more than likely not return them.

Good luck and welcome to the boards.

I'm not sure if you have to request that so and so's name be included on the label, but I know it IS possible for it to be done.

Both names quite legible, written in ink. Will definitely give CGC a call if I decide to send them in. Having names depicted on label would be ideal.

Feels funny to call Destroyer Duck 1 a desirable big book but it is

I have a few copies with Kirby/Gerber signatures on first page. Wonder how CGC would treat these?

Just try it again - sometimes eBay's "Blocked Users" list needs to be entered again in order for it to register.  I have no idea why.....

Fourth time's a charm... or maybe different day, another "Blocked Loser"... thanks

Be aware of a buyer named D. T. Randall Jr from Tupelo Mississippi. We arranged for two graded books to be shipped to him. As soon as they arrived he opened a Payment Dispute 'outside of Ebay'. USPS shows it as received the same day as the dispute was opened. It arrived in 3 days.

wolfpack0nite15 has filed a payment dispute outside of eBay about an order that was placed on Nov 09, 2021. This means the buyer has disputed a charge directly with their payment provider. They are requesting $105.00 back and the reason for this dispute is that the buyer hasn't received their item yet.

The best part is, Ebay knew he was a problem buyer and cancelled my sale to him AFTER I SHIPPED THE BOX!!! To double the problem, USPS failed in my Interecept Request that was issued less than an hour after the box was delivered to USPS. The only good news is Ebay says the 'dispute meets the Seller Protection Eligibility....'

ebay user ID?..... wolfpack0nite15 comes up with error message on ebay
