Yes, but I've been getting similar notes on pressed books.

and shipped. I AM getting back a bunch of 8.0-9.2s
. It is what it is, most of the grades were on the lower side of estimates (not expecting many 9.8s in this batch), maybe 1-2 higher.
I've noticed that graders are loving the 9.2 these days.

So this is a thing...
not sure if they got delivered that way or if they cracked them open. This came up on a saved search I had. I hope the cases aren't this easy to crack open and resell to scammers.
I contacted the seller,,,, "The holders are open at the bottom and sealed at the top."

Wh-why would you want to remove it...?
...and why would you buy it if you don't appreciate the signature...?

Would be interesting to see the seller's description on this auction

I noticed the change in form just the other day when I had to return 22 out of 25 books for various reasons. Since none of them involved clerical errors only choice was Damaged in Transit and I described the issue with each as I entered them via cert #.
No other changes to procedure as far I can tell. CGC picked up shipping and should do the same sending them back. Three books were damaged so hopefully I'll hear from CGC before they ship them back. Rest of the slabs had excessive Newton Rings, some both front and back.

Well, CGC is not going to have a button suggesting that they caused the damage or missed QC issues so given the choice one just describes the issue and hope it's fixed. They know were the problem lays but adding a third "Reason for return" button isn't in their interest. I use a sharpie to circle the problem on the slab so that they can't miss it or forget to fix it.

Thank you @onlyweaknesskryptonite , i'll send them to CGC with a note explaining my preferences. Signatures are very clear and readable. This will be a good experiment. I will follow up in a handful of months, as to what happened.
Odds are in your favor that CGC will mention artist's name on label. I sent in a comic book with sig on page 1 that I forgot was there and Artist's name ended up being mentioned on blue label.

Did they end up telling you which of the two radio-buttons to select and if you're supposed to leave a comment?
Say what???? .... Not sure what you're asking.

This statement is untrue.
If no buyer sold a copy of Action Comics #1... that they first bought on the newsstand back in 1938... and they held it all this time... the meaningful dollar value would not be determined by 10 cents in 1938.
It would be determined by whatever price seller chose to sell at TODAY! And Buyers, if they wanted it, would have to make deal with Seller's price as benchmark... I thought this was common knowledge
10¢ in 1938 equals 3.5M in today's dollar

That is good stuff.
Did you contact them prior to make sure that however you fill it out it will be approved? Or do they have to approve it anyway before you get the label?
Always need to get approval before submitting ME

If this is a new case something isn't right. Can you upload a pic?

This has most of the answers for what to do..... You can try the "ASK CGC" thread to get direct answers or call customer service.

Reason I would want to do this is that there are many books that 9.8s are just too expensive. I can get 3 9.6s for the price for 1 9.8. Would It be worth it? Could I crack and press and get 2 9.8s for the price of 1.
Ya gotta ask yourself, do you feel lucky.... second question should be has the book already been pressed?
The defects between a 9.8 and 9.6 are so minute that, unless this is a long term investment, it may be worth the savings for a book that displays just as well, if not better than, the all holy 9.8.

Paint markers take a long time to dry and some may not fully dry at all. Nothing but trouble.

Hopefully it's debris outside the inner well and not what you fear.... When I return slabs with Mechanical errors, I take a sharpie and circle the problem area. That way the ME crowd won't miss it. CGC pays the shipping both ways. If you haven't done the paperwork yet, at the end you'll add shipping info and download a shipping label on their dime.

Just opened a box of 25, fresh off the UPS truck. No scuffs (well, one small one) on the cases. Big improvement there.
(22) with Newton Rings
(2) 9.8 X-Men 1 (1991) cover pulled away from bottom staple on both. Too tight an inner well perchance.
(1) 9.8 Thor 372 bent lower front corner.
Also need to return Ronin 6 for the third time. First it was debris, next it was Newton Rings and now it's Newton Rings and debris.

Incorrent. During my phone call, CGC remarked "tape pulled from cover" and that the matter will be investigated. Nevertheless - there never was any tape in the 1st place.

Just 'cause I feel like.....
... Although the rep said "tape pulled from cover", that's not what the Grader Notes read nor how I would interpret it. First thing that came to mind was if the bag was sealed with tape(?) and when book was removed the tape snagged to bottom of the book. Very common mishap that I'm sure sends shivers down the spines of quite a few collectors upon reading this. Anyway, pretty odd situation. Guessing CGC has the book in hand to review and hopefully it will work out in your favor.

Looks like OP is actually having issue with the "MY CGC" icon at the top of the page. Maybe there was a hiccup on the site when you tried it. I just clicked it and it's working fine.

Nice sketch but not a Copper Age book.
. It is what it is, most of the grades were on the lower side of estimates (not expecting many 9.8s in this batch), maybe 1-2 higher.

Newbie question - which should I get graded?

Smaller distribution. I believe sent to some military bases.
