  1. @NickiO CS"If you join at the Premium membership level, your $150.00 grading credit will be automicatically applied toward all fees, including return shipping, and can be used for any service including reholder submissions. Any remaining credit will be available for future submissions until the credit expires on the anniversary date of your membership. " Maybe CGC should think about listing what the credit can be used for in the FAQ?
  2. I'm kinda embarrassed to admit I still don't know how to do multi-quotes. Anyways, I took a screenshot...
  3. If what @loganparkersaid makes total sense to you, I'm unclear why you were so very disappointed in other members stating their concerns.
  4. Jolly's right. They'll probably keep the grade. But it'll be CYA grade....no way would that receive a 9.6 if you submitted it raw.
  5. @MattM CS If I'm understanding you correctly, this 'no changes' rule (which is very inconvenient) isn't because there were problems in the past that this new rule would've prevented. On the contrary, the reason for this new rule is because your insurance carrier requires it. Is this correct? I've asked many times if anyone personally, or knows of anyone, who had a problem with their shipment that this new rule would've prevented had it been in place at the time. To date, I have not heard of a single instance.
  6. I agree it's ridiculous. But, unless I'm reading it wrong, that's exactly what they're doing. Read the posts by Mike from a couple of weeks ago. (it wouldn't surprise me at all if I'm not understanding correctly)
  7. I'm pretty sure that I was told (2 weeks ago in this thread) that debris is no longer covered. So confusing.
  8. @Randall DowlingAgreed, no rules were broken. No communication from the seller for a week is usually of no concern at all. However, if the seller has been on the forums multiple times and not answered PMs or posts, not only would I be concerned (especially if I had some of my hard earned money invested), but I would not have any qualms about 'voicing' those concerns. Frankly, I have no idea why you (or anyone) would have an issue with it.
  9. I know I'm being way too cynical, but I'm of the opinion that many , if not most, of the 'claims' made by CGC are pure carp.
  10. To be honest, you might get better luck with the claim now that CGC has (or will) open it. It just seems like they would have more pull than a civilian.
  11. I think those books have a cover that is the actual front of the book. If they did slab it with the correct cover facing front, you might be able to have them reslab it correctly for free.
  12. I'd be curious to know if the same mailperson does the same for residents who live on heavily trafficked streets. I wonder if it's dependent on the carrier...I've always gotten one of those little cards (that tell me I have a package that needs a sig).
  13. My biggest regrets (after selling comics) were never about money. They were always because I no longer had the book(s) in my collection.
  14. Ask them to review the footage.
  15. So dealers are a necessary evil?
  16. I never understood how someone can feel animosity towards anyone who flips comics, but have absolutely none towards dealers.
  17. Normal. Shout out to Spencer at CL. I've contacted him many times with questions. He's always quick to respond and always helpful.
  18. That word balloon looks much too big for the text.
