"In the end, all that matters is what was true and truly felt and how we treated one another ... and that's it." Saw this on Bleeding Cool this morning ... https://bleedingcool.com/comics/carlos-pacheco-suffering-from-als-posts-his-final-comics-cover/

An update from our friendly CGC Registry Administrator ...

Hi! This is in regards to Submission 4124199. Now you have to understand, I am very meticulous about the books I send in for grading. Even using a magnifying glass to look for flaws. So when the above mentioned submission status changed to Shipped and I saw the grades, I was like, "What the heck?" Line item 4 in particular. I thought was a sure fire 9.8 but it instead it received a 9.4? Now I realize grader notes are put in at the discretion of the grader but they would have really helped here to help me understand why the 9.4. Yesterday, my Submission arrived on my doorstep. I immediately looked at all the slabs and now I'm even more confused. All of these books look immaculate. There are no spine creases, corner dings, print burns, etc. The only odd thing I noticed was that they were all encapsulated in holders far too large for the books' size. The only conclusion I can come up with is, "Was the grader for this submission having a bad day and decided to take it out on my books? Circling back to the main question - Does CGC have a Second Look service? Especially for that 9.4? Thank you!

Hi and Welcome to the Boards! Just FYI, new set build requests should be posted in this thread: 2022 "THIS SET DOESN'T EXIST, PLEASE BUILD" REQUESTS

A new acquisition

As someone once said to me, In Business busy is a goal not an excuse.

Thank you, then it's not just me. I've also been told the graders will correct it but like you say it's not always done. I've always had to intervene and call CGC. And if you get a response something akin to "Well, we'll pass this on to our Verification Team." WHY is there a need for a Verification Team. Shouldn't the Verification Team be the graders?!? Regarding your Mark Jewelers designation, if it was on your packing slip but not described as such in Submission Tracking, I would call CGC right away. Good luck!

I don't know if this happens to anyone else but I would highly suggest when your submissions hit Submission Tracking that you check to see if what's listed in your Submission Tracking matches what you put down on your packing slip. If you don't, it's a recipe for an ME. I submit a small number of books at a time and far too often these past several MONTHS, there is always one book or two from my packing list that is changed to something totally different when it hits SFG or GEI. I ask why this keeps happening and I've yet to receive any kind of explanation. To illustrate, I've attached an example of a packing slip with the books listed and what they were ALL changed to when they got to GEI.

Hi Brian, Can slots please be created for the issues listed below in Sets: Batman (Rebirth- 2016) and Batman (Complete with Variants)? Batman 125 Paquette Variant Cover A Cert #2677288010 Batman 125 Suayan Sketch Cover A Cert #4111495001 Thank you! Slots added per request 9/26/22

Surprise, surprise. Just received notice that 4 of my 6 slabs are now available for consignment. The only thing puzzling is what happened with the remaining 2? Well, something is better than nothing!

Yeah, Conan stated that back on 9/1. Seems to me when Borock came on board, everything he brings in gets top priority. And I never hear from or talk to Este anymore. I always get her assistant Andrea.

It's now 9/9 and my six slabs are STILL in the processing stage. So essentially, come Monday (9/12), MCS will have had them for an entire month.

Hi Brian - In set Batman (2011), could you please rename a slot? Instead of Batman 25 Sketch Edition can you please rename it to Batman 25 Sketch Cover? (Cert #0261165015) Thank you! Slot renamed per request 9/19/22

I sent in six slabs for consignment/auction which MCS received on 8/12. They just started processing them this past Monday, 8/29. Hopefully I'll receive an e-mail soon that they're ready for assignment.

Indeed he did! This was one of my favorites

Off the top of my head, the only ones I can think of are Doc Savage 2 and Shanna, The She-Devil 1.

Stadium Comics just reached out to me and I think I'm all set. Thanks to all especially you, @Sigur Ros

PERFECTLY ok - thank you very much!!

I e-mailed them directly at both orders@stadiumcomics.com and info@stadiumcomics.com. As of this writing, still haven't heard back from them. Glad to hear you received your order.

Now back to Stadium Comics - anyone? Thank you.

Well, we can derail a little bit Yes, one of three Best Forumites in the 2022 CGC Registry Awards .... https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/10428/

That's the thing, I bailed on Facebook and Instagram a long long time ago. Thanks for the suggestion tho. And a belated congrats on your award, BTW

Does anyone happen to know if Stadium Comics has a presence on these boards? I have a few outstanding orders with them and I've e-mailed them several times with zip in the way of responses. And their website says they're open only 1 day a week (Wednesday)? And you call the number on their website and it says if you questions about online orders, to e-mail them! I was just wondering if anyone physically shops at their store or if there's something going on with them? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
