Second question.  I've collected 30 cent and 35 cent variants for years.  I was wondering if any of these have the MJV in them.  I've done a google search and found no info.  Thanks all!

I don’t think price variants were distributed at military bases and would not be candidates for the Mark Jeweler insert.  Who know what could happen by error at the printer.  Try asking in the price variant thread.  

Not sure how this got so beat up sitting in a box for 39 years

The SW 4 was actually left behind...it was maybe an 8.0 with all the spine ticks.

And this has also been discussed here in that I as well bought these issues off the rack and I never saw any Tattooz either in these books.

It’s a shame that while a production defect like an extra insert or an extra cover would be like striking gold, a missing insert gets you the GLOD!!!  

Picked up a really sharp Secret Wars #9. Same seller had a #4 that I missed out on.

Here's a smattering of what I grabbed yesterday.  After having taught my woman the history and rules of CPVs, I sent her into the bins to search out hidden treasures, and as usual she did not disappoint

Nice SW4!

Back from TerrifiCon signed by Ron Wilson. I should have asked him for more specifics about who did what for the cover art. Even Marvel's website says something different than CGC's label. Either way, the highest grade for any MJs I've submitted. The covers for these Fear books are great.

Sweet  book!  I did a similar thing getting a Tom Palmer signature on a Tomb of Dracula #8.

You beat me to it!  This is my favorite Christmas cover that’s in my collection!

To get the full story on why that show is good and sometimes heartbreaking, I’d recommend watching the Clone Wars series. TBH, it’s probably the best Star Wars storytelling that’s been produced to this point, so it’s highly recommended, regardless. 

Agreed!

Probably more like warming up than heating up but it sure did fly off the selves at both locations of my LCS.  I’d like to see a Bad Batch title even if just a mini series.

Has anyone tried to get the registry points updated for these?

They seem low, and some seem bananas low. Of course I say that after I've added a few books to my registry set! All the way up to #22 ranked set 30 Cent Marvels! Watch out @canickusI'm coming for that banner!

I don’t have many 30’s that are graded but I think I’ll join in.  What prompts registry point updates?

Did anyone ever subscribe to marvel comics in the early 80s? I did for a few titles and it was amazing that they managed to get to me in good shape. 

 

Same here (early 80’s).  I think I remember maybe a few that got mangled but the majority were in great condition surviving with only a brown paper sleeve covering them. 

They rescanned the one I just received back  last week. Maybe it depends on whether or not the label changed.

I am glad to hear that you were able to get a ME.  No, you will not be charged. In most all cases, it will be a straight reholder.  If a book was damaged in some way, it would be regraded.  However, that rarely happens.  

Thanks!

Did the OSF allow you to submit it the second time as a mechanical error?  Usually, you have to get approval for the second time, as the 14 day window has expired.  If it was approved, you would then submit it as a reholder, and we would change it manually to a ME after you have sent us the packing slip number.   We would send you a prepaid shipping label as well. 

I did have to call customer service and they assisted me with how to avoid the 14 day window.  Basically I used the invoice number of the 1st ME submission and added “-001” to the end.  The new submission was created as ME (I’ll pm you a copy) and I was provided a ppd shipping label.

At this point my questions are “will I be charged” and “will the book need to be regraded or just a straight reholder”.

Thanks! 

Last month I sent in a second mechanical error submission of the same book.  It was just received onto CGC’s system as this: 

          Service: MEMBER CREDIT

What is a status of Member Credit and was wasn’t it MECHANICAL ERROR like the first time it was returned?

Hello @icp004,

At this time, we will not be offering On-Site at any future shows. This may change in the future but for now, this will not be offered. We thank you for your understanding. 

Thanks for the quick follow up! 

Just following up on the OP’s question.  If not attending is is safe to assume that On-Site Grading a thing of the past?

ME submission correcting the missing Mark Jewelers notation is en route. 
 

I should not have jumped the gun by posting the CGC scan before I received the book.  I can’t believe these inner sleeve scratches don't show on their scan. Should the inner sleeve move within the case?  This one does so maybe it scuffed with shaking during the shipping???  This was a ME for label so can I submit a second ME on the same book?  I hope so because it looks terrible.  😭
