MAY1979

If color loss is on the bindery it can be 9.8 but anywhere else it seems 9.6 max. Technical grade and how a book presents I think does not take effect until 9.9 and 10 As they say "buy the book not the label". I've many 9.6 and 9.4 that present much nicer than some of my 9.8's. There are also weak 9.8's and strong 9.8's

CGC can simply give everyone the the same level of QC and Inner-wells that huge submitters or influencer's like Joey receive. No reason this has to continue when the large submitting entities are not and have not been affected - it also proves the issue is known, and a work-around/solution/fix already exists!

Good Lord that's a lot!

Reading the comments on that video and seemingly everyone agrees that it is Damaging Comics. Rare to see 99+% agreement on anything. look at the comment by @Dave616 the youtuber pinned.

“I spent half my money on gambling, alcohol and wild women. The other half I wasted.” - WC Fields

Axelrod, If you want them pressed by the best, not to mention the most professional, plus evade inner well issues send them to Joey for pressing + submission.

Agreed those who need a fix would have sold it for quick $50. Never underestimate the need for a junkie to get a quick fix. The drugs or lack thereof are in Total control. BTW I do get @Buzzetta rather humorous comment

If accounting for inflation in a generic manner the gap between 2019 and 2024 on that book is less.

Extending my date for purchasing, unless viewed in hand first, back to Dec 2021 or earlier graded books. I do expect when I receive my affected books back from CGC to be sickened that they are still concave or worse... My next overall is to simply drop graded Comics and go full-time buying SGC and PSA slabbed Trading Cards instead. Unless somehow Newport Beach's Comics effort becomes an unlikely success.

Love your Callen

Thanks for the professional and on the level response... Please do let us know if you start receiving back books with the issues mentioned in this thread.

In Texas seemingly anything goes for an action house. Also read up on Halperin. BTW even houses such as Southbys are not above board. Oh if your comment was sarcasm then huge kudos

Perhaps on these reholderings CGG should use the same process and or inner wells and or level of QC, they apparently supply to their larger submitting entities like Joey. If huge volume modern submissions from Joey Et Al. have not been affected then clearly no one else's need to be. I wonder if Joey would consider adding a service for being a middleman for reholders? If those he personally sends back are returned perfectly flat it could very well be a business opportunity at least in short term on higher dollar concaved books. @joeypost do you think it's an actual opportunity? Or simply a poor idea?

@Ninja0215 in above post I was referring to the start date of the inner wells causing books to concave

Appears the start date, is sometime in Dec 2023

They might have also been able to simply keep books in SFG and GEI a bit longer. No fiscal loss, no books damaged, and no harmed reputation as additional TAT complaints get lost in the normal din.

Were your High Value's also Vintage, or 1975-present? If they were Vintage is any one noticing a pattern in which Vintage seems not affected? If that is the case, no pun intended, then the question is what is different in either the process (including machinery) or physical resources/supplies utilized? Then couple that with large submitter's of 1975-present book, like JoeyPost, not being affected - means the issue does not have to exist nor is convex-ing or concave-ing even remotely normal, never mind not even being acceptable in any manner.

Love the phrasing in the 1st panel! Especially the final sentence.

They look great with those old school Flips.

My friend - and I mean that, be very proud of your registry sets. They clearly show you love Comic Books and do not treat them as a commodity. It addition to providing images and description for virtually every comic, you also add images in your set descriptions which is something very have the know how or take the time to do. I wish there were many more in the hobby like you. Your registry sets seems a very good reflection of the quality of your character. Hold your head up high, both you and your sets deserve it!

Mine now has this status: Service = REHOLDER COMIC Status = Scheduled for Grading The books I sent back were Convex-ed but no color breaking ticks. Books all appeared to me to still be 9.8's, and I'm very strict, yet they are now SFG status. Unless that is normal when doing a ME or Re-holder? I've only done 1 ME in in past so i forget and have never done a prior re-holder in my 24 years of submitting to CGC - wow it's been nearly a quarter century, my first sub was June 2001 @MadGenius my friend, I will report back as well.

Polypropylene...and that seller knows it! Been going on for years. I prefer mylar as it does have a bit of inherent UV protection. Currently I use tabloid mylites but there is an extra inch of space on each side which looks kind of bad.

MCS has nice CGC Mag size mailers, wonder if they custom made for them....

I've never found Mylites proper for CGC Mags, seems not enough demand. I recall BCW may have had polypropolyne for tem at one time. Anyone have box reccomedation for CGC mags?

On CBCS you are correct as no reason existed to do so Thus my mention of CGC. BTW you were in the majority opinion at the time and there are still some dealers who have not budged. You were smart enough to flip flop early enough to not fall behind. Changing ones mind based on data is a positive thing. Did you interpret it differently? Holders not fitting into Existing Boxes or being too large for 914M2 legal size Mylites actually is a big deal. Its the type of thing that may prevent folks from even testing PSA out. Time will tell, but as of now seems not to be a smart move
