Thank you, me too.

Congratulations to the winners! Thank you mike for everything!

naw.

He froze. Also so did his tauntaun.

I wonder why.

No it was mentioned just a few pages ago above are the quotes and here is another thread .

First of all if this book had happend any other time I might have deferred to CGCs opinion, shrugged and said maybe I missed it (although I seriously doubt it had staples that looked untouched, all tight and had similar cover debris / discoloration as well as the cut of the covers.) Raw. Prior to clean / press / signing So this book . I sent the first time for a press, clean, and signing. CCS did clean the outside cover , but best I can figure they (Like CGC ) didn't even open it the first time [they missed the double cover] and just pressed it. 1st time received back. Instead what I believe happened is that CCS cleaned only the outside cover then humidity/ press which now has caused the internal cover to look worse and when CGC got this back on its second trip they jump to married as the explanation of a lower grade cover inside. plus the insert?!?! Scans just now. It will have to go back yet again for a review as I think some new grader got his mits on this and just didn't know what he was looking at and said married.

Ok. So I originally sent 4 books to the Terry Austin signing of those 3 had to make a return trip. I just got those back today. You can see the full story here. I have 2 problems with these that just returned. First the reason all 3 have to go back. Puddling.

Was ready to post my 3 ME originally Terry Austin signing books as they showed up today, unfortunately they will be posted in the were in the world was QC thread and I have already posted them again in my journal here if you want to see all the issues. I will just say and show these. The backs. Puddling. all 3. Originally sent 4 books to the Terry Austin signing. 3 went back. Now 3 making their 3rd trip.

So now for the nasty surprise that was hiding and the reason all 3 have to go back.. again..again.... hard to see in scan although still wanted to add these as you can see the inner well isn't really heat sealed well in random places on some of them, but the big issue. Puddling.. all 3.. Seriously CGC WTF?!?!?!

Last. So this book . I sent the first time for a press, clean, and signing. CCS did clean the outside cover , but best I can figure they (Like CGC ) didn't even open it the first time [they missed the double cover] and just pressed it. Now after they get it back they say the interior cover is a 6.5 and that both it and the insert are married?! First of all if this book had happend any other time I might have shrugged and said maybe I missed it (although I seriously doubt it had staples looked untouched, all tight and had similar debris / discoloration as well as the cut of the covers.) Instead what I believe happened is that CCS cleaned only the outside cover then humidity/ press which now has caused the internal cover to look worse and when CGC got this back on its second trip they jump to married as the explanation of a lower grade cover inside. plus the insert?!?! It will have to go back yet again for a review as I think some new graded got his mits on this and just didn't know what he was looking at. Also see below as this is not the only book or reason it is going back

Next. Ok this time they noted the interior Signatures.

First.

Ok so I received the 3 books back from their second visit to St. Augustine today.

naw..
