I will throw my two cents in the ring in the hope that CGC reverses this poorly considered move.

THE WHOLE POINT OF SLABBING IS SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE BUYING!!!!

You have now hidden all these defects from buyers. Why would I want to slab a book for sale now? Buyer would want the grader notes.

If I am buying a slabbed book I will have to track down the grader notes. I don't mind most things but will not buy a book with tape. Now how do I know if it has tape of not??? Extra time to find the notes, if I can.

This destroys a ton of credibility for CGC slabbed books. It looks like things are being hidden. It is not good. 

This looks like what an unscrupulous seller would do - not disclose things.

Very bad idea.

Completely agree.

If CGC doesn't want to mention the defects on the front cover than they should definitely do it on the back cover. 

This is ridiculous - i wont spend time at shows inputting each number, which will equal less sales for dealers. 

Instagram/Whatnot Sales - how will that work? 

Great seller, just got my book.

Thanks

You're the one who wants to return it, I agree with the seller in this case.  Lose a $100 or lose $14K?  take your pick.  At least he took it back.  sheesh.  

I purchased a 9.8 not a 9.0 in a slab of 9.8 , so why am i the responsible one? Its their fault for not inspecting before shipping it to me. So relax with your sheesh...

Happy Holidays!

Did you ask though? 

I did, they said no refund on shipping, which I think is bs

There was a backcover, no damage was present 

Got my refund check today, took awhile, shipping was not refunded so i lost $100

But you never answered Foolkiller's question:

"When you shipped it back did comic connect agree to actually take it back?  Or did you ship it just asking for a refund?"

I emailed Vincent with pictures and he told me to send it back. I mailed it out the same day by priority overnight. Btw I don't think they will refund me for the shipping 

This is the front cover for ppl who wanted to see it

Hi, sorry for the delay response. I sent it back and Vincent agreed that the book is damaged and that he will fully refund me. Still waiting on the check.

Where did you buy this book at? 

I don't think the damage is due to SCS, but as others have noted, it probably occurred when the book was encapsulated.  It's really a shame too, because that is a great looking book. 

got it from ComicConnect, through make an offer

Pretty much what I was going to say.

It presents as a much lower grade copy, despite what the 9.8 sticker, or the seller themselves,  might claim.

Yup. I’d look at the situation from the opposite perspective; as overpaying for a 9.0 or such by $1000s, not receiving a 9.8 at a price reduced by $1000s below GPA.  Misdirection, not a ‘bargain’, especially if the seller failed to provide Nick with a back cover scan and full disclosure.  

Difficult to believe that anyone who owns an UHG, extremely expensive key would've been unaware of this when they thought about consigning the book to an auction site.

I guess that's why the price was so low, i shipped it back today.

No, he didn't

It was probably cheap for this reason.  I have no clue what you paid but I would imagine that it's five figures.  That's considerable money for a book you will ALWAYS think about if you keep it.

Hi, I paid 14,500$

Good morning everyone, 

I recently purchased Hulk 181 CGC 9.8 for $14,500.00 , i was really pleased since it seemed like a great price. I got the book and noticed a crease on the back cover. 

My question is: Should i keep it or return it? The OCD is killing me, but i doubt i will ever again get this book for this price.

Any advice will help.

Thanks

Good day,

I recently purchased this book in a 9.8 CGC, after inspecting the book i noticed that the book has a crease on the bottom back cover. Is this normal for a CGC 9.8? I spent a lot of money on this book, so any help will be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you

I know that comics get a lot of marks on them from time but I was wondering if someone could help me identify this one.

Some selling venues stamped the comics on the day of arrival. It helped them keep track of how long they had each issue for sale, and presumably helped with tracking when to return unsold copies. All copies were stamped.

i offered $14500 but the seller wants $19500

Just quoting Gpa here but $14,400 for ow 9.8 on 9/26. 

Thanks, do you think 14500 is a fair offer?

Hi,

I have the opportunity to purchase Hulk 181 CGC 9.8 Off-White pages, what is the going price for this book? I saw the White pages sold for 20k and up, not sure about off-white

Thanks for all your help
