    Hello!

    Thank you for reaching out. The book will need to be reviewed once it comes back for Mechanical Error as we have no way of knowing if the grade will decrease without first receiving it in hand. As for the second book with debris inside, please submit this as a Mechanical Error as well so we may reholder it for free and remove the debris. 

    Thank you very much! 

    I filled out the Mechanical Error form online. I'm just waiting for CGC to email me an international (Canada) shipping label. It's been a week, and I'm still waiting for the shipping label. I think I should call CGC soon to find out why its taking them so long to email me a shipping label. 

  2. I have the same issue. I recently acquired three 9.8 slabs that have no inner well. They are just sandwiched between two mylar sheets. One is was graded in feb/2018 and the other two were graded in 2016. 

    My friend had a slab with no inner well from 2016. It's graded at 9.8. He cracked it at a show to get it signed and it came back a lower grade. Because what happened is books that are only sandwiched between two mylar sheets can get warped over time and therefore might need pressing. So he complained to CGC and told them it was the faulty slabs that made the book that way. In the end CGC fixed the issue and gave him back the 9.8 grade for free. That was a few years ago. 

    For me, I don't want to submit under mechanical error reholder and have my 9.8 books come back a lower grade due to the faulty slabs from 2016. Because the books might need pressing due to being sandwiched between two mylar sheets. Can I please get some advise or help on this ?

    I have another with a different issue. This one has an inner well, but it has two small plastic shards floating inside between the inner mylar and the case. Would that qualify for mechanical error ?

     

    Thanks very much! :)

    Got my books the other day from the Tynion signing. My 9.8 percentage has been probably 75-80% lately for modern submissions. 16 of 16 9.8's for the in-house signing/grading. :banana:

    I must be getting better. ;) 

    Are you selling your Thrawn #1 1:50 Matina variant cgc 9.8 ? I'm looking for one.
