  1. Fair. What caught me was the occurrence of same numbers which wouldn't happen in same submission (1-25) and unlikely to have same three numbers in subsequent submissions.
  2. Found a few other rejects still with representative CGC stickers. Doesn't help clarify as there is no handwritten mark. Appreciate this could be goose chase. Would be curious to know if anyone else who has done recent prescreen has example. Hard to believe my prescreens are the only ones that have handwritten annotations. Unfortunately the first few rounds of prescreens I didn't pay enough attention and believe I tossed the polys with the stickers. I'll keep looking for more.
  3. Quick, crude pics of those I unboxed today, across three different boxes. Intent was only to capture label and hand written number. What caught me was the common denominator numbers and when they were added together. I will go back in to a few short boxes I have close to see if I can find further reference.
  4. Of course. I didn't want to spam with a bunch of pics as OP if I missed something obvious. Will have up in next hour.
  5. Over the last few years I've done a series of submissions of 9.8 prescreens of my personal books, purchased new, from the '90s. Today, I found a small stockpile of prescreen rejected, raw books that I had yet to open. As I inspected them I spent more time looking at the CGC printed label associated with each. Aside from barcode, identification number and printed title of book I noticed each had a hand-written number or series of numbers. For example, 6, 8, 12 or 6 & 8. My first thought, given consistency, was that this is a code that denotes the representative defect. If so and that is existing information published by CGC or forum and I missed, shame on me. Second thought was that the 6, 8 or 12 is associated with grader. If code does denote defect would be great to be able to associate with book to understand max grade potential.
  6. Hey, all -- I should know this because I've submitted a pre-screen before, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to qualify my CGC submission with a pre-screen grade. Can someone help me out here? Do I just write it on the packing slip? Thanks! Kenny
  7. Hello, all - Id love to hear people's perspective on how they relate the 10pt grading scale and Overstreet Value. I've been using ComicBase as a means to catalog and valuate my collection. They equate a percentage value to each grade within the 10pt scale. Using CGC as example, they list 8.0/VF as 100% of the value of the comic. Anything above 8.0 scales above 100% (8.5/VF+ is 110%). Now understanding that the market will ultimately dictate the 'value' do others have a similar system they use? The last Overstreet I have has the maximum value listed at 9.2/NM- does that mean I should think of 9.2 as 100%? Hopefully this make sense to folks. I'm really just hoping to create a somewhat normalized baseline (which may not be possible ) Yours in comics!
