Had it cleaned and pressed...

Came back this week 9.4 W pages here are the notes:

light fingerprints on cover
light spine stress lines to cover

Had it cleaned and pressed...

Came back this week 7.5 OW/W pages here are the notes:

crease left top of front cover
crease right bottom of back cover breaks color

Did anyone here submit for an Adam Kubert remarque?  I've seen some posts on books with signatures getting shipped back, but curious if anyone else is still waiting for a sketch.  Thanks.

What'd they charge you for it?

The paper at the bottom of the case ... nothing it was included at no charge.  It's too bad it wasn't big enough to have an artist sketch or something. haha.

I called and CS told me to run it through as a ME, so hopefully nothing there also.  CS was very helpful for what's it worth.

Just got a bunch back from the Adam Kubert signing.  Newton Rings don't bother me much but this random bit of paper ended up getting encased.

FYI @CGC Mike

It depends on the fingerprints. If they're oily fingerprints on black, then no. If they're made of matter sitting on top of certain white areas then yes. The same kind of matter fingerprint on color areas, maybe not so effective with dry cleaning.

It would be helpful to see the book and pics of the defect areas.

I can post it when I have it in hand, also provided I can find them.  For reference it was a Wolverine #79 so the back does have the black NBA Jam ad.

Really?

I'm guessing based on the fact that the OP made it seem like its supposed to be over-graded or under-graded...I choose the over

Guess this grade!! LOL  This book came back recently.

I’ll post later tonight 

9.4

Please send all your details to @CGC Mike, he's compiling this post-press fingerbends thing to submit to CGC QC.

edit: I apologize I thought it said fingerbends, not prints.

I guess that is part of my question.  Wouldn't the CCS treatment get rid of those also?  Or are fingerprints unable to be cleaned? 

Wouldn't a CCS press/clean get rid of "light finger prints on cover"???

I re-subbed a book for a signing.  I sent it in still in the CGC Case, previously graded 9.6 without any notes.  I know artist's can unintentionally 'flaw' a book during the signing, but after that happened to me once already with a JSC signing, I get them all pressed and cleaned now.  If it had that on the grader notes from before, I would be OK with it.  Now it's coming back 9.4 with just that note.  I feel like it picked up the finger print sometime after CCS but before grading.

Is it even worth calling CS about this?  I won't get the books back until maybe Monday so I can't tell yet if I can even see it through the case.

I contacted the seller,,,,  "The holders are open at the bottom and sealed at the top."

So I wonder if you could get a comic in and superglue it shut.  Also odd how he has listed and sold higher grade slabs of the same book ...

Would be interesting to see the seller's description on this auction

I put the link in the OP and here again

FWIW @CGC Mike this seller is willing to take offers ... they sent me one for $79

I'm not sure any reason to sell these to someone other than something shady.

So this is a thing...

not sure if they got delivered that way or if they cracked them open.  This came up on a saved search I had.  I hope the cases aren't this easy to crack open and resell to scammers.

Were you happy with the grades? 

Yes...it split 9.6 and 9.8s which is what I was expecting they all had press-able issues.  So it was def. worth the wait.  I can post more when I get them in hand early next week.   there are no mechanical errors.  Been following this thread lately and hoping to avoid any of those issues.
