Not necessarily. They could get a qualified book with a fake sig, then pop out the inner well and put it in the SS case.

My buddy's TMNT 1 2nd Print finally got shipped. He got a 9.4...not bad!

Texted CGC and they told me it's "in the shipping room" and they're "working hard to get it all out".

Rarer than 9.8!

You're calling into question the entire professional grading industry. How do we know the book is not just a cover and the interior is blank? If there wasn't a gif, did the tree actually fall? When you go to Chipotle, how do you know whether your taco beef is actually beef? Or if it was spit in? So many things in life are taken on faith. Is CGC perfect? No. Does every tax dollar you give go to where it should go? Hell no. If everyone realized just how tenuous and risky investing in company stock was, the entire economy of the world would collapse. Just go get a taco, eat and enjoy it because life is too short to worry about every little thing. *Gets off the soapbox.*

Oh, no grade! Fun!

Saw something about a shortage of certain labels...maybe magazine sized labels are out...

Been in QC for nearly a week. What's the longest a submission has stayed in QC for you all? The Modern batch of 25 seemed to go straight from G/E/I to Shipped, but this one book is languishing in QC...

Thank you Mr. Lee for giving me a finale* to one of my favorite limited series of the 80's! *As much as one gets in comics, anyway...

Hey! No running and yelling at the same time!

Had my first experience with this cat(see what I did there?), he sent me an offer, I looked at his vast 20 year history and accepted. Bad idea. After paying, he immediately tried to talk me down by first asking about the deepness of the color then saying he disagreed with CGC's grade. First he wanted to cancel, so I obliged, then I noticed he asked if I could give him a partial refund. Wanted to ask him if he liked when people made offers, paid then talked him down, but I refrained. Still it reminded me of this:

Still it reminds me of this:

We need to develop some kind of an "Amber Alert" for at risk comics... It should be the "Swap Alert" and all CGC customers get a text to alert them the moment CGC receives a reholder or ME so all the amateur detectives can make sure it's legit. It takes a village, after all.

That's it I'm defecting.

Some 9.8s from this batch ...all from the Modern side of course: Crack and press from a 9.6: Raw:

Grading on the Vintage side of my submission was MUCH harder than the Modern side. I can't help but wonder if the Vintage grader had just been told his wife was leaving him right before his shift and that the grader who evaluated the Modern submission just got engaged. Both batches were from the same collection and graded similarly by me. The starkest difference was in page quality. Most of the Vintage came out OW/W, some even OW, while the Modern batch ALL came out with white pages. A Vintage example of a book I graded 8.5: A Modern example of a book I graded 8.5: Not complaining of course, but I just wish I had the happy grader on the Vintage side...

You're not on the CGC forums unless this gets posted at some point every day.

I'm gonna cut up my Action #1 page and sell bits of it at a time. Bet I'd get more than if I sold it intact!

But his picture was everywhere. It was such a big deal...
