Pressing A Book With A Printer Crease
joeypost replied to RobHW's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
Someone inexperienced could easily turn a 9.6 book into an 8.0 book. Especially on newer moderns. Experience is the key. -
Absolutely. Even small timers like myself are being "crushed" by the sheer volume of comics coming in to process. Granted, I am a one-man band and don't have the resources CGC has at their disposal, but no matter how many more presses I buy, no matter how many hours in the day I work, I cannot keep up with the demand. If I do "X" number of books on Monday but get "X + 20" in that same day, I worked hard and went backwards. I am sure it is the same with them. Only difference is I keep things honest by not having a fast-track service or offering "special" opportunities like private signings, so first in/first out. Even though I am known more for my involvement in comic books, I do have a master's degree in business administration and have worked for fortune 100 companies. Even those companies, at some point in their growth cycle, bring in outside exerts to review their processes and help them adapt to the new growth and demands on them as a business. While certain members of CGC's management team may be very knowledgeable comic people, the real question that needs to be asked is if they are good businesspeople or truly qualified for their position. Time has a way of pointing these things out.

Pressing A Book With A Printer Crease
joeypost replied to RobHW's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
If the person doing the pressing is experienced enough, no notes would be needed. If you have to point out the defects to the person pressing the book, he probably shouldn't be working on books. -
Perez also had multiple ways he would sign books.

Severe Grade Drop after Signature Series Signing
joeypost replied to mlee17513's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
Many factors can contribute here. Was the book originally graded during a loose grading period? Were you fortunate enough to get a new grader who thinks a 9.6 needs to be perfect? Was it damaged taking it out of the slab? How we’re the books transported to CGC after the signing? Was it in-house? Was it damaged post signing? During encapsulation? I always recommend cracking books out yourself and providing 3-4 backing boards, especially for signings. And, as was stated above, always take good scans of your books prior to sending to CGC. -
HOS 92 Color Touch Opinion
joeypost replied to danchoi03's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
I'd be more concerned about the stain over the "T" than the dot of ink. -
Grader’s Notes on a recent submission
joeypost replied to DocGo's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
Agreed. Think there is a lot of “copy/paste” going on with some of these notes. -
Title really says it all. Looking for a Hulk 197 action page. Willing to trade 2 pages from my original art Hulk collection from Issues 195, 196 and 199. Depending on the page we can talk.

Put them on “the list”.

I had this whole run in 9.4 and better. Sold it way too soon.
