The comics section has a "Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?" forum. Is there anything similar for the cards?

Pangolin replied to MadGenius's topic in Comics General
Still waiting to get it back. I wrote to customers service today. Since Troy.division received it last Friday, maybe I will get mine in the comings days. -
Where in the world was the Quality Control at CGC???
Pangolin replied to Wally's Comics's topic in Comics General
I cannot tell, but this is possible. I returned this comic as the same time that I submitted another one with a cracked case. -

Nope. Pennsylvania contains books from the ‘40s only. Metropolitan Comics has a Pennsylvania Dutch Copy pedigree, but this latter is not recognized by CGC. -

Incredible! The same thing happened to me ... two years ago. I even returned it for a mechanical error (wrong label) and they sent it back to me with the same label. I didn't bother to return it again. -

Spider-Man 1 : Poly-Bagged Purple Webs Edition
Pangolin replied to Pangolin's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
I submitted this book as well as a few Silver and one Poly-Bagged Silver. I removed the poly-bag myself on the regular and the silver. CGC labeled the Silver as a variant (Poly-Bagged Silver Edition) with the following comments : "Poly-bag removed". I will write to the customer service about it. Thanks to all for your answer. -

Thanks to everyone for your precious pieces of advice. I will probably try to sell it with a small discount since there is a lot of MCP #72 with a 9.8 on eBay. After a few weeks, I will give it a bigger discount, and after a few months, I will try to auction it using lostboys strategy. I always do that when there is something wrong with the comic or the case. Last year, it was a hair between the case and the inner well. I should have specified that the spine tick breaks colour. Unfortunately pressing wouldn't change anything. I put the slab under the light and give it the right angle and the spine tick show up. See for yourself (picture below).

Thanks to all of you who provided me with a detailed answer.

Do'h even as a French speaking guy I should have known better. I edited the title.

This topic is not about the subjectivity of grading, but about selling strategy. Imagine that you received from CGC a freshly graded Marvel Comics Presents #72 with a 9.8. However, you think that the book looks like a 9.6 because of one spine tick. Any suggestion on how to advertise and sell it? I'll write in the description that the comics has a spine tick so I don't throw the can to another buyer. But I don't know yet if I should sell it the price of a 9,6, a 9,8 with some rebate or simply the FMV of a 9.8. Thanks for your time,

Thanks to all of you for your comments. I agree that it's difficult to explain how the spine tick on MCP 72 could have occured during encapsulation. So I'll drop this case... However, for SST 37, I still feel that this tiny corner chip probably happened during the encapsulation because I don’t understand how it could have stayed there during the grading process. It almost looks like it's torn from the page and "floating around". What do you think?

I received today a batch of slabs from CGC. I now always check if the 9.8 were damaged during encapsulation. Since this problem happened to me once in the past. I think that two slabs were damaged this time. They don’t look like 9.8 to me in their cases. So the problem probably occurred after the grading, during the encapsulation. Before I submit the problem to CGC, I would like to have the opinion of some members with more experience than me. I might be wrong. First comic is Marvel Comics Presents 72 and the second Saga of the Swamp Thing 37. My goal is to sell them and I want to be fair to the potential buyers. Thanks for your time.

Would a press fix that problem? What about the interior pages? And the stain? First comic Marvel Tales 235 Back cover
