No I don't, sadly. I used to scan every book but it got really time consuming so started to only scan the higher valued ones. But I did just message Mike to look into it further. I do know it was not there when I sent it in, and I use a 3rd party presser who hand delivers. So it definitely sucks!

You are SOL.

The white line on the back on the red text was not there at submission

That is a color breaking crease.

Do you have scans of this before you sent it in?

The more I think about this, I'm wondering if its the same book you submitted. The dif between a cracked 9.2 and what you described, sounds like someone used it as a Swiffer and cleaned a floor with it.

Wait until the part where they tell you they watched the footage of employees handling your book and since they don't see where they F'd it up tough sheet.

Once you get it open wide enough to slide your tool in, may I suggest a paint scraper

That's next level kink.

I like pie.

Something is wrong with that holder if it's sealed all the way around. 

I just got some books back from CGC and one had a piece of debris in it.

I could not slip a piece of paper in from the bottom to fish out the debris.

The top and bottom edges are now sealed like the sides.

Use the hammer to break the top edge by the label.

Doesn't look pressed to me.  This bend on the edge of the front cover is visible in the heritage scans and the zaneglor scans and would have been removed if pressed.

I might be missing something but couldn’t this just be a CPR? A 9.2 to a 9.6 def isn’t unheard of. 

9.6 would be beyond a gift grade on that book.

Very easy for the CGC to verify if it was reholdered and "missing the MJ insert" on the label.

Was it on the 4/8/22 date shown in GPA for that 9.2 cert #?

Do you have any info on the buyer that fits in with what we've seen here so far?

No it was a private sale this summer.

Shipped to a P.O Box in Kew Gardens NY and part of the name he used is part of one of the ebay ID's.

It's him.

Nice job on the 9.2.

You're sure this one is different than CORNER142 somebody already noted?

How did you determine this?

I sold him multiple books including this 9.2 X-Men 266 MJ

And you can add elysium142 as another one of the ebay account associated with this mess.

Sorry if this was already posted, but could someone review this book for possible tampering:

Same registry number, but IMHO the book sold on HA matches the grader's notes and is not the same book in the second link.  The back of the books are completely different; see staining on top of the second book.

definitely two different books

$926.13

I posted this before but I was censored and my post was deleted. 

A couple of 5 figure complaints here will get the ball rolling.

This may have already come up, but recently we have been getting slabs back with the top part of the label crunched. Just got back a box of 15 and each one has this to one degree or another. Do you know what may be going on here, @CGC Mike?

I just looked at some books I got back.  It appears they are folding the label in the wrong spot causing too much at the top.

Only option I have had since last winning something was Fed Ex.  

You might want to call and ask because all of my winnings from the past few years have been shipped USPS.

@Buzzetta have Heritage ship USPS?

Four ME's returned to me today, all four going back.

Scratches on the cases and debris inside.

Perhaps some pride in one's work would go a long way to fixing the problem instead of phoning it in.

Unchecking the box will enable full price items to combine, or allow you to request an invoice. It will have no effect on forced payment offers.

This is correct. 

The automatic payment is relatively NEW and cannot be opted out of as a buyer or seller.

That's the problem, the combined shipping.

Exactly.  I sell three cheap raw books via best offer EVEN THOUGH I HAVE COMBINED SHIPPING SET UP for 50 cents extra per book the buyer will pay full shipping on each book.

Each transaction will be a separate charge, and I will get charged 30 cents for each one.  And then I will have to issue two separate refunds for the shipping.

And no you can't opt out as a buyer or seller, i already asked.

Nickel and diming at it's finest.

@CGC Mike   So I just received an order where I sent in a 2nd generation slab for a reholder.    The reholder came back with significant scuffing across the front of the book.    I tried to create mechanical error submission but when I input the certification number (which is the same cert number as the original slab and still shows the original Aug 2013 grade date in the system) I get the message that my holder was received more than 14 days ago when it was actually received 3 days ago.

What’s the workaround on this one? 

Use the new submission number to create the ME.

Example submission number 4444444 book # 3 in submission use 4444444003 as the CGC serial number in the ME.
