  1. I just got back a box this week and defect free as well. That's a first in a long time. Inspector #5 stamped on the invoice.
  2. Crack that person_without_enough_empathy out and see why it's a 6.0. Then send it back through the puppy mill.
  3. Just got back a box of 25 moderns, and another half-assed job by encapsulation. Scuffs, scratches, hair, etc. @CGC Mike Does CGC use a buffer to polish small defects out of slabs?
  4. Looking through the completed sales of all_star_comics on ebay, there are multiple copies of multiple high-profile books that have been resold multiple times. Including CGC copies which makes it real easy to see it's the same book.
  5. New email address new account new fees. You can always reference your other account in your listings. I would try to get added to concierge. They are usually very helpful.
  6. Current modern graders at CGC. Hit or miss both ways with some of the grades.
  7. The same could be said about the current modern graders.
  8. sample of 49 raw books I have sent in over the last couple of months, three of which did not have detached covers when they left: higher than my grade: 1 same as my grade: 2 Lower than my grade: by one grade: 10 by two grades: 13 by three grades: 12 by four grades: 4 by five grades: 5 by eight grades: 2 by nine grades: 1 And a couple of these were further downgraded between MCS initial grading and when they were scanned and ready for me to price. I grade to what I think CGC would grade the book.
  9. No I did not send them all back but these scuffs are not from shipping. And if the ones by the grade are from the encapsulation machine they need to fix it.
  10. These are happening during encapsulation not during shipping. I took some new holders I had cracked out and it was very easy to duplicate these marks using one to scuff another. When I put them in the plastic bags they are shipped in I could not duplicate these marks.
