@CGC Mike Since everyone is asking about sigs, can you maybe inquire about Alex Ross? Thanks, Mike.

Correct label, no newton rings. So yes.

My Alex Ross submission is going to be my last. Hopefully i can see his signature through the Newton Rings.

You are correct sir, if you send in ME and CGC determines it does not qualify you pay shipping both ways.

https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/11571/mechanical-errors-policy/ Posted on 5/16/2023 Effective May 16, 2023, CGC has updated its Mechanical Errors policy for clarity and consistency. Certified Guaranty Company® (CGC®) accepts returns in certain instances, such as when the CGC submitter receives a collectible back with a typographical error on the label or an obvious scratch on the outside of the holder. These returns are called Mechanical Errors on the CGC online submission form. Effective May 16, 2023, CGC has updated its Mechanical Errors returns policy for clarity and consistency. All Mechanical Error submissions, regardless of error, must be received by CGC within 14 days of the submitter’s receipt of the collectible. In addition, returns can only come from the original submitter of the collectible. Newton’s rings (explained below), which can occur naturally under certain conditions, do not qualify as a Mechanical Error. Valid Mechanical Error submissions are not charged shipping, insurance or handling fees if the return is made within 14 days of the submitter’s receipt of the collectible. If CGC determines that a Mechanical Error submission is within its quality acceptance criteria, however, the submission will be returned in its original holder, and roundtrip shipping fees will be charged to the submitter. What qualifies as a Mechanical Error? There are two types of Mechanical Errors: Label defects Holder defects Label defects Certain issues with the CGC label qualify as Mechanical Errors, such as incomplete information on the label, inaccurate or missing data or the wrong label stock was used; for example, a comic book that received a Universal grade, which should have been encapsulated with the Universal Blue label, was instead incapsulated with the Green Qualified label. In the case of a label defect, CGC will relabel and reholder the collectible for a period of 14 days after receipt, at no cost to the submitter. Holder defects Obvious scratches, scuffs and/or blemishes in or on either the outer holder or inner holder that cannot be safely removed qualify as Mechanical Errors. Certain debris, such as obvious dust, loose particles or other material that is not naturally shed by the collectible itself, is also considered a holder defect that is submittable as a Mechanical Error. Optical distortions or effects, such as Newton’s rings, rainbows or other prismatic effects (see below), that are natural phenomena related to light passing through the outer holder, inner holder or a combination of the two are NOT considered holder defects, and do not qualify as Mechanical Errors. Neither do scratches, scuffs or blemishes on the inside of the inner holder (if used) that were caused by contact with the collectible. In the case of a holder defect, CGC will relabel and reholder the collectible for a period of 14 days after receipt, at no cost to the submitter. Why don’t Newton’s rings qualify as a Mechanical Error? Newton’s rings are the natural result of two pieces of plastic coming together. They may be more or less pronounced depending on the thickness of the collectible. The CGC holder is built with long-term preservation in mind, and its construction is necessary to ensure the protection of the encapsulated collectible. Newton’s rings are not an indicator of any deficiencies with the CGC holder and therefore do not qualify as a Mechanical Error. For more information about Newton’s rings, watch the video below.

Alex Ross goodness.

My apologies, post will be deleted.

Is that black one a 9.9? Maybe that's the difference?
