Couple reasons how it could be missed...

1) The grader enters this info into a computer presumably. They forget to click it properly from the dropdown. It is a mistake but one that I am sure happens.

2) The grader does not check the interior. Which is a terrible omission but you can bet it has happened (grading last book of the day maybe) and they just look front and back, yup its a VF, let me enter this in and be on my way home.

I have also had "Mark Jewelers" variants missed on two different successive submissions to CGC..they did relabel and reholder them after my doing the "mechanical error" resubmissions ..I am at a loss, though as to how the MJ variants could be "missed" if the grader did actual page counts and inspections..

Good morning,

Thanks for your message.  It should be noted automatically by the graders but if it was missed in the past, you might want to put a sticky note on the bag containing your book noting that it has a Mark Jewelers insert just to alert the grader to be on the lookout for it when they start to examine your book.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, Jennifer I will do that on future subs....although I can't figure out how the grader could miss the inserts if a page by page count and examination is performed as part of the  grading process..

I had to return 4 comics to CGC recently for relabeling because they all had the Mark Jewelers inserts, but the label on the graded slabs did not identify them as having the inserts..I intend to submit more books soon for grading, some of which will contain the Mark Jewelers inserts..do I have to annotate on the submission form which books contain these inserts, or will the graders insure that the proper notation is made on the labels??

While cataloguing my collection, I came across this Nova # 2 book with double covers..Am thinking of submitting it for grading, as it seems to be in good condition except for the tear on cover ..top right ..any thoughts on worthiness of submittal??

I have decided not to submit for a regrade..thanks to all who offered suggestions and commentary..

Just got my ASM 300 graded by CGC..would appreciate any thoughts on whether a clean and press might bump it up a bit higher if regraded..thanks. Graders notes:

medium slice right center of front cover

very light spine stress lines to cover

very small tear right center of front cover 

thanks for the replies..sorry if posted to wrong forum..there were 2 grader notes:

1.light creasing to cover

2.light spine stress lines to cover

I have an "uncanny X-Men" # 101 that was recently graded as 7.5 by CGC..The graders notes were"light creasing to cover" and light spine stress lines to cover"..This was my first submission to CGC and I think I made a mistake by not having the books cleaned and pressed before grading, maybe..could the defects listed be removed or lessened to the extent that a regrade after a C&P could bump up enough to make it worthwhile ?? (could only upload these two files with this msg)
