I am done with CGC. That have reduced their turn around time however it appears at the expense of quality control and consistency in grading. 
 

Good luck to all who continue to use them from grading.

Good morning,

Thanks for your message. Without seeing your other orders, I can't say for certain but if you requested pressing on this order and not the others then, yes, that will create a much longer turnaround time.  

Please contact our customer service department for more detailed information regarding your specific orders.  You can reach us at 877-662-6642 or by email at: submissions@cgccomics.com.

Thank you!

Thanks.  I found my paperwork and yes I did request pressing on this order

Good morning

i have had a couple submissions show up as scheduled for grading that were sent in months after this order number CGC9991306682 which was received back in February. Is this still in received because I asked for pressing ? I should keep better records and I will moving forward

thanks

Episode 2 of Moondog’s Pop Culture Radio Hour is available now!

 

Back in the fall of 1993 the biggest news in comics was the upcoming debate between two friends of mine: Peter David and Todd McFarlane. It would take place on October 8 at ComicFest in Philadelphia. Basically Todd and his Image Comics brothers thought that the emphasis on, and popularity of, writers was misplaced and that artists were the real stars when it came to the creation of comic books.

 

Peter, at the time one of the most popular and prolific writers in the business, as well as Todd’s old creative partner on the Incredible Hulk, wrote some critical (and factual) comments about Image in his Comics Buyer’s Guide column. That led to Todd challenging Peter to a debate that would settle the question once and for all.

 

Well, I was there and Peter won the debate handily. Todd came out on the stage like a prize fighter in trunks and a robe. Peter wore a suit and tie. It was the kind of theatrics that unfortunately have no place in today’s button-down, business-first comic book industry.

 

Two weeks before the great debate Peter was interviewed on the Moondog’s Pop Culture Radio Hour show. It’s a great interview – especially when he’s explaining what his strategy will be.  Listen and enjoy.

 

All of the Moondog’s Pop Culture Radio Hour shows and more blasts from the past are available at my new website: www.moondogbuyscomics.com.

I can't believe that I, of all people, am going to give photo advice. Next time, it might help to take the picture with a contrasting background. A white cover on a white board makes it harder to see things, at least to these tired old eyes.

Thanks

Those are not stains on the bottom left hand corner. Just a shadow

I would appreciate your thoughts on where this copy stands in respect to grading. Would a pressing help get a higher grade ?

thanks all for your attention

4.0 to 4.5

I was looking into upgrading from second highest level to the highest level membership. I thought I would pay the difference, but it’s asking me to pay full price. Would appreciate an answer thx 

My understanding is that is how it works...they give you another credit of 150 to use and that is their reasoning

Is it fair to assume this has now been cancelled due to the restrictions put in place starting December 12th ?

I have a couple Thor 337 I am thinking about getting graded. Can I get some thoughts on how the ink transfer on some pages will impact grade ? Anyone have any thoughts as to what may have caused that to happen ?

2nd image is the one with ink transfer

thanks

You're sick of your family and want to venture out (with a mask, of course)? Well, head on over to the Philadelphia Comic-Con two days after Christmas.

Not sure if there is going to be the assigned entry as of yet, and I'll post updates when I find out, but there will be more dealer tables than last time (36 total, so I figure around 15 dealers). As soon as the list is finalized, I'll post that.

Admission is FREE and parking is free. No guest artists or door prizes.

I open them, but keep the bag (if there are any graphics on them) and whatever is inside. I use a razor to slice the bag as close to the top as possible so it's as intact as possible. If re-selling at some point, I can include the bag with the purchase.

Thanks
