  1. The retrieval and sending of paid for graders notes is 100% automated.
  2. That's CGC's term for slabs that have issues that need correcting; wrong labels, cracked in shipping, faulty heat seals, and the like. Thanks for the explanation. Looks like CGC issued new serial numbers instead of retaining the old serial numbers. Interesting.
  3. I've never seen MECHANICAL ERROR before. What does that mean? @RockMyAmadeus
  4. When CGC was in NJ, they had fluorescent lights. When they moved down to sunny FLA, they changed their lighting scheme.
  5. so you are correcting the guy because his 11 year old self got it wrong almost 40 years ago? The fact checkers at Chart Your Course were asleep at the wheel.
  6. I remember the SW either going to 7.0 or to 7.5; i forget the others.
  7. I certainly can expand on this. I've had invoices that took hours to get through. Invoices where every book was not only difficult to grade, but each book had missing pages, restoration, pieces cut out, tape, detached covers, etc. So not only do all those notes have to be entered into the system, they also have to be put on the label as well, and then double checked by a restoration expert to make sure all the restoration information is entered correctly (and spelled correctly, too). It's mentally exhausting. I remember one book (I believe it was a Famous Monsters Yearbook) where the first 16 pages were printed twice and the remaining pages were omitted; that one took quite some time to figure out, and required the help of another senior grader. So you see, grading comics isn't all fun and games...it's a lot of work.  Thanks for taking the time to type that out. The manufacturing error book you referenced sounds like a book I would submit. Sorry Have you thought about entering one (or both) of grading contests here on the Boards?
  8. Other Boardies will be there. You should introduce yourself.
  9. Read through this thread to see if you want to submit a PGX book to CGC based on others results. https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/440674-cgc-crossover-special-get-50off-for-cgc-to-grade-other-companies-slabs/page/4/
