  1. That's what I saying 😂 I don't get it
  2. That should be changed as well. The 'modern age' is basically half of all comics ever. Modern as in 1990+ when basically every square inch of the interior pages are covered with ink without the ability to see the actually paper.
  3. But how can you tell the page quality if the page is covered? You know what I mean?
  4. I mainly deal with Golden, Silver and Bronze age books but I dipped my toes into modern books. I realized 95% of all the books printed are fully covered in ink but almost all have a small black area around the art. How could CGC give it white pages if the books pages are covered in every possible area with Ink. Would it not be impossible to give it anything besides white pages? Would it not make more sense to give it to grade on the pages color and other attributes. At my LCS they have several new books (Obviously) but some have better interior colors then others in terms of color saturation. Like: (Perfect=Color Saturation) Full Coverage (for perfect pages with no defects) Partial Coverage (near perfect pages with no defects Faded Coverage (faded pages with no defects) To be fair most books I have seen have little to no defects within the interior pages unless they are graded lower obviously. Just something that crosses my mind.
  5. Thank you that is pretty cool! I am definitely going to go!
  6. Okay I'll get right into it. I have a CBCS 6.5 Marvel Mystery Comics #34. I would like to get it crossover graded but some people at my LCS say that it is almost impossible to get the same grade. The owner said that they crack it out if they disagree with the grade even if you do not wish to proceed. Anyone on here have first hand knowledge?
  7. Basically a polite F you. I was told it would be safe and that it is very very rare basically and that "Things happens". I am no longer using CGC or CCS for anything else again. They are 2 out of 4 when it comes to book damage. "Good afternoon, Damage is always a possibility due to the interactive nature of pressing. This usually happens to comic books in fragile condition, which includes books that are tanned or brittle, spines exhibiting splits, loose paper on the staples, or pieces that are barely attached. To mitigate the possibility of damage, it is recommended that each book is examined for these defects prior to submission. When in doubt, the CCS screening service should be utilized to assess safety. Because it is impossible to ensure that damage will not occur, CCS will not be held liable for split spines, covers or pages detached from staples, or detached pieces. This is stated in the terms and conditions you agree to when completing your order form:"
  8. It was the first and only copy I have seen for sale so I took it. Now I have to find another copy and cgc said and I quote 'these things happen'
  9. I have but they told me that 'these things happen and that CCS is not at fault' and it left a really bad taste in my mouth. So far 2 out of 4 books sent out (All Golden Age mine you have gotten destroyed or damaged). I am debating on just stop sending them books.
  10. Hello, Well I had a copy of Black Terror #3 CGC 5.0 that was put into a slab rather harshly and done poorly which made it get crimped over time..... It is now a CGC 4.0. The case they used was damaging the book so them fixing the case issue they detached the cover and split the spine which made it drop a whole grade point. Well done CGC and CCS.
  11. Heat sealing. The book was never completely pushed inside which lead to most of the book being crushed

  13. I sent a book to get regarded and pressed from CCS (my first time ever using them and first time using Express Tier). I wrote EX all over the box as instructed. I shipped the book Monday of last week and it arrived Thursday. Friday through the CGC website it said that it was safely delivered but the submission form is not showing as though it has been delivered as usual. (It has been over a year since I submitted a book so maybe it changed?) I emailed CGC yesterday morning and have not received an email back and I am going to email them Friday if nothing changes. Does CGC update the submission form if it is going through CCS or do they only update it when the book is in their hands? Thank you.
