@QuasarComics posted that Cert # 1258948016 (Marvel Spotlight #5) didn't come up either. I looked up some of the preceding books in the submission and nothing came up.

No books under that submission come up either. Other than possible pre-screen rejects, there should be at least 15 other books with this one.

Recently received my first batch of CGC graded comics back, and one comic got a 9.6, and in the grader notes, it's states 'it has a small scuff of the front bottom right of cover'.

The back top left would be what the grader was talking about if he had flipped the book over.

A cheque for a couple hundred??

More like a CGC credit towards your next submission. 

Ouch,

I wonder how much a good press and clean would help. I'm definitely going to send to the best one I can for that. 

I think that book has a lot of potential if you find a presser who will love it like it's their baby. Not saying anything bad about anyone in particular.

Yeah right. Where?!

not trying to solicit the competition but this is one area CGC is lacking.

The threshold has and always been is you make a $1.00 Profit you are supposed to report it on your taxes.

BTW I hate big govt.  Jut stating the rules of USA tax life.

I cut my grandmothers grass when I was a kid.  Yes they want their cut

Where is that rule though? I'm not educated in tax law AT ALL. I just hear the conspiracy is there is no law stating this. IDK. I'm just wonder why nobody can ever show this proof. Like it's just "been this way forever". But why do I hear people who can afford the court fees and have the patience end up winning these lawsuits? It's the fear of being couped up in jail waiting 15 years for your case to finalize is the scare tactic as well I'd think. Maybe I should Google this. I'm just asking you because I'm reading through this depressing topic. LOL.

Very true. I know they had to pay a healthy fine to the DEA for allowing pill presses to be sold, so yeah, not surprising. 

You don't want to arrest the crook BEFORE he commits the crime. Let the seller sell this fake chit and then throw the book at him.

Of course Ebay would say it doesn't violate their policy...they make money off fraudulent items as well as contraband, so why would they care,,they are incredibly corrupt

They'd also rather go through the sale and deal with the eventual claim and refund just so they can have your money for a little while.

Please send the 15.000 books to CGC for 9.9 prescreen first before you sell.

Next time there'll be no next time...

Chad has reached out to me via PM, apologized and made a nice donation to the Hero Initiative. From my perspective I consider the transaction resolved. Obviously, others are free to retain their own opinion.

I'm glad you two talked and it's resolved. My opinion is that he should not be allowed to sell here again. He has eBay and obviously is okay selling elsewhere. It's the disregard for the rules here that should get him banned. He should have never had the item listed on both venues in the first place. The end. Tired of hearing people's pity party "I needed quick money." That's fine. Then stay on top of your chit.

Chad has reached out to me via PM, apologized and made a nice donation to the Hero Initiative, which remedies the probation nomination. Therefore, I am withdrawing the nomination. Obviously, others are free to retain their own opinion.

How much was the donation? Did he give until it hurt and then give some more?

Alright I'll take it.

Too soon?

If it’s any consolation, I’m pretty sure Mr. D-bag ultimately ended up with less money after fees by taking the $1800 from the eBay sale versus the $1650 that @Ryan. was willing to pay.

Exactly! They take 14% so he gets $1548.

I remember the print ads back in the day where he had a seemingly endless supply of Comico Primer # 2. 

I remember obtaining my first copies of Primer 2 and Grendel 1-3 from Joe Koch. Been my favorite comics ever since.

Welcome to the boards! I say 4.5.

The problem is, our Senior Site Reliability Engineer is no longer employed with the company.  I am hoping a replacement will be found.

I hope he wasn't swapping books. Yikes.

For the record, my last pending submission with CGC has been shipped today. At this time I am taking a pause from submitting anything else. Not necessarily because of this issue, but because I don't feel like I have anything I want to submit right now. HOWEVER, I will note that the last few submissions I received AFTER this thing started came back really nice. I'm talking 4 submissions throughout February to today consisting of 26 comics and 2 magazines came back amazing. Cases were sharp and tight. Plus the high rez scans and tons of graders notes on everything below 9.4. That's my sample size and contribution to the data pool.

You may get more help in the copper thread. Some people who frequent there may not check over here as much. I did dig through a collection of obscure 80s books and no luck. I’ll keep an eye out, though. 

Thanks! Maybe I try that. I was wondering if I should post in the Want to Buy section since I do want to obtain a copy if it does exist... which at this point I believe there are a few issues floating around.

Maybe some dumb scammer swapped a higher grade book. 

Still looking. 

I picked up a copy of the first issue recently so I could put it next to my ASM 134 and giggle. When I was younger I would get the two "confused". Lol.

I also just picked up 78-83 as I wanted to fill in some early Punisher appearances. I passed on issue 80 though because I read that was a filler issue or something.
