  1. Finally opened, received and SFG today. 1 Book Mechanical Error Submission 2024-04-03 Delivered to CGC/CGC Scanned Delivery 2024-04-16 CGC Received/SFG
  2. From your before and after images, it appears the book was irreparably damaged either during shipment or at CGC. I think you'll need to contact CGC and request the declared value for your book.
  3. My shipment received Apr 3rd has still not been opened. I contacted customer support this afternoon and a very helpful representative opened a ticket for this shipment. Hopefully I'll know something in a couple of days.
  4. My ME order arrived at CGC last Wed with "ME"'s all over. Has apparently not been opened yet. Texted CGC regarding this yesterday and had one of my poorer CS interactions with them. Lots of problems... 1 Book Mechanical Error Submission 2024-04-03 Delivered to CGC/CGC Scanned Delivery
  5. I also recently shipped a 1-book ME to CGC that arrived there Wed Apr 3rd, and it has also not been opened yet. "ME"s everywhere on the box!!
  6. For future reference, I believe you can get CGC to hold your shipments if you are going to be out of town when they are likely to ship. But it's definitely important to inspect your slabs for potential issues when they arrive.
  7. Hi @Stefan_W, sorry about your streak. I've had to return books for scuffs for the last 18 months or so, and I haven't noticed any recent changes as far as scuffing standards. The way I look at it is if I were to sell a slab and I have to explain/disclose the scuffing, it's too much.
  8. This is why we have the Mechanical Error submission.
  9. @Upgrayedd2, I was able to pull up a couple of my books on the "Verify CGC Certification" page.
  10. Below is book 2. This book is mostly text, and the scuffs don’t show up great in the images. So, I have circled the areas of scuffs. Back they’ll go…again.
  11. I recently received a 2-book ME Submission back from CGC. These slabs, like many others I’ve received back recently, have quite a number of scuffs within the slab. Below is book 1:
  12. If you allow 2 days off for both Christmas and New Year's, you're just over the 15 day published turnaround time, and pressing apparently hasn't started. It never hurts to call or email CGC customer service...
  13. 2023-12-11 Shipped Good Slabs! I'm hoping for a Christmas Miracle!!

  16. The website is ...interesting. They sure throw around "CGC"...
  17. @Gaard, if my math is any good, I believe that @GeeksAreMyPeeps has submitted 3 of his books 5 times in an attempt to get a good quality encapsulation. I feel very confident that the last 7 books shipped back to me were submitted more than 5 times. And 2 of them are on there way back...
  18. @GeeksAreMyPeeps, my experience is similar to yours. My 1st submission to CGC was in Mar 2021, and for the 1st year or so, the quality of the slabs was excellent. Since the summer of 2022, there have been issues. Lots of scuffing, newtons for a while. I've attached my recent submissions. Note they are all MEs, except for 1 reholder. I have also been on a cycle of sending submitted slabs back to get problems fixed. Hopefully the cycle ends soon.
  19. 7 Book Mechanical Error Submission. I hope that by it going from QC back to SFG, they're correcting the case issues I have been having to return as MEs. We'll see. 2023-10-04 Delivered to CGC/CGC Scanned Delivery 2023-10-05 CGC Received/SFG 2023-10-18 GEI 2023-10-23 G/QC 2023-10-30 SFG

  21. Whatever the issue was, it has been resolved. I'm not longer getting this error. Thanks @CGC Mike.
  22. I'm trying to create a ME order from an ME submission I received back 12 days ago. I'm entering the submission number + line item number, clicking the "Lockup Comic" button, and am getting the message ProIV is down to the left of the "Add Comic" button. The "Add Comic" button stays disabled @CGC Mike is this some type of system error? TIA. My 2 cents, I keep getting slabs back with spots/scuffs or small pieces of debris, and I get tired of posting about the same defects over and over again.
