Bird Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I wonder if they are aware of the apparent "one grader is very much lower than the rest" chatter @CGC Mike I know it is speculation but can you pass on concerns about a very harsh grader? There was another post with two concurrent sets of 25 with one much harsher than the other as well (and more too but that one I recall specifically) my books are about to pop! I don't want to get the hanging judge on my KANG! onlyweaknesskryptonite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHASEnBLUE Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) I may be jumping the gun, but after seeing the last few posts, it is a good time to bring this up. For this order just shipped, you will notice unusually low grades. I have sent in hundreds of books in 2020 and 2021 which I pre-screen myself. 80 to 90% are as I expected for 9.8, the rest of the percentage is normally a 9.6 which I also expected could happen but the books sent would be fine for me to still sell at that grade. A few times, I obviously missed something and managed to get a few 9.4's. However, something is not right with this batch. I'm wondering if I will see corner damage or something for the 9.0's, 9.2's, to even a few of the 9.4's (which would not be due to a lack of how I pack comics). For these comics I would not send in anything that I thought would be less than 9.4 at the least. Worst yet, no notes on the lower grades. I tried to call before they shipped but it was too late. I will update this once they get to me, most likely next Thursday/Friday.

ChrispyC66 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Here are a few rejects that were disappointing. Probably resubmit in the future as separate order.

Popular Post troydivision1 Posted March 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) This was first slab I ever purchased; way back in 2010. (they say you never forget your first) It was advertised as a cracked slab for $11 plus shipping. Purchased due to my Tell 'Em Steve Dave fandom. Finally got around to getting it reslabbed.

Popular Post rexinnih Posted March 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2022 Bunch of Silver Age comics back. Some lower grade second level keys but two below stood out. Captain Marvel 1 - Pre-pegged this as 7.0 and came back Daredevil 18 - almost wasn't going to send it in but saw there was some movement on it at the time. Pre-pegged it as 8ish but came back 9.4 ADAMANTIUM, STORMSHADOW_80, CHASEnBLUE and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
