tortoise Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Well I got the 4.5 I traded for in hand today. No where near as nice as my 4.5 was before cgc screwed it up, and bumped it, but still a nice copy. Did you sell the 55? I traded the 5.0 for this one. I just couldn't look at that chip anymore, and I didn't really want to sell it and start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of several books that have had "issues" in recent months including my FF1. Just my opinion of course but I'm personally taking a break on the subbing as well.

I don't really have any slabs anymore. Cracked 70 or so a few weeks ago. I'm pretty down on CGC lately, but that's a completely different story.

Can't say as I blame you judging by that chip that resulted in a grade bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, in addition to my Hulk 1, and a few other books I know of. I would be livid! I was, but I replaced my Hulk 1 with a nice (not as nice) copy, and CGC will never again get a dime from me. So, I guess I'm over it. I'll be cracking out the rest of my slabs this weekend after I buy more Mylars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one of 3 (that I know of) members whoes books got destroyed in Sarasota recently. That's enough for me to go full on raw. The only books I'm keeping slabbed are my Copper 9.8s.

MagnetoWasRight Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 marvel runs got a tales of suspense 10 back that failed prescreen and it came back with a big chip too That's 4... somethings up in Sarasota. Seriously? Someone is handling these books WAY too roughly...one person is a terrible thing, two is coincidence but now we are talking a trend. I'm not here bashing CGC, I love graded books as much everyone else here, but I know of numerous books that have been jacked up recently. Be it the rush of getting books graded or the training of new graders, something is up and it's not cool at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingKingKirby Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I've had a few books go out attached and come back detached. I gotta say, it's not a good feeling. It's like my own personal CGC hall of shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like my own personal CGC hall of shame. I can join twice over and on two keys no less, FF1 and a TOS39. I think my days of cracking slabs for SS are over on books worth more than 500.00 bucks. The risk is a bit too much for a collector of my caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
