It is not my book

Same Series Same Number Different Book

 

 

 

 

I just got in my signature series books the other day. I of course was disappointed in some of the grades dropping but none more so than my Wolverines #10. So much so that I believe this isn't my book. I can't prove it, CGC won't admit to it (nor did I ask them. I remember when I first got the book graded. I was overjoyed that everything was perfect; after all it was a book I picked up off the rack when it first came out.

 

The corners were sharp enough to cut. The staples were clean and centered and the spine was straight. The book came back signed with the corners sharp and the staples clean but the spine is rolled. My book was not like that. I understand a book dropping due to s light mar but this roll is so apparent that I am surprised it got a 9.6, whoever it originally belonged too. I know CGC has a method to keep all the books together but I do know they had to separate one of my books to a magazine invoice since it was the graphic novel.

 

Could the slab have damaged my book, could the book have been mishandled or even switched, hey it does happen in hospitals. And CGC does make mistakes....why do I say that, because they are human. Not to mention one of my books was supposed to be a double signature, it isn't. I called yesterday and left a message about it but have yet to get a return call. It is the holidays so i will just wait till next week. Oh, I was charged for it. This Wolverine #10 though is not mine. I can't prove it but when I look at it, it doesn't match up to the one I believe stayed with me through moving out at 18 and being a father at 20 all the way to my current age of....cough, cough, cou.....

 

I can't say I am angry, just disappointed. It isn't like one can mark their own book before sending it in but I think that any future grades I try to get will be on books that there is no way to mess up like my New Mutants #15.

 

Thanks for Reading

Happy New Year to you as well. Sorry about the book my friend, that stinks. Great attitude to have about it though. What's done is done for sure. Wishing you nothing but the best in 2012!

Any chance of damage when you shipped it to CGC?

The book was slabbed so I believe there was no damage, especially the way the since rolled. I remember reading about slab shake but that is not the case with this. The funny thing is the grade slipping doesn't bother me, it is the belief that is isn't the one I originally bought from my first LCS that bothers me.
