A Suggestion to CGC on Grading Notes.

[B-Smooth]

 

It's a great thought...and has been requested to death in previous years. We're in the future now and we still don't have graders notes on line nor flying cars.

Or hover-boards. I want a hover-board.

The notes appear to be useless as whats told in the notes is obvious

I never said I wasn't pissed that on an 9-10,000 book the notes they charge me $15 for are completely useless and tell me nothing I couldn't tell about the book just by looking at it. My point was, they were instantaneous

Actually we have both. Flying car: http://www.terrafugia.com//aircraft/image-gallery and graders notes are available online, you just have to pay to access them.

 

The secretary will disavow any knowledge of flying cars that I may have, but the graders notes are still sent via email to the recipient and don't show up instantaneously which leads me to believe that there's still a lot of cutting and pasting going on and not really accessible via an online database.

 

I believe it is all in a database. When I used to call in when it was free, the person on the phone would have the notes in like 2 seconds after giving them the serial number.

 

I agree, but the request that happens on line is not tied to the information. It seems that CGC has to send you a certificate a few minutes after the fact with the little factoid added to the main cert and doesn't look to be linked.

 

Not true at all. I just bought the grader notes for my ASM 1 and here is the screen you see immediately after entering the billing info.

 

I sit corrected.

Here's an example of a recent submission. It is very detailed. I don't think older submissions had much detail, if any. Maybe someone can list an older submission set of notes ?

 

Spine Lite Wear Breaks Color

Spine Stress Lines Breaks Color

Full Right Front Cover Small Multiple Crease Breaks Color

Front Cover Lite Wear

Right Bottom Back Cover Lite Smear

Wow, those grader notes are pretty detailed. The grader notes I have for an AF15 and a batman 608 rrp are bad. Both of my grader notes for those 2 comics were between 4 and 8 words each. I was very dissapointed. I wish my grader notes were like the ones you got.

 

I just wanted to clarify to say that I was way off on my word count. I took out my af15 and batman rrp grader notes to look at them. The af15 has very detailed grader notes, my word count was way off. It's my batman 608 rrp that only has 8 words, not a lot of detail but i'm sure its because of the grade difference. Not a lot to talk about on a high grade book compare to my low grade af15.

CGC should provide the grader notes for free to the customer that submitted the book. Period

It'll (probably) never happen though

You would think they would benefit more by providing them for free.

 

Example:

 

Flipper is on the fence about buying a book. Thinks there might be a possibility for a bump with a resub but isn't worth the $15 or more to find out because maybe he is cheap. Maybe he wants to go after easy low hanging fruit. Maybe the book doesn't provide a lot of room for opportunity. In the end he passes on the book.

 

If the notes are free, he can check to see if his hunch is correct and consequently buys the book and does the old crack/press resub.

 

Boom. CGC gets more money on the resub then they would on the notes purchase.

 

Unless of course they don't want people subbing more books?
