When you receive a different CGC book than was pictured

[Darkowl]

Are we in the eye of the hurricane or has this blowed over?

 

[cousin itt]

I think that was just the eye....

[Heavy3PO]

Well that went in an unexpected direction. Heres those pictures I promised earlier, forgive me if theyre the wrong size, its my first time doing this

 

 

 

 

So in this instance, no, all 9.8 moderns aren't the same.

[kav]

Looks like it was dropped on corner,dislodging microcell....

[Darkowl]

That corner crack isn't normal, at least, every one of my slabs do not have it. That paper/debris/whatever it is isn't normal either. I would get your money back If possible.

I'm fairly certain no one has said all 9.8 moderns are the same.

 

In fact, I'm pretty sure several people said there are exceptions that are then noted, and that it was *most* moderns that were "the same."

 

 

I could be wrong.

Could you also provide original picks from the auction? This was an eBay deal, right?

"Modern 9.8's all look the same. That's what branget is saying. Books from copper and earlier can look different so it's best to use individual scans. Branget is correct though, no difference between modern 9.8's so a stock photo for a walking dead 115 9.8 is good if you have 5 9.8 slabs of it." -youmechoose, page 6

That's awesome, kav!

The white paper sticking out of the top is the microchamber.

 

That piece of white fluff on the front of the book could be anything. Unfortunately, that happens. (My grail, a cap #3, got a thick white hair that almost looks like a bit-off fingernail right across cap's face while in CGC's care. Since it is a yellow label, the only way to remove it would be to send it back to them.)

 

The top two corners are cracked, and it looks from the photo like the upper label has been messed with. Probably means nothing, but if you were given the choice of a return, I'd take it without hesitation.

CGC: maybe give your books a once-over before sending them out. At least the grails...this would bug me more I looked at it, like a bad tattoo.

I stand by what I said. The plastic case might not look the same, in this case cracked, but that book probably does. Ask beachbum how many of his customers, who are subscribers, ask for scans of the 15+ saga #15 9.8's he has so they can choose the one that looks more 9.8 than the other 9.8.

Somebody said the word 'posse' in this thread.

[youmechooz]

They look the same to me

So, if this were your comic, would you sell it without disclosing those cracks?

 

If you had bought that comic without the seller disclosing those cracks, would you be okay with it?

I think you just threw a grenade in a crowded theater....

Never said that. If the slab is cracked, I don't sell it. Difference between selling a duplicate of a 9.8 slab and selling a damaged slab.
