Mike,

Does the grade date of 8/23 indicate when the comic book was graded, when the error was corrected, or both? My assumption is that it was graded prior to 8/23, e.g., 8/21, is that, I'll write in the negative, incorrect.

Thank you.

I believe it is the date the error was corrected.

I think its safe to say any information on any label could be incorrect. That includes date, title, issue number, variant, ect..... and last but not least....... the grade given. Someone meant to enter 5.0 on that SA key but accidentally put 7.0

Which is why the have such thorough QC to catch such errors......................

If that seriously is a true story......I would have instantly told them to **** off.

Seriously.....the ego being displayed because they think they can't be knocked off of their high horse. 

 

I'd ask for ME on the 15th day, then wait for a reply

I was at FanExpo Canada on the weekend in Toronto. I was sitting outside at the end of the day and just by chance, CGC was was taking out the comic and card submission from the convention.  I turned on my camera and almost caught a box falling off their cart at the 33 second mark LOL. Close call

Shipped a cracked slab in for a re-slab. Came back with some type of black plastic inside, surprisingly no scuffs on the back back of the case like the ones I had to send back a week ago as well.
Back it goes. Frustrating part is this was just one slab so the cost of submission & shipping isn't spread across a multiple book order.

Has anyone been able to get the cost of shipping to CGC refunded?

It looks like a Klyntar. Perhaps that is the problem CGC is having.

Whenever I sent in a ME, they've always refunded me the shipping. They just had me scan the receipt and send it to them. Of course, this was before the new owners. This isn't an automatic refund these days?

My last ME, they sent a prepaid label. 
 

edit: this was earlier in the month

These are minor issues, but it took 9 months to get this slabbed. When it finally arrived back in May, the case was shattered. I returned it, and it's been gone 3 months (so, 12 months total).

Now there are two minor scuffs on the back (inside the shell) and a small bit of debris possibly touching the comic. So, after a full year with CGC, would you bother sending it back?

Regardless, this will be the last book I get graded. It just isn't worth the hassle.

This is what CGC is hoping for.

This is either what they didn't count on, or did but don't care.

They sent me a prepaid label.

That was earlier this year.

Of course, they didn't fully fix the issue though.

Perhaps it is referring to Catwoman.

Not that any other board member should care, and very likely do not, but I'm undecided whether to renew my CGC membership that expired on September 5, 2023, due primarily to the continuous QC issues although I have been on a run of good fortune with QC. Thankfully, this decision is quite easier than almost any other one for me; a tough one is what to have for lunch at home or otherwise.

I can say with 100% certainty that you would not be the first.  It's pretty obvious that the current owners do not care about QC, or that the lack of it is driving customers away. I think that, at this point, we can only hope that the current owners sell the company to people who do care. And soon.
