Rezin1234 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 So I submitted my first batch of comics awhile back and the listing now shows as graded, yet everything still says NA. Is there a reason why they wait until the item has been shipped to show the grades the books got? theeone29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means they've QC'ed the grade, slab etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this led to some problems and they now changed it to Shipped/Safe. Rezin1234 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible for the grade to change, even after leaving the grading room. Happened to me a couple times years ago. Also,not sure if this is true with the new slab design, but certain books were turned away in the encapsulation room if there was any chance of damage.

That's really interesting. Thanks for the background. Really insightful. Kind of antsy to see how my books did. Oh well I'll just have to wait a few more days Bomber-Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizzafist Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I agree, I recently had two books sit in limbo a very long time after being "graded". Which was unusual. When they shipped one of the books was much lower than I expected and the issue printing was not what I was sure I sent in. This could all be avoided if grades were told to us when they are done. I love CGC and have sent them over 1000 books over the last decade and it is very rare for me to have any unsettling feelings towards them or their staff. So I'll just hope for the best, But a policy change might be in order. Mr Pizzafist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Pizzafist The fact that the issue printing was different than what you thought is on the website before the book is even graded. That's on you. Part of the logic behind not posting grades until the book is shipped is CGC wants you to have the book in hand and see the notes provided before calling and challenging the grade. I think this policy makes sense and I don't think a change will be forthcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
