Korvac Saga Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Just received in the mail today. Thanks constellationventures ! Great book but lousy packing job! Definitely try to recoup reholdering + shipping fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slym2none Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 See? We had to send a slab across the continent four times PLUS a trip across the Atlantic Ocean to get a damaged slab with NO packaging, and it still looks better than that!!! No excuse... -slym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistty1 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I asked him to send me 18 dollars to get reslabbed... the $11 plus shipping. I usually pay about 25 CDN but I thought I'd lower it a bit for him. But he wants me to send it to USPS for investigation first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The $11 re-slab fee and the $30 or so dollars for return shipping. CGC no longer ships books in different tiers back together so you won't be able to submit other books, unless they are re-slabs, and take advantage of return shipping.

The Silver-Age Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Just received in the mail today. Thanks constellationventures ! Was it packaged well? In a box or in envelope betrween cardboard at least? If not, I would definately be asking for $55 back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistty1 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Thank you guys for your concern and consideration in this matter. The seller shipped in a USPS box but the one that fits the slab exactly with no bubble wrap on the ends. When I first opened the box and saw no bubble wrap on the end I thought " I cant believe it wasn't damaged" and then the corner fell out onto my lap. I dont mind asking for the actual price I'll pay, which would be the $11 plus S+H, as he tried to ship securely but just didn't try hard enough I guess. He just used a small box that fit the slab end to end with no excess to spare for padding..... Anyway, its a really nice book and I just dont want anything to happen to it while being shipped back and forth. I think its a waste of time and energy to have USPS investigate for what should be a simple solution. Edited June 26, 2009 by Twistty1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant-Man Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Heard great things about this two part series but haven't ever read it. Finally won a bid on ebay for it. Is it as good as people say? Been a while since I read that one, but you can't go wrong with the sky-rider of the spaceways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessebrook1 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 My scanner isnt the best for CGC books, upon further investigating this book i find that my grading standards compared to CGC's are very strict. I found things on this book and a few other that are already graded that i would not allow on 9.6. This is no shot at CGC btw i think they are a great company.

jessebrook1 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Well as you can see (once again my scanner sucks) the back as chipping all across the side and the red coloring is scratched all over and the other pic shows a large chunk from the lower left side.

LloydJBailey Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Yeah I see what you mean! I guess you're lucky, I guess those markings realistically (IMO) would have bought it down to a 9.2 at least, but it's great that it's a 9.6, bet you're real happy with that!
