migmtl76 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I am submitting a bunch of older comics to CGC. Thus far I have only submitted Modern. So I have a few questions What if I submit a comic under Value when it turns out to be Economy ? Will CGC ship the tiers back to me separately (so basically this doubles the shipping costs) ? If so, I assume I will get one before the other ? Also I wanted to submit Giant Size X-men 1 (1974) and X-men 94 (1975). I have no clue of the value so not sure if it's Economy or Standard. Should I just send them Economy ? I read on the forum that the value you declare is only for Insurance purposes. Do some people declare less to pay less for slabbing thus accept to take a risk if anything happens to their comics ? Thanks for your help !

csaag Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) What if I submit a comic under Value when it turns out to be Economy ? CGC *could* charge you the additional amount. From what I've read on the boards that isn't a common occurrence though I have read posts of it happening. IMO, I wouldn't worry about that and I would say to pick a FMV you're comfortable with if something happens to the book. Will CGC ship the tiers back to me separately (so basically this doubles the shipping costs) ? Yes, if you submit books in multiple tiers, they'll become separate orders . What I don't personally know is if you submit in 1 tier, and CGC end ups charging you for a higher tier for some of them. I would imagine CGC wouldn't be doing that until after they are graded, otherwise how would they know what the value is (unless they do some type of internal pre-screen for that sort of thing). Best to call them if that's something you're worried about. (or email at submissions@cgccomics.com ) Also I wanted to submit Giant Size X-men 1 (1974) and X-men 94 (1975). Depending upon the ultimate grade, they could be quite valuable I'd say to put some pics/scans in the 'Spare a Grade' forum and then you'll hopefully have a better idea what they are worth. FMV determines tier level, CGC insurance reimbursement and postal insurance back to you. Myself, I have both declared appropriately fair value and have 'taken chances'. It's all up to your personal level of risk Edited May 20, 2020 by csaag add info migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
