jokiing Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 My Daredevil 168 arrived today.... grader notes mentioned small crease lower right corner (breaks color). Somehow, the top right corner was bent post grade. Is CGC rushing these slabs through too quickly with all the SS events, causing damage and missed quality control. A facebook post showed the same damage to another DD 168 except it was lower right corner. #frustrated.... #nolonger9.6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csaag Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Ouch. Are you reaching out to CGC? Maybe they can press it for you free of charge. Did you have any pics of it raw? theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicdonna Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) It looks like it happened during the slabbing process. That is no 9.6 Edited July 25, 2020 by comicdonna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished looking through my pics and don't see it in the raw. I need to get better at doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is no 9.6 It was a nice copy.... hope they can fix it. The small crease on the bottom corner with the light stress lines might have happened during the signing. It was a strong 9.6..... no more signings for me. Edited August 4, 2020 by jokiing comicdonna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A book with that amount of overhang probably shouldn't have been encapsulated in the first place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdz30606 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I have had a similar experience with a Captain Britain #8 which was graded a 9.0 but had clearly experienced some damage post the grade assessment and during encapsulation and had leaked through quality control. My advice would be to report this to CGC. I discussed with the dude here in the London office - Jamie..great guy very knowledgeable and customer focused - and he told me that the condition of books is captured from start to finish on camera to the extent that he has a camera above his desk. Report it to CGC - say that the condition of the book is no longer consistent with how you submitted it - and further more does not seem to be consistent with the grading given and let them investigate. They will take you through the process. I am still awating for the investigation on my #8 to be completed but I am positive that it will be resolved favourably. Hope that helps.

Randall Dowling Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Overhang like this isn’t a defect. It is, however, a poor candidate for grading due to how easily it will get damaged in the case. I don’t know about anybody else, but this seems to happen way too often for my liking... Keys_Collector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William-James88 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Is there a spine roll going on too? Because thats a lot of overhang from the side for a modern book. Or was it miswrapped? Edited July 28, 2020 by William-James88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No spine roll (staples in spine edge)... no pressing... bad wrap job, even for a copper book... had it since new and it survived a good 39 years... until now.
