The response on IG is bashing CGC and feeling sorry for Dylan.  Isn't it ironic that he might have received a more favorable response here if not for his existing reputation from the last issue he had?

You would think that CGC would take pictures upon immediately opening boxes with comics valued over 5K (or so) to ensure that the books arrived safely and there is no question on issues like this.

Even if they took pictures I am sure any aggrieved party would insist the pics had been taken after the books had been damaged.

So... this is interesting.

Here's Dylan's Before image.  Note the circle I added.

Now, here's one of my copies CGC Graded.  Note the same circle I added.

Everything looks good.  Now look at the last copy, the one Dylan claims is the after.

There's black ink in the window, that somewhat looks like a circle.  Doesn't appear in his original picture, nor does it appear in my slabbed copy.  Given that it's black ink, the color discrepancy between the original picture and the slab picture wouldn't explain it.

I've already spoken to them about the need to maybe tweak the process on walkthroughs if a book comes in with detached staples.  The sooner the customer is notified about this the better is my opinion but I don't work for the company.  Waiting until the book is graded gives the customer way too many reasons to question where did the staples get popped?  If they knew right at the start you eliminate all the other steps along the grading process.  It also eliminates the "conspiracy theory" that CGC changed the notes at the end of the process to cover their mistake.

Going just by his own before/after -- and attempting to ignore the drastic change in picture quality -- it looks like the presser mangled this book. Look at that giant crease at the bottom of the "after" picture.

He has now removed and disabled all comments on his post. I think I’ve seen this move before. 

I generally find Instagram annoying.  I'm guessing that is what you are referring to?

Again,  if this is true this is not how you win support in your cause.
