Tafkap Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I just received a batch of 25 books I sent off back in March. About half of them seem to have a similar defect: Crunched up on the top rear left corner. For the life of me, I think I would've noticed this before I sent them off? Maybe, I'm mistaken but I don't think so. Have you ever had comics come back with a similar defect that you were, almost certain, they didn't have before? Thanks for any input.

Tafkap Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Update: Just communicated with the Comic Shop Owner and showed him the pictures and there is 100% new damage on the majority of the books I got back today from CGC. He pressed them and then we sent them off. They all have the same damage: Rear left corner; as if a box was dropped. I am sooooooo upset and don't know what to do? I waited almost 4 months to get these books! These were books that should've been 9.6 and 9.8 and they've come back horribly like 8.5's. What do I do?

I'm at a loss, but at least you have an essence of what happened. If they all have the crimp like the box was dropped, then postal insurance and or then press and regrade, but that would take a lot of dough. 3 minutes ago, BlowUpTheMoon said: Pictures?

Heronext Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Always take scans or good pictures of your books before sending them off. Came in handy for me once in a similar situation. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I argued for a generous (on their part) monetary settlement, and got what I asked for. I think it was all paid out as credit.

kav Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Something seems to be happening at CGC. Another boardie shared with me pics of his submission of 4 books, 3 came back with similar damage. jcjames and djzombi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't trust your best comics to CGC then what's the point? Waiting 4 months or longer for damaged comics? Now worth a fraction of what they should be.

I've heard multiples of these stories and it must be costing CGC money to replace books so I dont get why its still happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toro Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 That happened to one of my orders once and asked them if the box was damaged and they said there wasn't any notes about a box being damaged. I also had sent that order off bomb proof. So basically it tells me they dropped it when they took it out of the box. They also lost in that order my Green River certificate for one of the books. I was not a happy camper. The Lions Den, BlowUpTheMoon and silverseeker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
