justafan Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I am willing to bet those sustained the type of damage that happens when a comic or stack of comics, even in a mylar with a fullback, falls from a 3.5 - 4 foot counter or desk onto a hard floor. Source: experience. The corner bend and blunting is nearly identical to every comic ive ever dropped from that height and lands on a corner either obliquely or directly. Is it possible they had too many comics piled up and not enough space when grading/transferring/storing them? Why they wouldnt simply gather them up, mark them as damaged in house, call the customer and ask if they would approve a free full press, and move on is probably a mix of cost mitigation and employee omission. But if it continues it may begin to impact their submissions which it sounds like wouldnt be the worst thing for them temporarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because an employee would have to admit they potentially damaged thousands of dollars of property. For the sake of their job, it's probably better for them if they just play dumb.

Gaard Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 You'd think (and I would too) that every stage of the grading/encapsulation process has cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of like a publisher misprint or color fail at the printer (Blue Galactus in Secret Wars) This also isn't a new thing for CGC. I've had this book in my PC for almost 20 years. The only thing that stinks about it to me is that I couldn't put it in the registry, unless I found a #2 that was mismarked as a #3 JJ-4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you look at the serial numbers, it seems that the first one, not pictured is correct. So, CGC is hitting .250 in the quality phase. That's decent for baseball. toro, BigLeagueCHEW and HotKey 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the same corner sounds like a drop at some point. This seems like what happened ESPECIALLY when large number of books are sent via mail...had this happen several times when ordered from ebay...alomost the exact crunch to 7-10 books...
