silverweb Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Hello Fellow Boardies, I received an email to renew my CGC Premium membership. I could possibly save $21 off submission fees over the next year. The blurb mentions "Free grader's notes with your comic book submissions". I thought that graders notes are included anyway with new submissions to CGC. Can anyone provide clarification? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveinthecity Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 The membership levels page still shows free graders notes for each. Maybe it’s just a marketing thing to tout a “benefit” that’s already included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning55 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 You can get a FREE Membership. You do not have to have a paid membership. The free one does NOT include grader notes. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest most of the time neither do the paid, as they rarely put much if any notes. greggy and grendelbo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Dositheus Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Attn: Mr. Blackstone If Blackstone is looking to expand revenue, one place would be increase sales of graders notes. One way to increase sales of graders notes would be to insist graders take better notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graders are in on the revenue generating like a Judge who's in on generating revenue for the state which is why they don't dismiss traffic tickets, only reduce them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocSaum Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 My last few submissions, I’ve been getting notes on the 9.8s! Has that happened to anyone before? It scared me at first when I saw it because I thought maybe they weren’t actually 9.8s and there was a bug in the system. I know that a 9.8 isn’t perfect so of course they notice something but I’m basically just saying that maybe the new hires are overdoing it now and taking notes on everything.

DocSaum Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Whoa nevermind, now all grader notes are free.99 with the paid subscriptions, even if not from books you submitted. Woo hoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got back an order of 8 books, and only the two books under 9.0 (one was 8.5, the other 8.0) had grader notes. The 9.0, 9.4, 9.6, and 9.8 books didn't have any accompanying notes. Who's to say what's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
