Declared value - over $400 ASM 300 0

[MAR1979]

Based on the books I sent in 2021 under Modern service level and received back (during Oct, Nov and Dec) all was "normal". There were quite a few of mine that as 9.8's were over $400 but all those were under 400 if 9.6 or lower.  Not once did I receive an up-charge.  Any book that if graded lower than 9.8W is under $400, should never be up-charged if it grades a 9.8W. Assuming a 9.8W is unrealistic, something I believe CGC has always recognized

BTW to charge for a level of service not delivered is tantamount to fraud.  CGC is/was smarter than that, is Blackstone?

I agree to all if this hence why this whole situation confuses me.

What’s the downside to just declaring the max amount on any tier? Is there one? That’s what I can’t figure out.

Your return shipping cost might be more than necessary

I would never give a raw book a 9.8 grade

If everyone took that stance, there would be no 9.8s in existence, since every graded 9.8 out there started out as a raw book at some point.
