How Bad is the "Do Not Encapsulate Due to Overhang" Problem?

[joe_collector]

Not to point out the glaringly obvious solution to your dilemna, but have you called CGC and told them your concerns and asked them how they would handle this?

 

Others have already stated that after asking for their money back, CGC refused. Do you honestly believe they'd give me special treatment? Now who's talking about maniacal?

Its not as common as you think. Out of 1000+ subs I sent in, I only had 2 come back with overhang problems

 

That's because you are the mack daddy nik

 

Yeah, guess who I'm piggy-backing my next submission on.

 

 

I was going to say that that favorable percentage just means that 998 of his subs must have had the overhang trimmed

Who cares, as long as you get rid of the overhang.

No baklava for you

I hear cutting phyllo dough straight with a scalpel without flaking makes for good practice on trimming overhang in an undetectable manner

JC, if only I had a nickel every time you compained about some aspect of CGC or the comic book market by saying "I was just about to send some books in to CGC to be graded, but (insert belly-aching complaint from the following list, you may only choose one per month):

 

a) they just raised the grading fee;

b) the market has crashed;

c) the TAT is too long;

d) SCS;

e) they changed the label;

.

.

.

.

aab) my books suffer from overhang."

Think what you want, but I'm the type of person who, if he has a valid excuse, would rather not rummage through stacks of longboxes looking for potential submissions, and would rather sit down and watch the football game.

 

I am NOT making this stuff up, and it does bother me than the DNE books seem to be increasing, especially as I find some potential DNE's in my own CGC pile.

 

It also bothers me that CGC wants to keep my money for doing nothing (DNE), especially as by the time I get another submission ready, I'll probably have forgotten about it.

Too much man, you just said you've already done the rummaging and have your CGC pile, so just send the dang books in already!!

From my original post:

 

"I was going through some 30 and 35-cent variants last night, trying to figure out which ones might be worthy of CGC grading.. when I noticed that 3 of my primo ASM 35-centers had some cover overhang."
