Grader notes on a 9.8 comic. 0

[56]

I recently received a 9.8 grade on a comic with a grader note ' large stacking bend full right of back cover'. I am new to CGC and don't understand why you would do this. I want to sell this book and now wonder how this will affect the price? The other books that were graded (6 total) did not receive grader notes. This book Amazing Fantasy 15 1st Amadeus Cho has sold for over 1,500 dollars on EBAY at 9.8 no grader notes. How will this affect the price? Why put grader notes on a 9.8 and not the other books I submitted. Are grader notes optional. I would appreciate any feed back on this matter. Would it do any good to contact CGC about this.

It may have been Gem Mint without the defect. Grader notes are only optional for the CGC employees. I don't think that graders are taking commands from customers as to whether or not they want notes.

To me it seems odd the book would get 9.8 in the first place....is it noticeable? Pictures would be neat to see. 

As for the grading note, at least you got one. Most people never know why their books aren't higher because on 9.6 and higher they never say why it landed where it did....

I don't think it will have a huge impact on the price.  Most people at 9.8 don't even check notes.  Unless it easily seen from the naked eye that it has a defect, I wouldn't worry about it.

Some people might even see it as a chance to press and get a higher grade.

9.8's aren't perfect.

Either an incorrect grade or incorrect note, unless stacking bends are overlooked. 

Any note with the words "large" and "bend" seem like grade should be affected. 

Does the label look like it belongs with that book? 

Post pictures of label and damage.

Think it's lucky you actually got grader notes on a 9.8. I've never gotten them.

I get them from time to time. Just got one with notes stating light foxing.
