fatlab123 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 (edited) Just an update about the grader notes. Grader notes are not a guarantee.The nice customer representative said it’s a hit or miss 9.0 or above.😞 Edited November 3, 2023 by fatlab123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Received - 08/08 10/04 - signing 10/11 - SFG 10/19 - GEI 10/25 - shipped 10/28 - delivered Obviously happy with the 9.8 but surprised at how much they took off for other to be a 9.0, "light fingerprint on cover". Really have to look hard at it but do see it, ugh. Still a great cover. Those black cover’s don’t hide anything unfortunately. Very hard to get them in high grade due to this and im sure CGC graders zero in on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyB Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 My signature series Superman #75 9.6 Breeding/Jurgens - press and regrade has finished pressing and is now at the grader. 10/4 check in at ccs for 7 day fast track. 11/9 finished 7 day fast track pressing 11/9 checked in to cgc grader for 10 day fast track Lets hope that press fixes the 1 grader note and returns it back to its previous 9.8 state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyB Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 My Signed Superman #75 press and regrade is in GEI today... so hopefully soon. And hopefully 9.8 getting put back on it AbsoluteCarnage and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyB Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Booooo 9.6 remains on my superman #75. Pressing did not fix the issue, though the called out note has now changed. Must have a new cgc number as the old one is not updated with new notes and still contains old note.

Miketaylorwork Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Boooooo! I have a signed Nova #1 that has like two non color braking spine ticks they couldn't get out so it came back a 9.6. CSS really isn't very good in my experience, it's like the quickest press that you can imagine. I would always recommend biting the bullet and using them for every signing, but if you have preexisting ticks, spine stress, light bends, don't expect them to fix them. I've pressed out ticks and spine stress issues like this hundreds of times, but you have to A. Take your Time and B. Focus on the actual Issues, I think CSS is just a generic press that they do super quick, its more about turn around times than quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As what they left last time would be fixed by press... but if they saw this too last time i wouldnt have sent back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua912003 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Was super excited to get this in the mail. I wasn’t able to submit for the Ariel Diaz signing, so I thought this from BTC instead. Thought it came out really good. I wasn’t expecting the custom label, but I’ll take it. ADAMANTIUM, ShaggyB and AbsoluteCarnage 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyB Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Got it back, new cgc number for some reason. Old one still pulls up the pre-pressing too. It would appear the spine stress was cause by the pressing. Here is the new back shot... look above the top staple and beside the '!'. now here is the back before i sent to get the bend fixed, note no stress above the staple or beside the '!'.

waynemel Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Noticed this comment on the Ask CGC forum which I was not aware of, from the 13th-21st we had an office move as we transferred into a new facility that could better fit our needs and future growth. This may affect the total turnaround time as well. Mine has been in GEI for some time and with the comment above and add the holiday, may explain lack of progress.

dbcn Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I've had a couple books ship in the last couple days, which is progress - but I do feel like my book statuses are all over the place - I just received books I submitted at NYCC, but quite a few I submitted over the summer are still either in CCS or waiting to get to CCS - doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why some are moving through quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
