I was just hoping the 1989 #1 didn't downgrade, was so worried it'd be a 9.6, didn't even expect the newer lenticular cover to be upgraded. Was a nice surprise. Thats amazing. I usually get my 9.8s downgraded to 9.6. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyB Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Not sure if cgc had columbus day off or not. But if they did day 17 of my fast tracked press and regrade should be tomorrow. Fast Track pressing is 7 days and Fast Track grading is 10 days, so 10/4 check in should be last friday or tomorrow if holiday was had. So hopefully the pressing will handle the 1 grader note i got and return my book to its 9.8 status, like what i sent in Grader Notes small bend left top of back cover Edit- Will let everyone know Edited October 30, 2023 by ShaggyB fatlab123 and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually wait for a solid custom label opp though before I do so. On a side note; cgc does actually know which ones have ben cracked and subbed as on the card that goes on the backing board it shows the cert that is being resubbed. They technically could easily track the frequency of grade drops I would think. I have 5 9.8a out right now for signings and will update once I get them back.

ShaggyB Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Update my press and regrade is now in pressing. Status: CCS in Process They must be behind as its now been the entire 17 days fast turn timeframe and its not graded yet.

fatlab123 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Thanks to all who answered my questions ..here is the book back ..sent in a 9.6 came back a 9.4 . Book was pressed , looks like a 9.8. There are no grader notes which I was upset about. I looked it over one more time before calling CGC , on the back top middle is a stain. I’m not sure if it was there before ..I didn’t take a back pic. I’m just not sure why it was a 9.6 before. I’m still happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DravinClaw Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I would still chew their ear off about the lack of graders notes cause they keep using it as a sales tactic especially with a grade drop. Gator Guru 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyB Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Im honestly starting to agree with others here.... 9.8 should list all the reasons its not a 9.9. That way the grader gets in the practice of grading and inputing notes regardless of the grade. The only pass goes to perfect 10 grading. Either add the notes as advertised or give out more 10s Edited November 2, 2023 by ShaggyB DravinClaw and WDBill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either add the notes as advertised or give out more 10s I think the concensus is anything below a 9.8 should gets notes to justify why it isnt near-mint-mint. A 9.8 is obvious but a 9.6 and even 9.4 is not obvious unless of course you are a professional grader. Thus why they should put the notes in. No notes makes you wonder if they either made a mistake, they are only human, or its population control… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post waynemel Posted November 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2023 Received my Skottie Young slabs back (bit late posting). I really enjoy his covers. 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. fatlab123, TK2, ADAMANTIUM and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
