Now if only he would imitate CGC's customer service

He now works for mycomicshop, so their customer service is fine and not to be tampered with I hear, or i heard that the most when he went to work there.

I have been one of the bigger critics of CGC removing notes from the label. I feel like this is a really positive step and a great benefit, as long as it's truly free for all. 

Yeah, given the removal of notes from the label, it seems like this was the least they could do.

But still, good on them.

It does happen occasionally…

I have gotten grader’s notes for two 9.8’s over the past couple of years. One for very light tanning FC and another for minimal cover wear 

You're special.

Agreed,  this is exactly what many of us asked for. 

So either this was always the plan or cgc listened to the feedback. 

Either way,  this is a really positive thing and I'm glad they've taken these steps.

This is wonderful news!

Right direction?

I suppose.  It could be easier still

If I have Internet Service available, I can search to find the graders notes (that could easily be put on the front/back of the label.)

But hooray for us!

Thank you!

No doubt. That is the one thing CGC does better.

Any idea what date the QR codes will start being included on labels?

It was my understanding that this is effective immediately.

Bravo! Good job! This is great news!

CGC also adds graders' notes to 9.8's or does it stop at a certain grade? 
Not trying to be rude or anything, just actually curious. 

 

For now, it will be the same as we have been doing it.  Not every book will come with graders notes.

@CGC Mike it seems that if there are no notes you only see this message. 

This is required.This is required.

 

Is this the expected UX? I entered in a few of my older books that I never checked on notes before.

Hm, I am not sure.  I can try to find out.

I’m guessing the next announcement will be some kind of ‘reholder special’ for those that want to update their current slabs with the QR code.
