JD112868 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Hi Comic Book Family, If you're not happy with the grading of a comic book, can you resubmit for a possible better grade ? Or can you talk to a CGC manager to state your case. I recently got a comic back and I was disappointed by the grade. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyTown Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Unfortunately you can't argue the grade. The idea is that it's impartial, so what someone wants isn't considered. If you want to resubmit there are ways to try and help the grade up before you do, but it costs money and time and your comic book would have to have certain problems that the procedure could successfully address. I'm curious of your situation...your expectations and then the results. Can you share the story and post pics from before and after?

Yes you can resubmit for a possible better grade. You could also resubmit for a possible lower grade. Pick your poison. Did you try having the book pressed? Perhaps the defects are can be pressed out. What did the grader notes say? That all being said, asking for the manager has some real Karen vibes unless it's a grading issue that is wildly inaccurate to the point that it was a mistake by QC. Otherwise if you're quibbling over a 9.4 vs a 9.6 vs a 9.8, you're splitting hairs. djzombi, Chaz G. and Midcall 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTheDuck Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Another option is to post your book in the "Spare a Grade" forum. The people who participate there tend to get the grades pretty close to what you can expect from CGC.

thunsicker Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 The other thing you can do is look at the grading notes to see why they gave it the grade they did. You might have missed a flaw that they caught. djzombi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avi Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Maybe you can ask the grader if there is some extra credit you can do to improve your grade. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowGradeBronze Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I'm still curious to know what the OP was expecting as a grade and why. Such stories and accompanying pics are what this chat board is all about, but he/she didnt respond. I feel cheated out of a juicy tale here!

OP may have been unfamiliar with the third-party grading concept in general. They had an expectation that didn't materialize and they were wondering if there might be recourse. Boring, I know 🥳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
