Kaikou Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) I submitted 15 comics to CGC for grading and 6 came back with issues. Five of the comics have Newton Rings right in the center of the front cover. Is this something covered for reholdering? How many Newton rings are too many? The rest of the books have none or very minimal, so it seems to be possible not to have them. The biggest issue I have is my Zelda 1 came back with the case separating at the top right corner. It snaps back in kind of, but will separate with the smallest of movements. I'm not very impressed with this first order, but perhaps in an order of 15 this can happen. Would this be covered under mechanical error and will I have to pay shipping to CGC and back to me? Edited December 28, 2022 by Kaikou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaikou Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 I emailed submissions@cgccomics.com as I had seen @CGC Mike recommend that to others. Hopefully they can get back to me in a timely fashion, otherwise guess they might be shipped back next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cor88b Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Yes if the newton rings are bad enough they would qualify as a free adjustment and they fix them. Ive heard some have luck sliding in some plastic to separate it but never have tried. The zelda they would do a free techincal repair as well.

Generally speaking, we require images for newton rings before sending them in to us. If we deem them "bad enough", we will approve sending them in.

Danpsy Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 @Kaikou Hey did you ever get a resolution on this? I also just received an ebay order where it looks similar to your that the post corner is separating? To the rest of the group, would you consider this broken or needing a reholding / re-encapsulation? What would you do if you were me? Let it go, get a refund? The seller did offer a 25 dollar refund for the reholder process but I would still be out shipping. For those curious, this is a Web of Spiderman #1, 9.8. PIcs below...

dbcn Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 For anyone looking, I had a glaring Newton Ring on a recent SS book, emailed submissions@ and was told that Newton Rings are an 'acceptable defect' (but I can pay CGC to reholder the book, of course) - which to me is bananas - apparently the highest tier grading service can send something obviously sub-par back to the customer... It's disappointing - especially if the Rings are blatantly obvious - but it seems the current policy is: 'too bad' (that'll be extra for a reholder though!)
