StevoR Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I would like to sell an early Marvel (1964) comic that I had graded in 2013. The CGC grade is 7.0 ow-w pages; Universal Blue Label. The certificate number when searched, shows that the grader notes are "Unavailable". This hasn't bothered me in the past, however, now that I intend to sell it, I am not sure how it will be received. Wondering how this may affect the selling price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not knowing the specific book, FMV or potential asking price, generally I’d say some buyers are looking to see if there’s pressable defects to CPR. Also if there’s hidden defects that might be present should the comic otherwise present higher than the label grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoR Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 It’s never been cleaned or pressed. It doesn’t have internal/hidden issues. I’m the original owner and apparently am the only one who can now attest to this. May be the only book that I can truly say I didn’t get what I paid for. Perhaps CGC would rectify with a no charge resubmitting? Is “grader’s notes not available” a common or uncommon occurrence in a 7.0 grade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially baffling in books that seem to be under graded based on cover alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Grader notes shouldn't affect a sale, but it's a bit 'ridiculous' that a 7.0 would be devoid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Would membership lapsing at any stage make the grader notes unavailable? Or are the notes attached to the book & not the membership? (Excuse my ignorance here!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly wouldn't say you get notes 100% of the time, but no way is it common for a 7.0 to not get any notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paullam15 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Recently, got back my first CGC submission (Modern) and I had a couple of 9.4 and 9.6 and none of them had any grades. What is the protocal of when they would enter grader notes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
