The other book in the shipment has no issues at all with the case. There is, however, a small scuff/bit of debris on the back cover of the first book (casts a shadow on the back cover) - small but noticeable - I guess I send it back..? This would be the 6th book I've sent back for ME in the last month - it's getting kind of ridiculous. Tec-Tac-Toe and ADAMANTIUM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicmeta Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Hmmm...Nice to now look at pics of your books. Unfortunately, it seems according to the pics some of the labels have been switched on one of my magazine submissions that's been shipped. Like this book as an example. There are a few more where the labels have been switched. I will have to return the books and get the correct labels put on.

I'll call CGC as soon as the books arrive and confirm the wrong the labels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Only 35c Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I've just had a second magazine submission shipped and this had all books scanned (maybe I got unlucky on my previous submission). I did note that these scans have a weird misty blotch on the book just below the CGC title, serial number and barcode (see below and @musicmeta 's scans). Here are a couple of highlights from my submission... steveinthecity, Tec-Tac-Toe and ADAMANTIUM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a book come back that was fine in person but the scan looked like it had debris in the slab. Side question: is it normal to have the United Kingdom bit off center in the label…?

Based on the scans of the magazines shipped to me on Friday, July 21 (FedEx was scheduled to deliver them yesterday but is giving me the runaround; reportedly they will deliver them today) the notation of them, as with "United Kingdom", is off-center to the left when looking directly at the front covers.

NewWorldOrder Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 On 7/15/2023 at 5:29 PM, Every Day A Story said: Like everyone here, I think if CGC continues to insist on charging the $5 these images or increase prices post this change, especially as they are scanning them for their own purposes regardless, then it's a really cynical move. Also, who exactly gave CGC permission to scan our books and use them in this manner in the first place? I believe we did when you click buttons on your computer when you submit to CGC for grading. I really dont pay much attention so I am not 100% sure, but in the back of my head I seem remember when you submit to CGC isnt there a legal stance whereby you are agreeing to allow CGC to use in this case scans of your books for their own marketing if you submit to them? I went back and saw my last 8 invoices had these scans available Assuming the copyright on the photos is for insurance claims against them and to deny claims from me the submitter in case of shipping damage. Now they at least have some before scans. IMO this helps both parties determine where the fault lies. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was I believe the case when I paid attention to it for mynss sketch at comic con, part of me thought it was con specific. Which they did post the one I got to social, so it was confirmed there, but again, I'd say you're on the money with that thought though and I think it is correct.

toro Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 On 7/14/2023 at 1:00 PM, LordRahl said: So the images are being copyrighted by CGC, that is the message that pops up when you try to save. I'm sure this isn't a straightforward yes/no answer with arguments to be made but I wonder if CGC can legally copyright something like this. Nothing in the picture belongs to CGC. The book and the case both belong to the submitter. The artwork in the picture belongs to the publisher. So... what exactly is CGC copyrighting? Is this still the case? I just save the pics for mine with no problem and didn't get a copyright message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgcsketcherz Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 On the NGC registry you can automatically upload the photos to registry sets. Perhaps if CGC updates the registry to a new version this might come about too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
