comxdlr Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 OK so i sent in a Double Cover Twilight Zone #1 from Now Comics. The outer cover is eh.. 9.2.. the inside cover (surprisingly or not) is 9.6+ or so i figured. I get it back.. its 9.8 (but the outer cover doesnt look 9.8....) heres my problem.. No note that its a double cover book in the grader notes.. ... no note on the Label itself that says "hey this is a double cover" .. SOoooooo I guess i have to send it back to CGC? to get "Double Cover" put on the label? and or grader notes? Why would that be something I have to specify for someone to put that in? Im sure they noticed it was a double cover as again.. the outer cover ISNT 9.8 and has a scuff down the side.. onlyweaknesskryptonite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Send it back as a mechanical/label error. The book's grade should be that of the best cover (and interiors/overall condition). In this case it would appear to be the inner cover. The label should say Double Cover and list the grade of each cover. At least last I heard.

It's not indicated in the certification notes? I recently sent some of my books back to have the labels corrected. I really didn't want to go through the waiting period all over again, but it is nice to have the books correctly identified. grendelbo and The Lions Den 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lions Den Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Sounds like they may have missed it. I'd give customer service a call... grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlyweaknesskryptonite Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I have had this issue with CGC a few times. As other have stated mechanical error and send it back. I would definitely take several high quality scans of it before as the last time I had to send 1 back 3 times and each time it acquired new damage from them removing it from the holder. grendelbo and CHASEnBLUE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four was the max number of times I sent the same two books back - not going into that again. And not doing that again.

I may start back this next year , but really want to wait until they get their chit together. Just seems as though they really do care and aren't going to fix it.

Im sure they noticed it was a double cover as again.. the outer cover ISNT 9.8 and has a scuff down the side.. I have to believe there's still a designation from the grading menu for "Double Cover." They really should have put that in the notes, too. With a double cover, the interior cover is usually the nicer one, but the label should read something like this: "1st cover 9.2, interior cover 9.8." Then it would probably make a lot more sense, yes? Lightning55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
