Telegan Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Like you said, this risk is always there and always has been whether it's for sig verification or not. I saw a video several months ago where a blue label slab was sent in and it came back with a green label. Now that's the kind of stuff that is .... weird.

mosconi Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 My biggest fear would be potential "handling damage", if books are de-slabbed and manhandled by a careless or rushed CGC employee and then submitted to the grading department. Anything can happen to the book when it gets pried out of its inner well and prepared for grading, including stress damage to the spine, finger dents to the cover, tiny edge pieces torn from Silver Age books, etc. I've thought of having some of my books sent in for regrading but just the thought of these potential risks has kept me from sending out any of my most prized copies mr_highgrade, Artifiction, RockMyAmadeus and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person who submitted the books above says the corners were minty fresh in the slab when submitted. Not so much any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cman429 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I sent in a slabbed ASM 300 to the last Todd signing. It was a 9.2 going into CGC, came back to me as a 8.0. I’d never crack a 9.8 ever ever ever, that’s just asking for it. jcjames 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I luckily skipped to the correct parts, cgc totally would have been responsible and likely would have done something about it IF they were the ones to crack the blue label, video matches the book assumes someone will press the 9.6 to 9.8, but doesn't mention those personally involved and doesn't say cgc did it. Very unfortunate but a lot of gray area imo, that is based on perspective to the viewer, otherwise tries to explain the pitfalls for me as a viewer, but that tells me to do something like that at CGC to begin with and not discount cgc.

DougC Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 On 6/1/2024 at 4:51 PM, Sigur Ros said: Or any reholder, really. Saw this on IG Reholdering is fine as they do not regrade the book unless something happens (which you will be notified about). The grade drop and lack of transparency on how sketches affect the grade (outside of the nebulous statement offered) has me very hesitant to submit any green label for authentication. Best internal practices would include automation in tracking a book entered as a 9.8 then leaving as a 9.2 being flagged for review. But we all know CGC does not do this in any way and blames all mishandling of books in CGC possession on the customer. No graders notes on this is also a substandard practice, I am going to have to see a lot of these books in the wild prior to sending in anything and trusting the current process.

Who's going to break the news to him about Santa Quality Control? You know what's pathetic? They've never addressed the obvious instances of only 1 grader looking at the book. Not once.
