Another Round (Three More Grades Posted)

Post by betterthanezra »

This year I've submitted more than I have ever in one year I just dropped four more to CGC at San Fransisco Con this past weekend

I submitted

Amazing Spider-Man #129 a Super High Grade copy I bought just last Thursday

Avenging Spider-Man #9 Hot book right now for obvious reasons

Another Eternal Warrior #4 (because why not, I still have the other one I submitted and haven't heard anything on)

Batman #357 1st Jason Todd and Killer Croc

Still waiting to find out about these half were being pressed also and that's why it's taking longer than I want

1. Eternal Warrior #4 (being pressed)

2. NYX #3 (being pressed)

3. Action Comics #894 1st death DCU Variant

4. Heroes for Hire #1

5. Legion of Superheroes featuring Supergirl #23 Adam Hughes Variant (being pressed)

6. Batman Harley Quinn #1 Alex Ross Cover first Print

My first batch of books are now missing

CGC and CSS don't have any idea where the invoice or the books are at this point.

I went through a CGC rep at a show in Sac who was taking subs and SS because Chris Clarmont was at the show and they went through his invoices and mine isn't there so i'm not sure what to think or go about doing right now

I'm just *SQUEE* I want to know what's the next step.

If the books never reached CCS/CGC your beef is with the Rep in SF, right. What do they have to say?

Yes that’s true I’ve talked and texted him he hasn’t dodged my messages and said that the guy who handled the invoices at cgc did hold a few back because of questions on the paperwork so I sent him a copy of my invoice and hope to see what’s happened sometime next week the individual who held the invoices back is on vacation this coming week he said. So the books might be at ccs and cgc just hope that’s the case

This sounds like Pioneer Comics (Scott? From San Fran?)! Had them arse-hats in Rose City Portland last year. Damaged the shyt out of many of my books!

Just looked at the reject 9.8 candidates that CGC returned to me in the last big batch. Multiple color breaking spine creases on each one. Each one. I only send perfect books, so....

Yeah i'm not EVER going to use this dude again for anything CGC related so far this experience is enough for me.

I'm not hopeful on high grades at this point and I submitted some nice books I only send in High Grade copies so this will be interesting
