Sent my hulk 181 9.0 for press in and it came back an 8.0 due to CGC damaging it. 😰

What block did you pull that out of?

As if you let him touch it with your hand with his hands no gloves on that’s crazy. You’re gonna see that fingerprint on that card after.

What a card man that is so crazy as if you got that

At least for me, this video did the opposite of what it was intended to do. I'll be cancelling my membership and never submitting a book to CGC ever again. Absolutely crazy video. You used a lot of words, but all I heard was "We give the grades we want and there is nothing you can do about it." 70 9.9s? 7 10.0s? Hahahahhahahahahahhaha

Interesting that even CGC’s own videos show slabs with mechanical errors. I’m sending mine back for the same scuffing inside the slabs.

Question! Does putting a vintage comic in a current bag and board storage have any affect? For years I’ve been putting almost every issue I own in current bags and boards because I thought keeping the comics nice and tight limits the movement and prevents sliding around, and I have a good amount of comics from 90s and older in the current boards.

Arrived at a 3.5 yet doesn’t show where those numbers came from except from out of thin air.

Would y'all start using a signature verification? I have 4 I had signed back in 1994.

That’s awsome 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

Ridiculous.

And now I see why people don’t care about grades anymore. Y’all don’t actually know how to do it.

Is this the company that has graded slabs opened easily? Do they address that in this video? Probably not with this cheap funk music playing.

i just submitted 2 mags and 5 comics to get pressed and graded. after seeing the comments i am nervous... i don't care about the wait time only that they work on them in a professional manner and not speed them through.

I have a question, why has my comic been in pressing for 2 and a half weeks? It doesnt take that long to press a comic. I just dont understand why the grading and pressing process has to take so long.

After that video with that girl I will never use cgc ever again you guys just made me sick

Treasury size comics next please!

a silly video from a silly company

Please make your pressing services actually this good. Everytime I’ve submitted similar issues, they have never seen these sort of results. Charge more if you have to but make sure it’s done properly.

If you are collecting only for your PC and a 9.8 is still a 9.8 in your eyes, now is a good time to send in books so you can have all your slabs in a 9.8.

Excellent video. Thank you.

Even with a video explaining the 9.9 and 10 process, people are still pissed...pissed off comic collectors who've never kissed more than 1 girl as they whine over comics is pretty typical, they'll never be happy with anything

Big business is coming for your collections. We smiled for 20 years letting it happen. Jokes on us 🫡🫠.

What the hell LOL this has to be a joke?

This video is CLEARLY bait for collectors to re-submit their 9.8s to try to achieve that 9.9. DON'T FALL FOR IT.

"For the event I will be attending"? Nope. Not what I came here for. When will we be able to submit for shows we are "not" able to attend? No, a facilitator does not count, do better.

I’ll just buy a 9.9 and then switch the case - happy days

the CGC Show Witnessed Signing isn't available for me. i have done all of the steps and it is not working. How do i choose that so i can be prepared for WonderCon next weekend?

Will the George Perez collection be graduated to Pedigree, given the fact that the lable is marked as part of his collection?

Also, such a random book to do this too I feel like. Like are that many people going to want this graded?

I don’t understand how it can be a 10.0 if it’s never been opened..? I’ve gotten so many comics with pages in wrong order, typos, messed up staples, etc. That’s all on the inside.

I don’t think they realise how much this video tips the market into an even worse state lol , it’s a real betrayal of the 9.8 loyalist who’ve spent thousands putting collections together with that specific grade which they’ve been groomed on by CGC, this is actually foul af

9.8 used to be a comic free of defects. 10.0 was a pristine comic free of imperfections. Based on this, 9.8 is free of creases, and 10.0 is somewhat arbitrary, but available to your high volume customers.

I saw white on that corner of the 10😂 No need to force a 10 just to show us on video.

I saw all new ghost rider 1 with 9.8 grade back cover of book have scratch bottom noticeable there is grade notes on any 9.8 books I look up., I will never use cgc 1 cgc does not go joe & tf con get book signed get book signed by Larry Hama , frank welker cgc don’t go there need send your signed books pgx, cbcs, egs get signature authenticated 2 I was victim of cgc reholding scam before Covid made appearance cgc wanted me pay for book be rehold 3 all graded books should be value same price if books are grade by cgc, pgx, cbcs, egs no grading company is perfect

🤣😂CGC Roast🍿🍿Popcorn 🍿 🍿 Im here 4 it comment 💬 💬 section

Thanks for sharing this. It’s a good start of showing transparency in your grading process

This is a great overview of how the spines and corners are looked at. I’ve had what I believed to be a 9.8 come back as a 9.6. Sure, I was mad but now I have a little clarity as to why.

Sorry but CGC don't have transparency for collectors and they are trying to move toward 9.9 and 10. they should have Notes available for all grade, even charge a premium why some books get down graded. they have already hard time with 9.8 and now them starting to head toward 9.9 they don't have any proper heading.

Gee I wonder as you supposedly have two people grading a certain book?? Not biased on grading books I see eh…

I take this video at face value. As it is stated in this video this is a pre-screen for 9.8 grade books mailed straight from the Printer. Not a regular submission. Not an average collector or seller submission. Not a third party submission but a direct Printer to Grading Company submission. So this process or parts of the process shown makes sense for dozens or hundreds of copies of the same book. This gentleman did a pre-screen to determine if any of these copies merit a 9.8 or better. Then these books are sent to go through full processing. Those books that did not pass (9.6 and lower) will then be returned to whoever paid for the pre-screen. He appears to be a very experienced grader but I would be interested in knowing if any of his 9.8 or better books were downgraded during the rest of the processing. I was not expecting a "How to Start Your Own Grading Company" video which would not be in CGC's best interest. Thank you CGC for releasing this. I would like to see more smaller regular submissions from the average person be featured in future videos.

Nice video! I appreciate the transparency 👍

Hi and thanks for posting this video. In the spirit of always working to improve a process, here are a few observations based on the video and comments so far: 1. One thing you have to do ASAP is train your graders to never straighten a stack of books by picking the stack up and setting the bottoms of the books on a table, as it was done here in the video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9akdZCgrNzRcWQ.htmlsi=gDqCfqWzIZl3XHR3&t=358, some of the books will fall a couple of inches and that's all it takes to damage a spine or edge. 2. Another handling mistake is to pick a book up by the top and bottom, as was done here in the video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9akdZCgrNzRcWQ.htmlsi=dd4CUMcxMHJ6YFnP&t=549, If you freeze the video you can visibly see the spine bending and possibly turning a 10.0 into a 9.8, or lower. 3. I also wouldn't pick up a stack of books all at once, this is inviting disaster if they start to slide. While slower, I recommend only handling one book at the time for grading. This book might not be a big risk since this specific book has a relatively rough surface, but some books are quite slippery. I hope this helps and thanks again!

I can see CGC messing over the faithful 9.8 collectors by getting looser in 9.9 for cash grabs

Do not start undermine 20 years of grading to now start handing out more 9.9 and 10.0s.

Umm. So you handle the 10.0 3x longer than a 9.8? Do you not think you may damage one of the 10s by flipping it around the way you are?

The way you’re handling the books is crazy. Also none of those books looked liked 9.8’s let alone 9.9’s or 10’s.

CGC is just one long ongoing scam.

There absolutely no way there are 70 9.9s in that batch. Now have someone else do those exact same books and I guarantee you there will be a huge difference. Even some of the books you chose as 9.9s had white corners that would, by your own words drop it out of the 9.9 category.
