Hi rick, glad yer still collecting comics! Tbh anyone would have to be a real fucking idiot to open a ss cgc case and expect it to be valid. That walking dead book is utterly VOID. Seller has either chanced his luck selling u a cracked case or it genuinely got damaged in transit which his the sellers fault also. Either way you were completely owed a refund either way. Best wishes man!

@Jacob Vargas - I have no idea if CGC would re-case a signature series comic. When I spoke to CGC on the phone, it didn't sound too good. But in all fairness, for the amount of money I paid for this on ebay, I felt I shouldn't have to go through the process of sending this to CGC. So I went for the ebay refund instead.

I am an authorized CGC retailer account; cracking is a normal occurrence when shipped in bubble mailer or improperly; which should never be done. For some reason; which is should ask CGC, the sides of the casing is often never fully glued or mounted completely. This is why half of your shell is completely exposed. I never ship a book in a soft package to avoid such a situation. The book is still sealed in an inner mylar type shell so technically it is still intact with the CGC grade label if you look closely. If the inner shell is compromised or opened then you have an issue. CGC will recognize book as intact as long as that Yellow shell is sealed. You can resubmit to cgc for 12-15 bucks plus shipping both ways and they will shell the book for you again.

If the comic is still sealed in the inner well case despite separation at points of the outer case the book is still valid. They do not glue the case shut all the way around to make it easier to open for regrading or second signatures. You have nothing to worry about that book so long as the barcode number comes back with the same book and grade. You are worried about nothing.

CGC books are also air sealed with an inner mylar type plastic which CGC could see whether it was broken or not. I think they would still see those things and verify that its theirs. But if your not happy with the book your not happy. I'm glad that EBAY seller is reasonable because many are not.

i would not advise givning the comic back to the seller as the only reason they would want it is if they wanted to sell it again to another person who doesn't check the case as thoroughly. the comic is basically worthless as it is. if you get a second signature and have that verified by cgc you will have a green band on the label since the first signature can not be verified.

I'm not that into the grading companies, and having the products cased in such manner. However as an Ebay seller with a perfect rating, I understand the value of certain collectibles. This item should have had at least 2 layers of bubble wrap and then put into a box of packing peanuts. A Priority mailing envelope? The seller should have done a better packing job than that. Its always a good business practice to take extra precaution to ensure satisfaction for all parties involved as well as reputation and future business dealings. All the damage to that case, EWWWW. Seller made it right but, you definitely did right to return, considering the plan you have for autographs and grading.

I totally hate what you are going through my friend :-( That being said - how can you not blame the seller? I shipped roughly 150 slabs to buyers in the last 10 months (since I started selling them) and I've had zero problems. Packing properly would allow up to several hundred pounds of impact to hit at any angle with no damage. In the future (for shippers reading my comment) - pack two boxes deep. I will do a regular thickness slab (so not a copy of Marvels or Batman:Harley Quinn) in a regional rate A pizza box (wrapped in bubble wrap inside the box) then load that into either a regional rate B pizza box or a medium flat rate pizza box with cushioning via Styrofoam peanuts or stuffed bubble wrap all around. I've shipped slabs to down under, Canada and across the USA. I've packed 3 slabs (even 4 occasionally) in those free boxes with good bubble wrap and since I offer a money back guarantee I am sure I'd know if there was any problem. So, I am very sorry for your experience but the problem lies solely with the shipper based on your description. :( Good luck brother!

elvis dallas Thanks man. People should ship CGC items exactly how you mentioned in your comment. But unfortunately people are lazy or try to earn extra money by taking it out of the shipping price. There have been plenty of times when I paid $20 or $30 shipping for an item in order to make sure it arrives fast and safe. But later I find out the seller only paid $12-$15 to ship and it arrives fast but in a crappy small box. Buying things online is a gamble and so far I've made out on top. But there are still those unlucky breaks that get me. :(

Wait,are you trying to say CGC only authenticate signatures done in front of them? No way, you take a signed comic in and I assume they authenticate the signature like any other credited dealer. Surely someone at CGC would re-confirm if the signature from the broken case was still authentic, or the same one? But still, I wasn't aware you could take a CGC item to a convention and then obtain another signature and have CGC re-case it on the spot, which in this case would delay the process if they needed to get another expert to re-confirm the original signature. Awesome seller you're dealing with, maybe he deserves to be mentioned to get more customers.

That comics got a encapsulation barrier inside that cannot be tamperd with . My friend owns a comics shop. I had him remove my 9.8 cgc just to get jose pablo cantillo to autograph my walking dead 36. I couldn't find a nice copy at time period to get so I didn't care about cgc ss label I just wanted for my personal collection . He put something on it He said he's never put on any comic before and only jose myself and 1 other person knows and he's never gonna sign another 1 like it. He was very cool to hang with . Also Lew Temple signed many items for me around 12 different comics issues 13 14 and 47 all were quote 's from his tv series lines and 1 he never said but wanted to .Travis Love was there too, I only got 1 his autograph 's because I was running low on money I spent over 600 on autograph 's that day . Not including the 2k worth graded comics that were pretty much flawless all but a couple . I gave 1 to jose to give his biggest little fan on last day it was walking dead 36 his death comic. Probably my Best experience for autograph 's . I've met few other walking dead members julio castillo was awesome and kool to talk with he's suppose to be in the spinoff walking dead tv series he told me. Keith Brooks is a funny guy and a experience You won't forget . He signed everything I had practically for 20.00 julio was frree and hopefully we will see him again on walking dead . Keith Brooks is coming to game of throne 's soon he got a offer but not sure details .
