CGC Shaken Comic Syndrome (SCS) Damage

spidermanbeyond

Update: CGC has just finished reviewing a previous book that was sent back with SCS and agreed to reimburse me for the book. CGC is a very reputable company in my book and gets 5 stars.

Now I have to have them review this latest batch. Wait until they get a load of these.

Hi, I recently got a Hulk 181 6.5, for a fair price from a major comic vendor. Upon receiving it, it seems the comic is not just "shaken" in the mildest sense, it's pretty loose, as the slightest love tap on the top or bottom sends it flying all over the case. The top left corner of the back (as pictured) has been damaged by this in the case, as well as creasing one of the overlapping pages when it flew over the the other side. There's barely any room for the length of the comic in the case, as you can see. The good news for me is, the staples seem unaffected so the cover didn't come loose, and it was clearly this way when I bought it so the damage was already done, rather than occurring through shipping.

It seems like it clearly needs to be reholstered, but I do not want to risk losing the current grade. The comic honestly looks better than a 6.5 to me, but is the slight damage enough to knock it down more than half a point? I would rather leave it and keep it static if CGC would be difficult about helping with this, but it's such a high ticket item that I would hope they would at least offer a free reholster as the problem is self-evident. I will be going to Wondercon later this month and can show it to CGC in person; it was graded in 2013 so hopefully a new case would help. What should I do?

Bumping this because of the horrendous box i got back from CGC yesterday. 16 of the 25 books are smashed into the bottom of the inner well, some even look like theyre sealed through the bottom edge of the well. 14 of those 16 books were graded at 9.8. The box didnt have any damaged that showed a hard impact.

Ok got a question so I received this comic back from cgc as you can see the cover has an overhang but my book wasn’t indented like this also would this still be a 9.6 comic.

They are asking me to send it back in to get it checked but don’t know how that works if they replace the book with a 9.6 or if they just downgrade my copy and send it back.
