Did you zoom in on the books? They are pretty roached to begin with. The $100 may be a good offer though.

For those that haven’t seen the CGC screwup on my social media.
CGC misgraded my 2023 UK facsimile edition as a 1945 original and blew out the census.

14 days…better get on that!
I think they have to “receive” it within 14 days too.

First of all, let’s consider for a moment that this is just someone ranting and it could be a fabrication made up just to bring CBCS down. There are a lot of wackos out there who get their excitement out of such things.
If it is true, Here’s the thing. What is the value of the raw book (cover?) plus cost of signature plus cost of witnessing plus cost of grading/encapsulation?
I’m pretty sure it totals more than $50 a book. May have requested a press (should have as there are lots of bends in the book).
So are they refunding the charge and offering $100? Or is the $100 cover the refund?
So I can’t say whether the $ amount is fair/not fair w/o more details.
What I don’t like is an offer to buy them back in the future. As a reputable business atoning for mistakes and displaying accountability, it should take the approach that they are lost, provide fair compensation (maybe include a voucher for a free grading on top of the value lost) and be done with it. If they locate them, then inform the client they have been found and are being graded/returned in a good faith gesture in hopes they can do business again in the future. But don’t lead them on as if there is hope. cut the cord.
Why is doing the right thing so damn hard?

Forget returning and re-holding, you are one gullible buyer away from a huge payday!

Immortal Hulk #34 is at best a $10 book on a good day, looks like it can be found for cheaper. The autographs add zero value for me when purchasing such an item. I would take that $100 and run to be honest if it was me.

It’s not about worth. It was about what he actually invested in it. Signature might have been $5 or $50. I don’t know.
He got the signatures for free at a book signing he said.
It’s a matter of principle most likely.
If you don’t return it they ban you. Happened to my friend with the Werewolf by Night

Looks like others are getting low offers for their lost books.
Apparently Fed Ex lost a shipment from SDCC.
This is nuts, even if it was a mislabel, very embarrassing for them.
When you created the submission, did you enter the comic as the modern facsimile or the original? Also, what tier did you submit under?

They offered me $1000 in insurance for the 5 books I submitted with CBCS at SDCC for just in case they got lost in shipment from FedEx.
It probably has to do with declared value of the books. I hope yours were not lost.

So CGC completely messes something up and they will ban a person for not sending it back for a reholder?!
In the case of the werewolf by night they banned the guy.
It was submitted as 2023 UK facsimile - the copy that didn’t pass prescreen shows facsimile edition on the CGC bar code sticker. The breakdown seems to be after grading - in the labeling dept.
