CGC Submission Mistakes & A Few Helpful Tips

[@kirthgersen2485]

You had me at body builder and comic collector-I've been doing both for 35 years.

[@RegieCollects]

LOL. Love it. Salute, Comic Swoldier.

[@easy_nator_gamer8498]

Pro tip: If you have an LCS that submits books regularly to CGC then I recommend just bringing them in and letting your LCS do it, especially if you're new to this. Another perk of Taking your books to the local LCS to submit is they will usually inspect the book(s) and tell you if it's worth submitting or not, thus eliminating some of the mistakes Reggie mentions. They also prep and ship the books for you which makes life so much easier. Also: Some LCS's that submit books to CGC in bulk will give a decent S/H discount regardless if you're submitting one book, many books or if you have books from different tiers or have books that require clean/press services. So no real need to send things separately and complicate your life, just drop them off and pick them up when they're ready.

[@kalebjones5581]

That’s what I do anytime I want one I just go to the comic book store and they will either do it for me and call me when it comes back or they will look up how much it is and try to convince me to just buy one that’s for sale already graded because they say 9/10 times that I’ve asked them that it would be cheaper than paying to send it in

[@stevewoo5606]

Great and thank you. One question, what is an LCS?

Definitely going to get that Premium CGC membership once I get rolling on pressing/cleaning my own books. It looks fairly simple (at least you made it look that way) and saves a ton of money. Thank you for describing your CGC submission process again. I will make sure to remember the multiple invoices, but bundled shipping to defray a bunch of the cost. Thanks Regie.

Boom! I’m always here if you need me. 👊🏾

Great video! I am new to collecting and have already made a few mistakes with CGC myself, for example, not checking interior pages and not double checking the back cover. Looking forward to so much more.

[@RegieCollects]

The good thing is that you won’t make those mistakes again, right. Learn it once and get better. 👊🏾 I prefer to make different mistakes versus the same ones. Lol.

As someone who just sent comics into cgc for the first time, I wish I found this video before… amazing video and content. Def subscribing! Thanks for the great tips and advice.

Thank you bud. The channel is full of practical tips and advice. Let me know if you are looking for something or have questions.

[@jerryp7721]

One thing I discovered is occasionally a book, like last ronin, is considered a magazine by CGC. Sent in a prescreen 25 books including that one. They separately shipped me back 24 and the single Ronin, because they had a different book type. Realize how important it was to look at the entire invoice and make sure some of the books are not separated out. They otherwise were all of the same tier and services.

[@RegieCollects]

Like kind books should be sent on a single invoice. I raise that point in other videos that talk about the submission process. But, you are spot on.

[@oldmankaens]

See Regie catching bricks! Don't be like Regie, don't catch bricks! Much respect for showing mistakes man, everyone wants to show their miracle once in a lifetime finds or deals. Transparency for the win.

[@RegieCollects]

You’re awesome. Do not catch a brick. Especially when you are throwing the bricks. Totally a self imposed errors. I hate making mistakes because I relive them mentally. With that said, I won’t hold myself up as being perfect because that’s not real. We all make mistakes. The goal is to be better. I appreciate you bro.

Regie, do you think CGC would let you do a short video of their intake through mailing back a comic submission? That would be cool. How do they track your orders, organize transfers between pressing and grading etc, and get back to us.

I've been onsite at CGC in the intake, grading, and packing room. I can tell you that it's nothing glorious. LOL. It's literally just rooms with people working.

[@thomaskershaw9914]

great stuff as always Reggie, I really learn a lot from your videos.I was wondering if you had ever done one on how you personally grade a book before CGC submission. Specifically books in lower grade but still valuable and what you think are defects and virtues, Maybe you could do a tutorial on degrees and severity of common flaws such as spine stress, creases, corner blunting, color break, dents, dimples , staple tears etc. etc. I'm somewhat unsure of my grading skills and and I could really benefit from your knowledge before I start submitting my comics ,mostly bronze age, to CGC.

On average how much would you say it costs to get one modern book to get pressed and graded? And on that note how much is it to get a bulk of modern books pressed and graded? Also what's a "COA"?

[@RegieCollects]

I like to use $35 as the price for a modern book. Bulk would be $35 X number of books. CGC's fee schedule is here: www.cgccomics.com/submit/services-fees/cgc/. I'm being cryptic about price because there are discounts involved based upon your membership. The costs to ship are also variable.

When you say that you sent then in to press and clean. Did you do that service with CGC? I done it once with them and in my opinion they did not do a good job

I had an ASM 300 come back restored in early 2018. It actually worked out for the best. The book was at CGC being graded when I had a chance to meet Stan Lee. If the book was in my possession raw it would have been signed by Stan. Because it was at CGC I purchased an additional ASM 300 and had it triple signed. The restored book actually went to a good cause. Sorry that happened to you bro.

Why is this? Has anyone used the "Walkthrough" option? What criteria would make that the correct choice? Thanks Regie and whoever can clear things up for me. :)

[@paulgudnason2282]

Oh, some of the ones slated for Economy are not older than 1975. Should clear that up.

Before you started doing your own cleaning and pressing, did you use the cgc 5$ option to screen the book prior to their cleaning/pressing? I've done this for a couple books since I didn't quite trust my own eye yet to catch all the defects

[@RegieCollects]

No. I never used the prescreen prior to pressing my own books. The prescreen is a newer service that I didn’t leverage until just recently.

[@otakurocklee]

Is there any service that will remove price stickers from comics? I have some 90s comics I want graded. But they have price stickers on the cover... makes me think they're not worth the cost of getting graded ('ve tried removing the stickers myself with bad results). Thanks.

[@RegieCollects]

A professional comic book cleaner may be able to remove the stickers. The question will be if the comics have enough value to warrant that type of investment. Only you as the pricing guide will be able to determine that.

13:00 do you have to use cgc “kits”?

[@RegieCollects]

Heck no, if you search my channel you can find several videos on how to ship. Just search "Regie Collects shipping." Here is one video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipSyioSQgqtrras

Hey Reggie, love the channel. I am a new collector and looking to submit my first CGC submission. I am not entirely sure on how to apply the $150 credit that is a part of the premium membership package after I had purchased that package. Do you know how that works? (I sent an email to CGC themselves but not sure how long that'll take.) Thanks for all your helpful info and vids!

[@RegieCollects]

The credit is applied on the backend. Put another way, before you card is charged (after services are rendered) they check the account for the the credit. Hope this helps. If you’re feeling frisky signup for your account using the link in the description of my video.
