@kaptainmyke Yeah, your right its 10+ years old but its history that many probably don't know about, and I thought it best for everyone to get up to speed on past events in case people like @MR_SigS said may have never read it before.

Just for the fun of it, I texted them via facebook. Here is the response I just got, their "official" statement.

The official statement addresses "a" leaving of one employee, and that PGX is still in business and planning to hire another person and grow their business.

Which is nothing new to the previous youtube link.

No one from "that side" has addressed multiple firings, or any shenanigans in grading and authentication. And isn't that what PGX customers would be concerned about? They won't care someone got replaced. But, if the work is being done competently and professionally.

Yes - but it illustrates that the ethical behavior remains questionable

He’s not saying anything other than what’s released in Chris’s video. Guess we’ll never know.
A) who is grading now?
B) will there be consistency?
C) are they qualified?
D) was Aaron’s firing justified or not?
E) status of current orders? TAT delays?

I could go on. Anyway, here’s the response I got

It doesn't matter what the PGX people tell you. Do not send your books to PGX. You may as well light your money on fire. At least you'll get to watch it burn and feel the heat off of it.

CGC. PGX looks to be a 4.0 to 4.5

Neither of these look their assigned grades. The PGX book looks like a piece is missing in the red box above Magneto's head, 5.0-5.5. The CGC book presents more like an 8.0.

There is going to be a live show tonight on YouTube talking about PGX. I believe the host is trying to get Aaron on to talk as well.

When I contacted Aaron he made it seem like he need to speak with a lawyer before making any more public statements. I'm not sure this is going to pan out.

I'll say it again... I like CBCS' consistency with grading. A 9.8 looks like a 9.8 and, while I might not always be thrilled with all of the grades, it's not because I plan on arguing with them. Generous grades don't do anyone any favors, honestly, they just mean we STILL have to really scrutinize and ask for better pictures every time. I mean, when you're getting into mid-grades and lower-grades, you want something that presents better anyway, but still... We want to be able to trust the grades.
