PGX Slabbed...How would you sell?10467
 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

Archie & Me # 77 PGX 9.2 Daredevil # 189 PGX 9.9 Felix the Cat # 107 PGX 9.2 Return to Wonderland # 1 PGX 9.6 The Daredevil book cost about twice as much as the average of the other three but all four should be fairly easy to flip. I think I would be very careful about spending more than $100 on a PGX slabbed book. |

| It would have to b a real real good deal to consider a pgx book. Hate the labels the slabs are strong and sturdy. I take it back I prob won’t buy a pgx slab | ||

| I was burned with a trimmed Journey into Mystery 89 in a PGX Universal slab. I purchased the JIM before all the controversy started. This was back around 2003/2004. I was willing to give a new company a chance. I had it for a year or so and another collector questioned the right edge. I cracked it out of slab and sent to to a paper conservator for an independent check. It came backed "trimmed." I checked my Paypal records and sure enough... I bought it from a seller named Terrance Leder. The PGX slogan should be, "You feeling lucky?" |

I bought a pgx about a year ago from a comic book store. It was a punisher 1987 issue 2 graded 9.2 for $10 as a curio for myself just to have one. I probably paid too much  |

| @Zipper trimming was in fact the issue with the great CGC conspiracy. | ||

The guy was exposed, banished from the hobby and CGC posted a list of suspect books and made buyers whole. I draw a distinction between a company that makes a mistake and then does the right thing vs one that has a ongoing pattern of suspect activity with no transparency. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Zipper I was again not clear. I meant that's what people on the CGC board were either calling it or insinuating with their torches and pitchforks overreactions. Maybe I should've used quotation mark? some day I will figure out this whole posting thing but I doubt it. |

Quote:Originally Posted by southerncross This brings up a good point. Low dollar stuff in less-than-mint grade is probably pretty safe. It's not going to be restored and they hopefully aren't going to waste their ammunition turning an $8 book into a $12 book. I would assume they used their ammo to hunt bigger prey and in fact probably used the lower dollar books to help build credibility. I lost confidence years ago when I facilitated an introduction to a potential high-volume submitter. He showed me some of the grades he got on his first submission...lets just say I was laughing and he was glowing. A JIM 89 that he hoped for 7.5 came back 9.0. Anyway, I thought if they will do this just to curry favor with someone paying them $20 per slabbing, what would they possibly do when bigger dollars are at stake? I guess the Terrance Leder story helps answer that question. |

| @EbaySeller thanks for your 1st hand story, I like facts. I will not be using PGX, but I will still buy them at a good deal. I always look at the comic book not the grade (learned that here). | ||
