Quote:Originally Posted by dielinfinite just want to point something out here....even if CBCS wanted to do character labels because as is so gently pointed out there is a market for such a product. I can with 100% certainty say that CGC is paying for that right and with almost 100% certainty in return there would be a clause in the contract saying those characters could not be used by other grading companies (exclusive right to use the likeness etc. etc.) -or right of 1st refusal or right to pay more to ensure that the competition can't use them...or some such wording or clause. We don't know what goes on behind closed doors...it is quite possible that CBCS has approached Marvel/DC to use their character on labels but have been blocked from doing so......kind of like all the Marvel characters that Disney can't use. Having been blocked the only option is to take the high ground and say we prefer to not use them rather than we are legally prevented by CGC or Marvel etc. from using them..thereby ensuring they would never get the opportunity in the future when contracts are renewed etc. just sayin...it pays to maybe think about things once in a while...although spouting off is so much more fun!! |

| entities like CBCS are run by people with values and opinions and by proxy entities have values and opinions. Good business sense means they should listen to the market but are absolutely under no obligation to follow, agree or conform to the market. | ||

| "When is CGC not gonna have oil spill plastics?" Guess seeing a book through a rainbow is better than a detailed label without Spiderman webbing me and half the book's details on the back. | ||

| I have no doubt CGC is paying a pretty penny for those because the practices on those are terrible, even by CGC standards. I was at a book signing today with a CGC rep so I had to hear them explain the pricing several times. So in addition to paying extra for the label, they also donāt let you mix labels on the same invoice. So if you wanted to get a Spider-Man label on one book and a Wolverine label on another, that means you need two invoices, which means two invoice fees, which means two shipping fees |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.
