| So,I’m somebody that goes against the grain so to speak, I don’t follow the popular opinion and make my own judgments on everything. With that being said I purchased aultimate fallout 4. Cbcs grade 9.0 I cracked it open send it To pgx it came back a 9.0 cracked it open again and sent it to CGC came back a 9.4 sense it was not pressed with Cbcs I did not have it pressed with the other two. What does this prove? Not a damn thing grading mis very subjective and human error always exist. I will tell you turnaround time PGX 4 weeks. CGC 16 weeks Pricing about the same. Pgx cases are shit though but their customer service 100% great. As someone who is never sold a book out of my PC I’d have no problem using PGX again cause of the Turnaround time I don’t care which company gets the highest resell value. Like I said I don’t follow the popular opinion so I’m sure this topic we get a lot of hate and I’m ok with that I make my own opinions on my Experience   |

| @Mikeoliver1313 I deleted the PGX pictures. Only CBCS and CGC slabs are allowed to be posted. The grades were as stated. |

| Everything in the world is subjective. It is always a matter of one persons opinion. I am like you, I make my own flow and dont care about resale value. I collect for me. I have things entombed for me, not for sale. I like the way slabs look and its a great way to preserve a great story. | ||

As a person who doesn’t often go with popular opinion myself, as long as you’re doing what makes you happy while collecting, more power to you!!! That said, you are right grading is subjective among the grading companies. Whenever I send books in I always hope I’ll catch a grader on a good day and all my books come back 9.8!!!  COLLECT WHAT YOU WANT TO COLLECT, HOW YOU WANT TO COLLECT IT!!! |

| I think that's pretty interesting as the market leader, cgc is the outlier.... Personally I do care about resale value, and had a book sent to CGC for press and grading. I hope it gets the same grader you got.... |

| . Thanks for sharing this @Mikeoliver1313 Also, looks like in this instance. CGC definitely has the higher resale value  |

| Since not pressed I wonder if CGC missed the light indent it would have had from being in the poly bag? Easy to overlook but should have been looked at since it is a well know issue with this book. |

| @jesse_0 you deleted the pictures wow. Must not believe in transparency huh? I’m absolutely speechless. What in the world does does the other two grading companies have to fear from PGX? It’s the same book and all three pictures just in a different slab what’s the big deal! | ||

| It might be interesting to see what the grader notes say for each. | ||

| PGX has a long history of questionable business practices. They aren’t allowed for a reason. (It will be removed). CBCS is well known for being a little more strict with their grading. No surprises here. |

| @Mikeoliver1313 PGX pictures are not allowed. It's not about transparency. You're new so they might give you a break. You should take down your PGX picture before the mods see it. I'm not sure if you're aware of PGX history....if not, look it up. |

| Since the three grading companies do not follow Overstreet's grading guide or another uniform method of grading, there will be differences. I too care about resale value, not saying I'm selling my grails, but it is nice to know you paid X for a book and based on the grade it is worth Y. Best of luck to all who submit their books in hopes you receive an accurate grade...nuff said | ||

| @Mikeoliver1313 I feel that the forums are like a person's home. Your welcome as long as you abide by their rules. If you don't agree, you walk away. If you are set in your ways, open your own forums. |

Would you still take your car to a mechanic who intentionally doesn't do repairs, inflates costs, etc because the masses decided not to use him? |

Quote:Originally Posted by CaptainCanuck I see. As far as the tied grade? A broken clock is right twice a day. I’d need to see dozens and dozens of examples of this exact situation to sway me, personally. Aside from the grading, PGX’s long history of poor business practices don’t disappear. Along with frequently missing restoration. |

| @Mikeoliver1313 PGX has a long history of questionable practices including but not limited to: self grading missing restoration, cut coupons, missing pages, trimmed comics 'witnessing' un-witnessed signatures general over grading all of these are prolonged issues over well...decades now! not to say all PGX books are graded incorrectly but enough (higher value books) have consistently been show to have these issues since PGX started in 2002 This particular book might be ok....but do you want to take the chance on books pre 1980 where colour touch, trimming, cut coupons etc. are common?? |
