Quote:Originally Posted by theCapraAegagrus Agreed. I might prefer Coke over Pepsi, but having an emotional reaction to Pepsi? No, thanks. Like I said, If CGC ended up $20 cheaper than CBCS, then guess where I’m going. It’s like DC vs Marvel talk. I grew up Marvel, but I love a lot of DC books and properties. Good comics are good comics regardless of publisher. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Ploppy my issue is that books I bought for under $50 or $100, 20+ years ago are now potentially $1,$2 up to $5k books now. I need to slab to 1)protect and 2) get insurance!! Not to mention some I have 2 or 3 of or just don't care about so want to sell man...I remember when I could count on one or two hands the books I owned worth over $100...now books between $500 and $1500 are common place...it's the books over $2k now that I have very few of - never dreamed about books worth that much back in the day |

| @mediaslave We may be talking around each other... I agree with you.I was just sharing what drove me to CBCS and how I avoided the long waits you described. Had I experienced that, I’m sure my opinion would be different. I get your point, though. |

| @mediaslave I'm sure CGC will right the ship eventually , they have to if they want to keep going. At what point however does management not step in and say "Let's not do nay more private events and catch up?" The bitter taste from this will linger a long while before I reconsider my position. As far as CBCS TAT's go, I landed here right after it was a bad as it got. Daryll got me right in for a fast press and I received my books back in about 2 months . |

| I hammer CGC not because of TATs. I hammer them because <real data>: CBCS: ~100 submissions - 1 questionable grade, 0 label mistakes, 0 misc. mistakes, 0 broken slabs CGC: ~100 submissions - 8 questionable grades, 4 label mistakes, 1 debris mistake, 3 broken slabs. "Opinions are like @ssholes; we all have one. All others bring data" |

| cbcs could absolutely screw up one of my orders and I would be lying like a rug if I said they would never. Everything in my experience so far has been great. I'm not going to complain about a great service. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Ploppy There are collectors who don't bother with third party grading. I was once like them. But being married if anything happens to me and my wife gets tired of my books taking up space. Having certain books already third party graded ready for sale. She has zero knowledge about comics and zero interest so makes perfect sense  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nuffsaid111 Me too! *high five* CBCS: ~4 submissions - 3 questionable grade, 0 label mistakes, 1 ruined book, .5 broken slabs (small crack) CGC: ~4 submissions - 1 questionable grade (too strict actually), 2 label mistakes (fixed free), 0 debris mistake, 3 broken slabs. I feel like the broken slabs are a shipping thing though, and just bad luck. Either way they fix them so thats cool. But some of my CBCS slabs were open on the side, so that was weird. And they ruined a book, and badly messed up grading another. Every company makes mistakes.  |

| @southerncross I hear you on making things easier for the wife and kids. Plus, it just looks more official slabbed. I hope my kids think, “hey this was preserved for a reason and I shouldn’t sell it for a pack of smokes.” Or something like that... |

| Every company does indeed make mistakes. However, it's about probabilities. For me, it was 1% CBCS; 16% CGC over the course of about 1.5 years. Probabilities and likelihoods, based on data, drive my decisions. Not emotions or what happened most recent in memory. |

Quote:Originally Posted by mediaslave FYI if you ever see CGC slabs from the first 15 years with an opening on the side it's perfectly normal. It does NOT indicate that someone tampered with your books. |

Quote:Originally Posted by mediaslave I'm sure that when CGC gets TAT's down to 8 weeks people will casually dismiss the fact that they were once higher. And if CBCS goes to 25 weeks, nobody is going to care that they were once at 8 weeks. I don't see how being concerned with the present is somehow inconsistent with dismissing the past. If it's true that consumers look for Price, Quality and Speed... then in todays volatile market speed is more important than it ever was in the past. I've never actually considered paying for a Fast Pass option before this year. |
