| I know that these boards do not have a section for "Hall of Shame" but I thought I would put something together and nominate MG Comics in Montreal Canada if anyone ever did a search on them. MG Comics in Montreal was formally named Comicage. www.mgcomics.ca/ www.facebook.com/mgcomics.ca www.ebay.com/str/comicage I know that they are most likely not a member to the boards but I think is would be good if anyone does a search. Reason this thread and there shameful business practice. https://forum.cbcscomics.com/topic/15193/page/1/i-just-dont-see-how-this-could-be-a-96/ For reference as ebay listing does not last forever.. Original listing that was later taken down because it had the wrong issue number.  Then to be re-listed..   Pictures of the 9.6 book..        |

| I'm not sure I understand the issue. Can you explain more clearly? Looking at your other post, I see that the issue appears to be that you (and others) do not feel that the book is graded properly. I agree that it does not appear to be a 9.6. |

| Ok, I'll be that guy... how is this a terrible business practice? Obviously this doesn't look anywhere near 9.6 territory (as we've all agreed in the link provided), but does that make the seller ass? I have sold a 9.6 before that I didn't feel warranted the grade, but I showed the multiple color-breaking spine ticks so the buyer was aware what they were getting. Maybe that makes me a Wonder Twin with MG Comics? I think we all agree the grade is wrong, but what should the seller do? Say it is graded wrong and buy as if it's raw plus (incorrect) grading costs? Not stirring $#!t, just asking. | ||

| I think your issue should be with CGC. Like how did this book get a 9.6 grade. Unless you think this seller put a mid grade book in a 9.6 slab, the issue is with CGC. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Mysticsnake Agreed, but I didn't read shame on CGC anywhere. At the end of the day, maybe MG Comics popped that case open and popped a lower grade in there. I don't know, only they do. Or maybe they got a book from CGC over-graded like multiple others have and they listed it for sale. Again, I don't know... I'm just here for the comics. |

He didn’t mention if he thought the seller popped the case open and swapped books, so I’m not sure what the issue is. Just looks like a book that wasn’t graded well. Just goes to show you that CBCS grades tougher than CGC. |

| No, I am not going to assume the seller popped the case and did anything like that. My issues is with a book that is clearly not a 9.6. Yes, I agree there is fault with CGC probably a label mix-up as was discussed in the other thread but to actually list the book for sale in that condition seems shameful.. I would post the link the CGC post but I am not sure I am allowed to on these boards, and do not want to break any rules. |

| I decline to shame MG comics in Montreal - although being Montreal there is probably something illegal going on...but then again they made it to the finals this year..so....they get a pass??? This problem is CGC's and any potential buyer. There is the old legal term - buyer beware. I sold my uncles house last year with no terms or conditions...they had the chance to walk through a few times before dropping the $$$....little did they know it was built on top of an old native burial site and my uncle was a circus clown who murdered children when he wasn't killing kids at the summer camp or working as a janitor at a local school (with appropriate black and red striped shirt), won't even mention all the kids that disappear in late October...anything that happens is 100% their own fault!! |

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics I am pretty sure that's how their graders notes work. They pressed my books and the notes all suggest a press will fix it. CBCS is pretty explicit in their notes and you can tell if theirs can improve on a press. |

| Being from Montreal I’ve dealt with Comicage(MG comics) or George on many occasions. Never had any problems Many people feel he overprices, that’s his right, but he’s very open to negotiations. As for the crappy grading from CGC, that’s not his fault. I’d be more upset with CGC and the fact that more and more of these grades are coming out. |

Quote:Originally Posted by SamPool Well it is possible that the seller isn't the person who originally paid CGC for grading. If that's the case then I don't guess CGC would regrade for free or give a credit. Maybe they would but I'd be surprised. This is a bad situation. The seller appears to have an excellent eBay record (lots of positive feedback). I'm betting he knows that the book isn't a 9.6 but needs to sell it to make the money back that was spent to buy it. I sure won't be buying it. |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

Quote:Originally Posted by DWeeB1967 I've only done business with CGC once and it was for a mislabeled slab that I purchased online. They didn't care if I was the original owner and paid to fix it as a "mechanical error" free of charge. To my surprise they even paid next day air both ways even though I would've been happy with priority mail instead. If they're willing to pay for a reholder and next day air shipping both ways, I don't see why they would have problem regrading. Especially since this is now an active topic on two forums and facebook.  I can't find the photo of the reslab. |

| Here's a theory, consigner gets two of the same issues graded, one is a 9.6 and the other a 7.5. The labels are accidentally switched around by mistake during encapsulation. Consigner receives the books and notices straight away a problem. Stays quiet and cracks the high grade out of the 7.5 and submits to get a 9.6. Nice little score to keep the genuine and sell the mislabeled 9.6 for a profit. Just a hypothesis you understand. And no way am I saying the seller is involved. They may have bought it second hand from the consigner or it changed hands a couple of times. |
