| Wonder how that will affect asm 238, would be great to not have that as a qualified grade if missing tattooz since it doesn't affect anything at all. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by figment Some of it I'm okay with, like not listing missing cover pieces or punch holes. Decent photos of a book should make those obvious. Detachments not involving the cover or coupons filled out, etc., that can't be seen but can be one of those things that some collectors go out of their way not to have in their collection I'm less sure of. It seems a little like coercion to me that if a potential buyer wants to know if these significant defects are present in a book they must have a CGC membership or be S.O.L. |

| Grader's notes from the cgc are not free. They are only "free" if you have paid for a membership that gives one access to them. | ||

| I'm guessing this has been discussed before; but could this not be solved by simply putting the graders notes... all of them.... on the back of the label? No potential of duplication Evident in plain daylight to anyone and everyone No scanning codes; no memberships; no nothing What is the mystery and the clandestine approach to graders notes over the years?. (Yes I know CBCS has them for free to anyone with a CBCS account). I'm simply offering a suggestion where nothing... nothing is needed other than reading comprehension. |

| This was foreshadowed by the implementation of cgc providing "Free" graders notes to those who first PAY for membership, thus it's NOT Free. Now, for all those who want to see those commonly posted defects/missing items you'll have to pay the EXTORTION Membership fee. Another reason to collect CBCS encased comics. | ||

| @CaptainCanuck @Byrdibyrd - the "prominent members of the collecting community" are likely executives at cgc and Blackstone. | ||

| on a side note cgc has taken down the TATS TO 94 Days i can see why they might want to reduce the notes. the label will look cluttered. want to see notes just pull the book up with the serial number and see the complete details. |

Quote:Originally Posted by beastboy1980 A lot of books don't have notes, plus you'd have to pay for a membership to see whatever notes there might be. Which may be their goal. Maybe those "prominent members of the community" are the owners saying find new ways to make money. |

| Isn't reducing the defects listed on labels just another way of saying they're hiding the defects? I know it should appear in Graders Notes but there's a significant # of books with no Graders Notes. Weird. |

EbayMafia private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I guess there is really no guarantee that those significant defects were ever on the label in the first place. Now it's just a guarantee that they won't be. Meaning that now after-market buyers of CGC books will need to do the homework that we should have been doing in the first place. It will be interesting for those of us who don't have access to grader notes. I guess we will have to ask the seller to supply them to us. Which of course assumes that the seller is the original submitter or has a CGC account. What a freaking mess. | ||
