CGC puts blue label on "new" modified excl18147
 I've spent years perfecting my brand of assholery.

| They should have subbed to CBCS under the ART label. Any experienced slab collector knows you can't add anything via staples to a book once it leaves the publishers and expect a blue label from the cgc. So, the rules apply to me and you, but not to Black Flag and Clayton Crain? That's the real problem. | ||

| @HotKeyComics it kinda seems like he already is. He canceled on c2e2 and he already canceled on Boston fan expo too. I don't blame him at all for this, he just did the art - he didn't make all of the bs that followed. Also, I didn't watch the video that was posted until now...and I only made it a few minutes in before I started to gag. The whole cgc thing, sure that's bad. I don't agree with it. The high grades? Eh I dunno, they probably went right from being made to grading basically, which should always be higher than anything that endures handling. Should they be qualified? Yes. But that compared to this douchebag? Doesn't even compare at all. Not only is he fine with what he did, he's totally behind it 100% and proud of it. He must say 5 times in the first 2 minutes how dope black flag is. Dude, you're not dope. I had an issue with it before, but now...I will never buy anything from black flag. |

| @Zombie_Head I suspect it's just the kneejerk reaction to someone casting aspersions upon the sacred CGC. I question whether those who are defending CGC really understand the issue and how far CGC has fallen into the F*A*I*L (For All Intentional Lameness). |

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics Everyone here may laugh at me but I would use PGX over CGC right now. CGC has lower standers on grading and gimmick stuff like invisible comic grading and now this. Newton rings won’t get fixed. They have shady business practices and I’m not down with that. I won’t use CGC no matter what. If they will do stuff like that I question if the books people send in are really getting signed by the people they say they are. Talking about sending in books for signings. It puts a shadow of doubt on them for everything they do now. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Zombie_Head Your point has merit. I will still use them for signings because I suspect that is a line they won't cross. What I would not trust them with now is if they started offering verification services. And as far as using them for grading that I can get done somewhere else, absolutely not. PS: I'm not laughing. |

| @Sigur_Ros per your comments on the CGC board...it's about precedent. Doesn't really matter what the new content is, or how you or I feel about it. If Marvel set the precedent of saying "we're ok with this", it opens the floodgates to them losing control of their brand. It makes it difficult to stop future activities by other parties. There's just no way they can set that precedent in my opinion. | ||

| The way SS are done these day when books are sent off to be done in private session you could have room full of people signing books and putting yellow labels on and provided the sig looks passable noone would know any better.. The magic of meeting someone you respect having a chat and the memory of watching them sign has been perverted by this ss private signing garbage |
