Or are you refering to how "nobody's the boss of [her]", implying she is either self employed or on welfare.

I know Danielle, not personally per se, but I've met her and her boyfriend/husband/significant other. They're not on welfare. They're self employed in the comic business. Her b/h/so deals in some very nice books. Adam aka Filter81 on the cgc boards. Very nice guy. He's quiet and reserved. She's boisterous and outgoing.

I'll take your word for it. I don't look too closely at that on other people's hubbies. Gets me in trouble.

@DrWatson

I think it's great 1. that there is a woman who is in our hobby, that's quite rare overall. 2. that she is trying improve her knowledge of the grading process. Good for her. I have been in this hobby for over 30 years now, and I am always learning.

I’m glad you like her so much. I don’t really care for her she’s part of the slimy sellers that’s part of black flag scandal.

The internet turned self-promotion into a full blown industry. It was cute when there were just a few. Now it’s like the trouble with tribbles episode of Star Trek.

Nice..

Interesting they had to state "the grade assigned will take into consideration the grade of the acetate cover as well as the interior of the book. ". Does this mean they have not been doing this to date, or are they implying those magical 9.9 and 10.0 are the grade given to the entire book (holes included) as that is the way they were graded..

Not sure it could be read any other way. This also explains the high number of 9.9 and 10s.

They're backpeddling because they got caught. Wonder how long this would have taken if not for the sales floor fiasco.

Good to hear! I still say it shouldn't have had to happen this way because CGC should have known from the beginning that it wasn't okay, but at least they finally acknowledge the screw-up.

Apparently, they 'splained away the staple-holes by claiming it was part of the 'manufacturing process.' I call that code for 'we pump hot air at you in hopes you'll not notice the pungent stink of BS.'

I wonder what happened to make them do this. Every communication prior to this was some version of, "We did nothing wrong, nothing to see here, go about your business."

I feel like there had to have been outside pressure from somewhere; auction houses? Marvel? Entities with lots of submissions? It just seems like a huge walk back after doubling down more than once.

Wonder how many auto renew memberships were turned off? While not necessarily saying they won't continue to use CGC it would certainly be noticed if a higher # happened since this issue broke than a similar normal period.

I bet Marvel jumped in on the conversation...with CGC.

Too bad, we will never know the truth.

I bet submissions went way down and said crap we need to fix this damage of our conspiracy with Crain and black flag. We got caught this time on to the next.

I don't doubt for 1 second that marvel has been in direct communication with cgc on this matter.. " after discussions this week" leaves open external parties also being involved

Ya know Kat....you make a great point on membership renewals.

I know for a fact, if I were a CGC member and this happened, I would move ALL my expected services to CBCS. CGC has shown me their cards...."Grading outside, but not inside"????...wait? What?

*sighs*

'Bout time failure exposed itself openly.

Maybe now "they" will step up to their job a bit better.

Now only if those darn Newton ringsv would go away...lol....

there is a thread over there on QC issues.. In last couple of days someone showed their slab with 9.8 I believe but they knew it had a big internal defect as the presser tore the inside pages and sent photo but owner decided to go through with grading anyway.

Easy to speed up TAT by not looking at internals

All I can say is.....wow.....

My "trust" in CGC has now been given to CBCS on all things grading.

Thanks for the post.
