| He sent at least two books for the free VSP. They both dropped in grade. I guess there really is truth in the saying, "There's no such thing as a free lunch." |

Quote:Originally Posted by HeinzDad Yes. There was another time when I had 3 Jack Kirby signed New Gods. I sent one in and it came back verified. I then sent the other 2 in... they wouldn't verify those. And after the latest rejection, I'm done. It doesn't matter if I know they are authentic. I'm not waisting anymore money. |

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

Quote:Originally Posted by southerncross That is true and unfortunately we've learned that CGC could be run by Satan himself and collectors would continue to submit to them as long as their slabs have a greater ROI than CBCS's. |

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders I submitted books to CGC at Emerald City comic con. I couldn't find cbcs there and it wasn't on the cons website. I did spot a cbcs employee walking out but I couldn't walk that fast to ask him as I still have a tube sticking out through my ribs. So ended up submitting all books across the road. It was wise for example there were only 2 Spidey super stories 16s in 9.8 and 4 in 9.6. low census numbers so I put my two copies in and raised the census of 9.6 from 4 to 6. At Summer Con CBCS are usually there and CGC are never there. I'll get my Swamp Things graded through them as the census numbers are high on high graded copies for CGC and that number is rising from Mark's copies. The census numbers are way lower for CBCS and I've already got my issue 3 graded through CBCS. Also want Steve to press my beloved Red Sorcery 6 into a 9.8. So I'll be dropping that book off too. |

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders I submitted a Russian reprint variant of Tales of Suspense and opted to not have it pressed as it's a new book. Very minor pressable defects, per the grader's notes. Came back a 9.2. I feel I was punished for not buying the service. Pissed me off greatly. Maybe start running this thing like a business instead of a fiefdom for lesser dorks. Just a thought. |

| And why shouldn't your book be graded like everyone else's? Pressable defects are defects and count against the grade. As you said, it was a new book. A press would have been at most $15 without any discounts. Running something like a business means finding legitimate ways of generating revenue. Isn't that what a pressing service is all about? Perhaps you shouldn't be complaining about having your books graded like everyone else's. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson If your policy grading all new books with crisp corners as 9.2s, not 9.6 or even 9.4, to squeeze $15 out of customers, your brand takes the hit when they catch on to your BS. That crap is why you're #2 in the game. I was going to write "perpetually #2," but that may not be accurate for very much longer. Couldn't even capitalize on CGC's recent unforced errors. Real captains of industry! |

| Tale of two books. Neither were pressed. People are already not sending you high value books because they worry about ROI. You'd think you'd be smart enough not to pull some B.F. Skinner junk on customers sending you new stuff. Hopefully, Beckett wises up and flips back over that top rope on a few of you.   |

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders I may change my mind. That's just how I feel right now but that may change in the future with discounts they may offer. Why do you always troll me and why do you ALWAYS have to be such a dick to me? Do me a favor, leave me alone. How many times do I have to ask? I've never talked to you and I don't want to. You keep pushing the limits of the "no trolling" rule and it may catch up to you if you're not careful. |

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC Well, dude. I can scroll through any number of the images on this thread and find modern 9.6s with soft corners from both grading companies. I just uploaded two 9.2s, one had a special cover with scratches on it. If you're on that 3rd marriage,it might be you! |
