It's too nerve-wracking. Plus, if the grade drops during resubmission to CBCS, it starts to become too much of a financial loss. There shouldn't be anymore, but I haven't checked my Star Wars books. I believe the banana books are s/n 43 and 44 only, is that right? Or are there 42 examples? I used to know, but can't remember. People have posted books with numbers 42 and lower. I haven’t seen as many of them, so I can’t say for certain how often or how likely sub 43s will be warped. I have a banana book that starts 3806. The problem goes back at least 3.5 years, it's not just 42's and 43's. I just had another thought. If someone is submitting books on the old paper invoices, then that invoice number gets incorporated into the graded books serial number. That said, anyone submitting currently with older invoice numbered forms can get a banana slab. Fantastic.

Pam helped me out a good number of times over the years. She got stuff done. When no one else could or would. Her being let go is hard to fathom.

It was a real surprise to me and Pam as well. It was a stupid move on their part. She helped me start the company, worked her ass off, was extremely loyal and cared about the people who worked there and the fans that submitted as well as the company. I don't think, after many other things I that have been through and watched, these big corporations don't give a %@&K about us and our hobby!
Not a fan of any grading company right now, especially since CBCS (IMHO) screwed West!

Penny wise and pound foolish.

This, coming from you, is a very powerful passage.

I suppose common sense doesn't exist over there. That supposes they have any of the old cases left. CGC knew the previous case had security issues, but I bet they didn't roll out the new case until old stock ran out. Just like they appear to be doing with this banana problem.

	so the first 2 digits on a certification number refer to the case being used? Interesting. My only submission to CGC at Baltimore started with number 44. Is that one of the cases that makes banana books? Should I be worried?

	Just tried responding to a post on the CGC boards; apparently they're having new issues with certain types of browsers. Don't know if the inability to fix this quickly is due to layoffs, but it's definitely at their end and a problem never experienced before, so I wouldn't be surprised.
