 I like bean sprouts.

| 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? | ||

| No, the first two numbers don't refer to the type of case being used. It's just that seriel numbers that begin with those digits are more likely to have warped inner wells. | ||

| If you get a graded book back and the serial number begins with 44, then yes you should check it for a warped inner well, especially if it is a thin Bronze to New book. I think your invoice number may be the first part of your serial number. |

Quote:Originally Posted by figment 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.  |

| 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. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by IronMan 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.  |

| I hear the new moderators at the cgc are really cracking down with locked threads, increased strikes, and at least one permanent ban of a long time board member. They've also deleted the moderation thread, so you don't know who got kicked for what.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson A friend of mine was cooking pot stickers drunk at 3 am, caused a grease fire, and my other incredibly drunk friend panicked and threw a pot of water on it. There were several eyebrows lost and a huge plume of black smoke stained the kitchen walls and ceiling. I somehow slept through all of this but it's one of the funniest mornings I've ever had. First I saw the stained kitchen and then came across my friends still passed out and ashy. |
