| I dislike how on this forum when someone quotes someone else you have to scroll for days to find the next comment. Half the time I can’t find the new comment. | ||

| also - for those who cares - the 2 examples of banana books above - both of the owners have confirmed that Matt Nelson reached out to them to resolve the issues - apparently his message to them was that the issue has been largely resolved - so he is keen to resolve both of these to understand where in the process things are still not working. Both owners are positive that Matt reached out to them personally - but also still skeptical how the issue will be resolved | ||

| Some of you may remember my story but I bought one book from MCS and one from ComicLink last year, kind of early on. Both were 9.8s on the label but had the banana. Both auction houses took the book back and gave me a full refund. Maybe that's the answer - put pressure on those guys not to take them from the sellers? | ||

| Clinks current 'tude is to fall back on its "No Returns On Slabs" policy. MCS has same policy but never enforced as far as I know. MCS genuinely cares about their mid to long term gains and CLink says eff tommorrow as long they gets paid today. |

| @1979_03 Clink gave me a full refund but that was early on. It had some significant bends on it with a couple of major spine ticks which could not be seen in their auction pics. | ||

| Clink offers a discount through CGC & CBCS if customer's send them raw books and sign an agreement to have them auctioned. Without this, I'm assuming most of their auctions would be empty. It appears most customers are still choosing to send their books through CGC. I don't think Clink is going to steer anyone towards another grading company, until their ROI plummets. I personally think Clink should have a disclaimer about submissions to CGC, informing potential submitters of the issue of CGC mangling the comics. It would also be nice if Clink was upfront with potential auction customers of FMV data of CGC vs CBCS. Also, I don't think Borock is in any position to tell the owner of Clink how to conduct their business, although I'm sure he has his own opinions about all the damaged books his employer is selling to customers. It must be a tough situation to be in. Here's the clink CGC 20% discount; https://www.comiclink.com/service_text.asp?391 And the CBCS 10% discount: https://www.comiclink.com/service_text.asp?392  |
