I am still surprised that people would ever contemplate sending books to them, given their lack of transparency on even the most basic of elements. Some people use them because TAT is fast and they are cheap. Being new to the whole grading world, I took a look at CGC, their pricing, TAT, etc. And I immediately went looking for a competitor and found PGX. Cheaper, quicker TAT...if not for doing my due diligence and investigating a little deeper, I probably would have shipped my books to them none the wiser. Researching them is how I wound up here. I think it is fine if for your personal collection but the day you wish to sell you are gonna take a hammer. Best case they will fetch the price as raw

I considered them given their prices and turn around when I was first researching where to submit comics for grading. because I'm proficient with eBay, I did some research and noticed their slabs did not fetch the return on investment the others did...also, I believe this forum helped confirm some other issues with their practices, mostly inconsistency in grades. PGX also offered signature verification which cgc didn't.

So if I didn't investigate those resources, I may have seen a fair number of comics to pgx....I still considered it for some comics I did not intend on ever selling...but the thought of not knowing if I could trust the grade given swayed me from that as well.

So for those that do not do their due diligence or care if the grading quality is, and you're slim on funds, why wouldnt you send it to pgx? Not everyone knows how or where to research...they've been around for several years (amazingly). For a newbie, they all look the same except price.

How could anyone take their own job seriously if the mgmt didn't provide you with computers and made you use your cell phone for research on the job? That would be a huge red flag for me on day one like "is this company legit???"

	What I take from that youtube recording, is that someone indeed was fired. But PGX has more than enough employees at this time, and PGX is not going out of business. But has plans to grow even bigger. That is what I get from the video link above. Which is not inconsistent with what we already have discussed. I don't remember hearing anywhere, that PGX was going out of business.

The recording doesn't say people were not laid-off. It just says they're fully staffed. So hiring Pizza Hut and sending others packing could still be legit.

	Yeah. People got fired. That’s all we know & that was essentially confirmed by that video. A shakeup occurred. There are probably people assuming PGX was going out of business, but no one here thought that. I suggested it being a final nail in their coffin if the new staff is as shady as we’ve been told. But that’s yet to be seen.

	I think this is over blown. A disgruntled employee who got their feelings hurt because they were fired for what ever reason, I bet that’s what this is all about.
