| Now I’m concerned for the Collectors that currently have their books sitting in PGX’s basement. | ||

Original poster might be right about PGX not acknowledging that anything is going on: I by no means think that companies are required to disclose when an employee leaves; however, if your entire staff of "skilled" employees are let go and people are paying your company for said skill, that is alarming....although I don't think any of us are surprised by their business practices |

| Do they not understand that reputation is absolutely everything in this industry? If this is true, what was their goal? To hire people they could pay less? That’s all I can think of. Otherwise, what do they gain? With an overhaul & some serious rebranding, there’s no reason PGX couldn’t have been a genuine competitor in the grading industry. Instead, they may have put the final nail in their proverbial coffin. |

| There is also the possibility that these employees were fired for a legit reason. Stealing, smoking weed, etc. If it really happened, that is. | ||

| I was unaware of any trimming in their past. That’s unbelievable. That alone would be enough for me to never use them, even if their grading was otherwise spot on. | ||

| "Daniel refuses to pay attention to this type of hype and negative publicity and simply chooses to continue grading books..." This does seem to be the type of thing a "business" owner would WANT to address. |

| I did some quick internet investigation and found out some things I did not know. First, Aaron Sasson does list himself as a PGX employee on his facebook account. But none of this stuff above is on his twitter account. Second (and this blew me away), PGX is listed as a 30 million dollar company on Owler. Which is like a linkd-in type of thing. Surely that must be something PGX put out on their own. It also shows that PGX brings in $364 thousand dollars for each employee, each year. And finally, the PGX website states "they" do in house pressing. Didn't know that. I always heard it was a one or at most, two, person business. I really figured a husband and spouse team. |

| Sounds like they tried to grow into a legit competitor, and gave up in favor of the easy money for doing shit work. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slim The stuff I found was probably 4 or 5 years old, but yeah that was the claim. If I remember right, there were rumors of schil accounts on eBay belonging to the owners friend that were selling trimmed books in a regular labeled PGX slab. The rumors were enough for me to not want to do business with them. |

| Will we have the option now of stuffed, thin and deep-dish slabs? If the new guy used to work at Pizza Hut, I bet they figure he can trim edges with a pizza wheel no problem. |

| It must suck when you get fired because you screwed up on the job. I'm not saying that is the case here, but this article sheds new light on the matter at hand. PGX and the Fake Walking Dead comics - BleedingCool article |

I asked Aaron Sasson about the article on the CBCS Comic Collectors Club Facebook page. He laid the blame on management. I asked him if the graders were responsible for catching counterfeits and notifying management, This was his reply. Apparently, there is a LOT more to this story!!!  |
