CGC has just announced their attendance at AVN this year in Las Vegas where they will be slabbing and promotong soiled and signed Sig Series panties of any pr0n star that will buy them hot dogs for the service. They will undoubtedly mis-grade these too but concentrate on the marvelous stains!

CGC ruined the last slabbed book I bought (or will ever buy) between the time they graded it to the time they sent it to the unethical hole that sold it to me. How many 9.2 or 9.4 sig series are sporting 9.8's out there I wonder and yes I can grade a book unlike to old world primates currently doing it at CGC... Pay peanuts, get monkeys. insufficiently_thoughtful_persons. There people are a massive tent full of clowns in my sole opinion of course.

Hi, I'm pretty new to comics but have been using archival boards and 4mil beaded mylar bags from Bags Unlimited for my PC (I don't trade or sell). I find my copper-age and moderns fit well using the same sizes. Although they "fill with air" a little bit, they compress the book against the board really well. "Wavy" books compress almost perfectly flat. One thing I noticed from your photos are that your bags and boards are quite a bit larger than the books themselves? This may contribute to having more loose space in the bag allowing for wavy pages to remain thus? These bags and boards I get are far from cheap but the protection is premium as far as I can tell. Oh, I should mention that these are made for storage and not for re&re'ing books. It surely can be done but I don't bag them in 4mil until they're ready for their long sleep. If you go for heavier mylar and tighter fitting boards, I suggest you practice inserting books with a couple of reader copies or something expendible if you're not accustomed to it.

I need to be a more loving person, forgive me.

Huh... learn something horrifyingly new every day...

Grading is Broken. FIFY You're not the only one that's done. Raw/self-graded is the new black.

The part where CBCS loses hundreds of high-grade books belonging to CMC is a pretty good part too...

Hey so, what is more important to CGC? a) Integrity and honesty in professional grading services? b) Scamming the industry and community by "hybrid-grading" Clayton Crain's s***ty, worthless signature on a counterfeit piece of garbage to make a few bucks off lizard-brained scammers? ... Rhetorical question. I'll probably never buy another slabbed book or submit a book for grading, for as long as I live given CGC's integrity, honesty and even their ability to grade a fricking book properly is down the pipe and CBCS is losing hundreds of valuable, high-grade books after shipping them to someone's private residence to facilitate grading aleggedly now (CMC)? I've been seeing this happen in the philography/autograph market for decades now and it hasn't done anything good for that market either... Bye bye trustworthy graded comic market, I hardly knew you before clowns blew it all up with monumental stupidity and greed. Wondering what deranged comedy CGCMike is going to deceminate (or urinate) on us all next because unfortunately for him he is the face of this organization of consumate douchenozzles.

It's blatantly obvious that neither CGC, Black Flag or WhatNot give a toss about scamming and counterfeiting. CGC has all of a sudden relegated itself to literal illigitimacy and hopefully they won't destroy the graded comic market with their scamadelic greed and lack of integrity. Of course you won't see this because the "moderators" can't let their corrupted wizardry get flamed in here...
