That Universal Soldier is one smart cookie.

Yes, yes he can.🦸‍♂️

That kind of sounds like me Bob.

Let's be honest here Roy, when it comes to others like Kav, Cal, Greggy and others , you are all in on a roasting. When it comes to YOU , your panties get in a bind. I get it I hope people dont dislike me either, but let's stop the hypocrisy. I also dont want you to take this as an attack on you. I would say this to my best friend, because I'm honest with people regardless if they are family, friends or my message board family. I'm probably going to get a hand slap because you are going to report me to moderation, that's okay I still think you are a good person.

So what do you want us to talk about? Man that cover or story is cool only goes so far in a conversation.

I dont know why you dislike me so. I actually really like you, and meant that I would expect better of you. Because I think you are a good person. I have nothing against you at all, but when I see you at shows to say hi you basically ignore me. I dont know where this animosity comes from at all. I'm sorry if I ever got under your skin somehow but it was never meant.

T Think of kav as the Monk of the boards.

Or training process needs to be done with more detail

Dont mind kav he's obsessive compulsive. That's why he does things so much, so its not his intention to bombard us with the same thing over and over. He cant help it. 😂

So if they are having 3 signings a month I would doubt they are having problems with materials such as encapsulation products, or employees working. They simply became inundated with too many people sending in books. Which is their business. If I were an owner of a company, any company I would look at my progress and change my business model to support that progress. After all this banter of ours I think they didnt plan for growth of such Caliber. I also think that the people to blame here are the the people in charge who in their infinite wisdom thought that customers are not important enough to care about turn around times . Now they are trying to backtrack, and when that happens your books are being rushed through the process, and getting ruined because they are rushing to get things done hence the QC issues . I know when I rush through my day I make more mistakes than if I spent time on each customer. That's my 2 cents, but I'm pretty sure I'm on target with my assumption.

I'd hate to say what I'd like to stuff in some family members faces....🤛

I'm excited

I polled all of Stu's ID's and yes 80% of Stu was not as tolerant of kav than the other 20% of Stu's ID's.

Look I'm friends with you kav , and 80% of boardies hate you . Okay 81.23%. I would hope they dont hold that against me.🤣

See they had since 2013 to get this sheit together.

Maybe they should worry about the task at hand, rather than adding more to the already large pile of books.

Maybe that's the underlying problem. I'm in pest control, and I'm the best at what I do. I dont venture into auto mechanics, or plumbing. I focus on my one thing I do best. I dont stretch myself. It's always best to do 1 thing great, than to do several things mediocre. I really dont have a dog in this race, because I really dont care about turn around times etc. I am however interested in the health of my hobby, and this does(right or wrong) affect our hobby.

Well I had a lot of fun with our conversation, but now I have to actually work so have a great day y'all.

Personally, I would rather just keep on buying encapsulated books instead of waiting for them to arrive at 11 months later, and with quality control issues.

How? Shortage of employees, because people would rather get free money than work? Possible. Otherwise I don't see any way that the pandemic would have an effect on people sending in comic books.

Is it,really?

Well sir this has nothing to do with the Pandemic. These problems were occurring well before , so please dont put the pandemic excuse stamp on their situation.

Hmmmm, where did I put Famous Firsts. If i can sell each for 50K i will.🤪😂

I'm sorry CGC for your issues, as tough as they may seem. However you should have anticipated the issues in the first place. I love your message board, and the people who comprise it. I'm not a fan of your business practices.
