    I think they say your book can be subject to a regrade in theory.... in reality it seems to happen rarely if ever.

    Guys can we take AI debate to another thread?
  3. mephistopheles
    Do you have the sale date? And the sale date for 1309487005 too?

    It was from 2015, can't see scans.

    It's going to be funny when CGC spanks him with a box full of 8.0 purples.
  7. mephistopheles
    I am skeptical that anyone at CGC is knowingly involved. I think his story that he calls in favors from CGC is just deflection from his scamming. And we don't know that he hasn't made mistakes. I asked earlier if anyone submitted reslab that got regraded lower. No response. So I am 95% sure they are not thoroughly examining re-holders.

    I don't think so, but I wish the extent of his actions was limited to marrying books. Personally, I don't even have a big problem with married books as long as it's done competently. What percentage of ASM 238 actually have the original tattooz?

    Sticky Goose obviously has no clue what he is talking about. He just enjoys taking potshots at other influencers.

    It will be difficult to remove human graders altogether but AI could certainly compare high res scans of books to ensure they are the same book.
  11. mephistopheles
    Bingo! CGC was clearly too cheap/lazy to fix such an obvious gap in their QC. Now it's going to cost them (and by extension us) more.

    Signings are a different process, where the book is removed from the inner well and handled by signer.

    Question: has anyone here ever submitted a slab for reholdering and received a grade drop? Guessing not unless it was an extreme case.
  14. mephistopheles
    Just spitballing how the scam might have started. I bet he had a 9.6 and a 9.8 with a defective case. and he was bitter about getting a 9.6 so he decided to "test" cgc and swapped wells. When that got through, he figured he'd try a 9.4, then a 9.2, then Newsstand, then a purple, then a MJ etc...Each time the book sailed through and he became more and more brazen and greedy.

    I suggest you grab screenshots if possible.

    Well if nothing else, Santa delivered content to the youtube comic guys. And it's the gift that keeps on giving.

    What a @#$%^ mess. CGC's reputation is going to be tarnished for a long time.

    You have too much faith in law enforcement. I doubt they will do anything.

    I wonder how many of those Spider Man 238 "blues" actually have the tattoos inside. Guessing around 0%.
  22. mephistopheles
    If not, they will get hit with a flurry of lawsuits including class actions, and based on what we can surmise, they will most likely lose.
  23. mephistopheles
    Aren't they already supposed to be doing that?
  24. mephistopheles
    Aren't books "supposed" to be evaluated by at least 2 graders? I just don't buy the rogue employee excuse. This sure looks like a systemic failure to re-evaluate reholdered wells.
  25. mephistopheles
    Prediction #1: ALL reslabs will have to be removed from the inner well and regraded moving forward. Prediction #2: The price for reslabs is about to increase.
