    Uh-oh...

    I always used the shiny side of the backing board against the comic, as it made the most sense. Me too, but until FD did his thing with the PH test the other month I wasn't 100% sure. That was FFB that did the Ph test.

  4. Yeah but is that CGC's Job? There are resources out there to educate the masses....Ebay, Grading guides, OSPG.... Yes that is CGC's job. If you ever see CGC at a con, there is no mention of different colored labels at their booth or on their submission form. From what I remember, they have a display of CGC books, none of which are PLODs or GLODs. I'm not saying they should discourage submitters form submitting stupid books, but at least they should let them know so that they don't feel disappointed when they get the books back. Which in turn might make them never to submit again, feeling that CGC is too hard on their books.
  5. A problem I've seen with CGC is that they do not advise submitters on their submissions. Granted, most comic collectors are knowledgeable enough to know what they are submitting and the approximate grade. However, from my observations of onsite submitting, quite a few people literally have no clue what they submitting. I have seen guys submit mid-low grade modern non-key issues, in which they pay more in grading fees than the value of comic being graded. Some of these are indeed sentimental copies, but others just don't know what CGC is about. I understand CGC is a business out to make money, but they are not in the business of screwing customers. I feel they should at least ensure that the submitter is aware of the pitfalls of submitting (i.e. qualified, restored, etc.)
  6. I agree, it is a cool connection, but shouldn't be considered part of the Green River Pedigree.
  7. 100 pager sales sucked for the longest time. But it did pick up earlier this year! Must've been that "CGC Collector" artticle . . . It was Icefires getting ahold of some money.
  8. Greggy exposes himself enough, don't encourage him.
  9. Actually a lot of people don't know the answer to this either. You should place food against the dull side of the foil. That's not what this says. Nor is it what this says. Had you taken the time to read your links you would notice that I am correct, food should be stored against the dull side. They recommend cooking with the food against the shiny side which makes sense. . "Which side of Reynolds Wrap® should I use, the shiny or the dull side? Actually, it makes no difference which side of the Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil you use—both sides do the same fine job of cooking, freezing and storing food. The difference in appearance between dull and shiny is due to the foil manufacturing process. In the final rolling step, two layers of aluminum foil are passed through the rolling mill at the same time. The side coming in contact with the mill's highly polished steel rollers becomes shiny. The other side, not coming in contact with the heavy rollers, comes out with a dull or matte finish." The sky is grey.
