CGC, Bad Idea or Both?

I feel like I'm being scammed.

Ok this one was too funny not to post

I think if CGC blocked everyone who made a comment negative to their posts on Facebook they wouldn't have half the followers. Almost every post they put up these days is very negatively received. From their price increase post: On the post about the "THE BOYS Season 3" Perez signing Vengeance Post I could go on and on but I think the point is made.

I'm not sure if we should be shocked at the lack of response (cause that is their history in doing so). Expanding Tat's in the past - Ignore the boards with no response as to cause or changes Issues with SCS - Ignore the boards Lack of inner wells - gives response contradictory to practices and poof all of a sudden it's back to "normal" Creep Engine - These new cases are just fine you don't know what you are talking about Newton Rings - Come on guys they really aren't that bad stop whining. Quality Control - I mean it only took them like a year to even acknowledge there was issues and claim every book goes through a rigorous QC check Instead it's new signing announcement

Oh come on. I'm all for bringing out the torches and what not but to say that 1. This is a Blackstone issue (which it very well is now). 2. That they knew this was done months before they purchased and had any knowledge that of the 3 or 5 or whatever million comics, CGC graded 34 invisible ones and put them on the census. There are guys on this forum that track the census like mad (Valiantman) how come it took them who are looking for "oddities" and rarities 6 months to find them. How would they have known? Hello CGC Execs we are about to buy the company have you graded anything we should be aware of that might be a bad idea? No Blackstone why would there be everything we do we run through all kinds of checks to ensure we only put out the best product (puddling, creep engine, newton rings, terrible marketing ideas like photoshopping a hulk 1 5.0 into a cgc 9.0 and creating a 15ft banner, making stupid IG videos of Brittany showing $1 bills over a CGC signing). So do you really have any reason to believe other than pure speculation that Blackstone knew this was done 7 months prior to purchase? Do they wish they'd have found out about it soon? I'm guessing the next few weeks will tell us that. I think this is an absolute steaming pile of trash as to what CGC has done and a grave disservice to their product but to say that Blackstone knew is legit trying to pull out the torches.

They may have had no idea that this BAD IDEA was even there. They have millions of books on the census and they sure weren't gunna look at everyone when the deal was in prices or finalized

Based on the grading date of Dec 2020 and the Blackstone deal not being until July of 2021 looks like this isn't their doing.

https://www.cgccomics.com/certlookup/1627321034/ Yup they are real serial numbers

If market of the books was 170k and of that most were graded we'd easily pay 100+.

Clink should not be advertising this book like they did. They should reach out to the consignor and CGC should regrade it. The fact that it's being pushed as a 9.8 is disgusting it is clearly no longer a 9.8.

Watch the game tape to help them improve....

Told ya my elves saw it go by. Go back to watching basketball.

They aren't taking the normal routes to you this time of year. I just saw what I can only assume is your box:

Moderns delivered to CGC June 1st still SFG Moderns delivered to CGC August 5th GEI First in, First out

were these received by CGC on the 16th or "checked into and entered into their system". I've got MPS that have been stuck at SFG, they arrived June 1st that didn't get "opened" until August.

These books were graded a 9.8...then the gorillas got to it before encapsulation. (Not my books posted on facebook)

New pickup? Either way

Poof there goes the Flash! @Azkaban got me this what seems like a decade ago. I really should pick up some more while everyone is concerned with MCU

Express box sitting in QC for a week now. Moderns went from SFG to Shipped in under 48hrs...anyone wanna take bets on any screwups

This sort of brutal mess up really calls into question if there are multiple copies of the books in the same submission with different grades if they are the correct grades.
