    Over the years I've read countless posts describing how horrible PGX grading is and seen visual evidence to that effect. 

    I agree, PGX grading lacks the sophistication of CGC and they constantly over grade.

    My question is, 'Outside the esteem virtual halls of the CGC Chat rooms, does the comic collecting rabble discount the value of PGX grades?'

    I'm of the opinion that they buy the label and not the book.

    I have a FF#1 that is a PGX 5.5.

    There is no way I'm going to send it to CGC to get a 4.5 label. 

     

    I don't buy comics anymore, but when I did I avoided PGX like plague. They don't catch resto, trimming and colour touch (or maybe they do but don't care, I don't know) so as an "investment" they're useless. PGX 6 would be to me a CGC 3. And I'd make my bid/offer accordingly. I'd pay more for the CGC security rather than take a punt on PGX getting it right one-in-a-thousand. And the Fantastic Four #1, I'd bet real money you'd get more for the unrestored CGC 4.5 than the PGX mystery box 5.5.

  2. Harley Quinn #0, Julie Newmar as Catwoman sketch by Jimbo Salgado - raw, NM, looking for $60

    Avengers Vs X-Men #1 White Queen sketch by Carlos Barberi - CGC 9.6 looking for $125

    Shipping will be extra, will depend on location. Figure on $10-20 insured and registered (signed for). I've never posted a CGC book so any advice on packaging would be appreciated! No returns accepted unless I've made an error. Damage in shipping will be covered by postal insurance. I accept PayPal (NO friends/family option please!) or payment in cash in person. Sorry for the poor pictures. Taken on an old cell phone which is now dead, so no more pics can be taken! >.<

    Is anyone else repeatedly getting asked to accept the new CGC terms?  It seems as if every time I come to the site the past few weeks it's asking me to click the "I accept" button.  Help!!!

    CGC, for the record, I now and forever yield to your terms of use and service.

    Allow cookies? That's usually what trips me up. Paranoid they're using teh kookies to track me! ;)

  4. Hi all. Personal problems mean I need to get rid of my full collection. Most stuff I know where the appropriate place to sell on the site is, but where do graphics fit in? I have a Phantom Lady set...is it (like I think) right to put them in the mixed ages, or in golden age as their content is 40s-50s? I don't want to list incorrectly, it could make selling the books tougher. That, I do not need. :(  My life is not...good...at the moment. Any advice will be very much appreciated!

     

    Thanks,

    James

  5. Thanks for the kind words everyone. It's tough at the moment. There are some things I don't feel comfortable talking about that are influencing my thinking at the moment. Maybe I should just put the books away...but I probably won't. I think I'll donate what can be donated and toss the rest. I've had about all I can handle and I just need to dump everything. Jettison every last bit of the life I had. Maybe I can forget things that way. I dunno. Anyway, I do really appreciate the kindness.
