So someone is selling mystery boxes of graded pokemon cards?
How is CGC involved?
Does CGC own Omega?

Ask yourself, is CGC actually pressing the books or are you just paying for a grade bump?

Is this where I am supposed to post that I do not like that they are using yellow for witnessed and unwitnessed JSA books? Ok cool.

But like a crease is a crease, water damage is water damage. There's a physical defect attached to each the severity of which is of slight opinion. But Poor Press? Where or what is the associated defect? It's pure opinion. 

Pancakes are for breakfast not for comicbooks.

"My copy is in excellent condition"

That's just your opinion man.

I did a retailer variant for Hip Hop Family Tree #1. I really wanted the cover to be of Puff Daddy. Ed hated puff daddy and said no. We ended up going with Slick Rick. Great guy. Really sad news.

After Bob was kicked off the CGC boards he became very anti-CGC in most of his postings. Said there were a lot of "CGC people" bad mouthing him. if you sent him a message on facebook he would almost always respond.

Hi, and thanks. At most you will find out who my ISP is and that I am located in Portugal.

Other than that I dont see much of a security risk. Or am I wrong ?

Might want to edit this without your IP address being visible in the attached image.

I don't understand why there is a picture from mycomicshop? Might have nothing to do with anything but was the book sent directly from MCS to CGC?

 

I kind of remember seeing one or two purple label books that said "pressed" on them from the old case. Can't find images. Was that just another fever dream?

In fairness to CGC, cameras can be a proactive visual deterrent, but they are typically reactive in terms of viewing the footage.  It could have been months before a single book was even known to be missing.  It's very possible that all the books were stolen in the timeframe before even the first theft was investigated by reviewing camera footage.  

Sure but my understanding was when submitting books they were in a secured facility. I assumed they would have lots of cameras so when looking at something like how many items an employee stole, it would all be on camera. But I'm basing all of this on what I want to believe. Weird stuff.

So does CGC not have cameras that cover the entire "secured facility"?

Remember, most of the companies grading these games would charge people submitting those same game "fair market value" grading fees. Reminds me of the stories I heard a few years ago where people were being told they couldn't grade Walking Dead #1s with CGC through the modern grading tier because the value was too high. Not sure how that ended up working out but I am interested in what is going on with the WATA price manipulation lawsuits.

They do? I swear I've never seen them before in my entire life. Must be a downtown-only thing.

If you google "Regional police exchange zone" you'll see that almost every police department in Ontario has a special area dedicated for this.

Meet him at a police station. Seems normal, maybe he thinks he can slickly talk you down in person? Not that odd but something I almost never do. Toronto police stations have these "Sales and Exchange Zones for online sale" areas for these kind of things.

This is all fine and good but why has my copy of 50 cent blood on the sand sat in "Grading" for the last two weeks?

Come on and ship that thing WATA! What the heck!

I'm happy to see you guys restarted this thread.
