Lily - "Check it out! Made with titanium!"

I didn't have anything specific. I was speaking in general.

Right, that's why all I said was "passed through their store" and didn't say anything accusatory.

Ah, I was under the impression that some of the books on the list CGC published had passed through their store and that's what the Instagram account showed.

Slabs should be shipped in the 1095 shirt box. That's the tallest at over 15". They don't make the large flat rate board game size boxes anymore, sadly.

Do they know that some of these books might have passed through their store?

Saw this on Facebook the other day when it was posted. Pretty awesome, and the condition it's in is amazing. I'd love to have it in the house but there's nowhere to put it!

If you know which ID is his, out him.

What on Earth are you babbling about? Your post makes zero coherent sense.

Did you read my response AFTER you posted this? Lol. Troublemaker.

To bring up an ancient Internet term...PPOR.

As Lionel Ritchie sang, "That's the way it should be..."

Gotcha. I wasn't clear. My apologies. For my personal collection, I only have raw books.

Lol. The truth hurts.

Why are you so hard for the feds getting involved? This is nothing they'll EVER be concerned with. They barely have enough manpower to go after the legit horrible stuff that happens in this country, let alone these small potatoes.

Look, I get it. Everyone who's concerned about this wants action to prevent it from happening again. They want real change and real results where everyone is aware of what happened, the steps taken to remedy it, and more mental security going forward with CGC and the graded comics hobby. They want transparency throughout the entire process so they can each individually feel better, whether affected personally or not. I'm just being realistic in saying that based on what's gone on in the past, none of that will happen.

It has nothing to do with "attitudes" my friend...it has to do with what's actually happened in the past. Do you know what's happened in the past as a result of all those scandals? Nothing. Nothing at all.

If you're talking about me, who said I didn't buy slabs?

...because every scandal that's happened has vanished with NOTHING affecting the hobby or CGC. This will be more of the same, yet most posting in this thread act like it's the end of the world.

Everyone still running around like chickens with their heads cut off over this nothing burger, eh? Lol. 350 books out of ten million graded...CGC will be gone by next week! Oh no!

I stand corrected on the total amount of graded books. 10 million, not 18 million. Still enough to make my point.

Lol. Hilarious. Incorrect on all aspects of your post. Try again.

There's a Facebook group called "Action Figure Identification" where everyone there is a wizard. Seriously. Take that picture and put numbers next to each piece. Post it in the group and within seconds you'll start to get replies. They really are amazing. If you'd rather do it yourself or don't have Facebook, download Google Lens. It's also a great tool to use to ID'ing figures & parts.

18 million books. Even if 10,000 people know about this "scandal" that's not even a blip on the radar of the comic collecting public. In the grand scheme of things, in the long run, as far as the future of the hobby...this means NOTHING. The only people that care are the 75 or so people that have posted in the few threads we have here and maybe a couple thousand between YouTube and Facebook. That's it.

How? 99% of them won't even know this happened.
