I don't think you will find anyone here who would argue that CGC isn't the best 3rd party grading service, I mean who is their competition?

 

This is exactly what I've been asking. This discussion between you and I hasn't been about who is better than CGC because there isn't.

 

If you don't use CGC (or any established, credible 3rd party service) then what are your options?

 

You are either relying on someone else or yourself. Those are your options.

 

In other words, unless you have someone spectacular in your back pocket (like Fishler) there are no other viable options.

 

 

How much would one have to (theoretically) pay Fishler per hour for resto detection on books he isn't selling you?

 

 

This sounds like a question for kav!

 

 

On a side note.... I'd like to hear what Zaid has to say about this particular incident. I don't see him post much anymore.

 

Someone did bring this thread to my attention and I immediately contacted CGC to ensure it was being timely addressed, which it was. CGC leadership posted a status update which, at least from what I could tell, negated any further need for me to do anything.

 

As always, best way to bring anything to my attention and follow-up is via PM or e-mail at Mark@MarkZaid.com. [/quote

 

 

 

 

 

I dont know if I would call their post a response as more of just denial. My biggest problem with this whole thing is they called a universal book blue instead of taking 15 minutes to have a Grade really look at it without any bias they just said its not trimmed. Knowing CGC can just throw restorations wherever they want without proof is really sad and the fact they cant admit it is even worse as it wont be fixed by denial.

All they did is trim a post off its cool no one will notice

I think the bigger problem is saying a book is restored and in reality it is not. If that is the case.

Does Kav have the book or what

Faded I have had a x-men 139 that was all black and white but its what happens. I dont think its worth grading.

You will get the economy ones about 10 days late

They are working overtime every day and even working on weekends to catch up though. I dont know what tiers or if all but they have been working on saturdays receiving packages and such.
