Just hit QC today, Oct 5th. Lightning fast!
I noticed one difference the past couple of pre-screens. They are now listing rejects right away as soon as they hit QC so you know how you did. I like this change. I ended up with 22/25 hitting this time around which makes me happy.
Where are you seeing this at with the rejects? Haven't noticed on any of our pre-screen submissions.

I think the collector market is heading back to raw in a big way. MCS seems to be at the forefront of that movement.
We've been seeing fantastic prices on raw books in our weekly auctions. MCS is definitely a force in that market.

If CGC is getting you to submit the same books up to 3 times...I fail to see their motivation to change whatever it is they’re currently doing.
We submit very few moderns anymore because of this. This year is by far the least we've submitted in the past decade. We've changed our business model to be more around raw books. Personally I don't like slabs so it's perfect for us.

You're posting here, not the youtubers. Pics/scans of your examples, please.
I can get you a couple dozen pics/scans of 9.8 books that were rejects and got sent back in doing nothing to the books just to get 9.8s in the second or third time submitting. It is mildly frustrating to have to pay an extra $8 or $16 fee plus shipping costs to get the grade the book deserved to get in the first place.

I don't agree with his business practices.
What I do know is that video was a 'cry for help'.
Males account for 75% of total suicides.
In the US, one male commits suicide every 15 minutes.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/talking-about-men/202109/the-silent-crisis-male-suicideThis isn't something often discussed in this space, but I do think we should realize that it happens.
To say that what is happening to him is karma is one opinion, but it diminishes the overall conversation that he needs help.
P.S.
Check on your friends...This 100%. It is a serious problem in our society. It's OK to cry. It's OK to be emotional. It's not being a p*ssy. It's being a human being. While I don't agree with this mans business practices I sure hope he has a support system to help him get through something like this. Very sad situation no matter how you look at it.

mental note, let's revisit this thread in 5 years and again in 10. I'd love to see what progress has been made
I'm guessing we'll still be waiting on our slow track Economy submission from this past month.

Funny meme!
But I don't get it - maybe I'm looking at something differently.
So instead of taking a $15-$17/hr job because it doesn't pay enough right now... what does that person who needs work do then? Not work? Hold out for a management position?
I guess I'm missing something.
Rent has jacked up everywhere and incomes haven't kept up for quite a while. Yeah, that's very true, and it's far worse in many areas than others. But young people still need to work don't they? Do they make mistakes and do a schlitty job on purpose to "stick it to the man" for not paying them enough?
You mentioned skilled factory jobs, well those disappeared a generation ago when it was discovered that people didn't care if it shut down a whole town in Michigan or Ohio to buy cheaper widgets made overseas. Now we have the opposite idea - that companies should increase wages for all workers, which means increasing prices across the board. Cutting CEO raises to offset worker raises would be a drop in the bucket in most cases. For example, Walmart's CEO got a $3million salary increase a year ago, so if that were spread among all the Walmart employees instead, each employee would get $1.15 per year more.
So if folks want higher quality workers at CGC, they'll have to pay significantly more per slab to pay for those higher-priced employees.
And maybe that's what it will take!
You're right. I agree that those that don't want to work whatsoever or those that work at a place they hate and treat people terrible because of it are an issue. What I've found from most people is they've found something they can do to make side money so they don't work at one of these $15/hour jobs. I know multiple people driving for Uber Eats or a delivery service of some kind that make $20+/hour. I think they've decided they'd rather have the freedom instead of working for a company that will never appreciate them. It's a weird time in history. I hope things eventually level but I don't see it heading in that direction.

A full time CGC submission specialist makes $15-$17 an hour based on the CGC job listing. That's about $2350 a month minus taxes (approximate). A 1 bedroom apartment costs about $1300 a month in Fort Lauderdale. That's 54% of living expenses just in rent alone. That doesn't include school, food, gas, phone, bills, outings, family, etc. CGC can pull in almost $1000 alone with just one 25 modern FT submission that takes what? maybe three to four hours of total labor from start to finish?
So yeah, I wouldn't care either if I was being paid like that.
(Apologies for the tangent, now back to our scheduled post.)
This guy gets it. And no apology is necessary. There are a lot of clueless comments from individuals in this thread that obviously have no idea what the younger generation is facing now. There is ONE reason why CGC's quality has gone down.. they're not paying enough. This thinking of everyone is lazy and wants to party nowadays is asinine. The kids I know that are in their early 20's are trying to figure out how to survive till next month on next to nothing. They don't have money to party. That's just the images that are propogated on social media. I'm sorry an older generation had to face war. That's nothing I would wish on any human to have to face but don't think there aren't other struggles that younger kids face now. At least you could work 40 hours at a factory job and survive and even raise a family 30-40 years ago. The John Deere factory close to me pays $20.80/hour starting wage. That's the same amount factories were paying 25 years ago. The problem is the older generation lost their nerve. The idea that "you should just be happy you have work" was spread to the masses and the previous generation bought it. Because of that our kids are now paying for it and instead of pointing the blame on the ones at fault (greedy corporations and a corrupt government) you have the nerve to shame our children. That's what they're upset about. /RANT

We realized Jason from Black Flag was a dishonest individual when we watched one of his early Facebook live streams and he put up a mystery box and showed a New Mutants #98 as the draw book for the mystery box. He started the mystery box out at around $600 and it ended up selling for $1000. That mystery lot had nothing in it besides that New Mutants #98. Mind you this was 5 years ago and that book was $200 raw. That was the last time we ever pulled up his auctions. There are red flags with sellers early on. We felt that was definitely one of them.
