Where in the world was the Quality Control at CGC???
Gaard replied to Wally's Comics's topic in Comics General
Did someone actually request that label? Or is it simply another failure by CGC? -
That's a pretty big one, too. Just a casual glance would've detected it. Obviously it wasn't looked at before shipping it out.
-
Yeah, I've heard it's knocking on the door to exploitation.

Universal = Blue label. Not restored or qualified.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how surprised should CGC customers be that this happened? "Rest assured..." -

Oh boy. I'm thinking you're not the first person they have shushed. -

Yep. Many people are experiencing this and tell that MattCS guy in 'Ask CGC'. He responds with his favorite statement ... "Rest assured..." And then it doesn't get corrected. -
Years ago, GPA upgraded their site and people got out their pitchforks, and many people moved to GoCollect. Then GoCollect upgraded and people once again got out their pitchforks. I've used both. I now exclusively use GC, just because it's cheaper. I mainly use it for the completed sales data and never take their word for any FMV, I do the work myself ... which is easy to do if you have completed sales from the last few years. And I like the cover pics.

Sure instills confidence, huh? -
Done PGX >CGC and CBCS>CGC. Both came back the same grade.
-
Wouldn't it be great if CGC responded on how this happened? Wouldn't it be great if they told the truth?
-
Would they grade it if some acetate was attached to it?

I've bought about a dozen books over the past couple of years and sold about half that many. Sometimes for the asking price, sometimes for an offer price. Never any problems (other than some sellers are pretty slow sending their book in)

At least it's only 'slight' ... according to them. -

Years ago, I was one of CGC's biggest cheerleaders. I would praise them to whoever was within earshot. I'm sure I was quite annoying to my friends and family. "Oh great, we have to listen to the old geezer talk about his funny books again." I haven't raised a pom-pom in years. I'll still give them a thumbs-up now and then for doing something good, but they've gone so far downhill in the last few years (actions, decisions, and attitude), there's quite possibly no chance to go back to being the best out there. Given their "let them eat cake" attitude for all these screw-ups (including this latest disaster - a 9.6 for a comic with a tear? Really?), I've become, as you all know, a very vocal criticizer of CGC. I can't be critical of the people who claim they are the best at resto detection, or have the best slab, or their knowledge is tops (although I have to bite my tongue with this one), or this or that. People have their own opinions. One thing that isn't opinion, but rather fact, is that their Quality Control is, by far, the worst in the industry. (What happened to pride of putting out an acceptable product?) But that's not even the worst part of CGC, after all, somebody's got to be last. What, to me, is the worst part of this company is the attitude that they have ... not only for their customers, but also for their own shortcomings. It's part "let them eat cake" and part "I don't care". It's like they have no interest in improving. The people at the top, imo, need to rethink a lot of their decisions. By the way, that 9.6/tear wasn't just a QC issue. It was deceit. This was not the first case of deceit in this thread.
