This was posted in October of last year in that group. Since it was posted publicly I'm assuming its OK to share here.

Every minute it looks more and more like Hero.

It doesn't look good, right? So what if he doesn't frequent here any more? Clearly he isn't communicating well outside of this place. Seems like a way to not have to make promises to a larger amount of people.

Well anyone who felt better by ChiSoxFan's post is probably now not feeling any better. I think anyone giving the benefit of the doubt at this point is probably just not being realistic.

All we need now is some crazy rant from the owner to turn this into Hero Restoration part 2.

Imagine not knowing about the CGC forums and hero Mike saving the day yet again. Its crazy.

You are a true hero.

I don't think you ever technically owned your car if you finance it. And you probably don't have the title. The bank has it.

That isn't even remotely a good analogy. You don't own the car at that point. You aren't bidding on your own item.

Deciding what you want your reserve to be during the auction? Good lord. That is some mental gymnastics to justify shill bidding.

I'm no lawyer either, but this does not sound right at all. Typically the person the items were stolen from gets their items back. Those caught in the middle are generally out of luck.

I would hope that all listing for humble cow are removed pending further investigation and not just a few books.

And probably find a few suckers to defend him.

Its a good point. Its like someone making a thousand predictions and one of them turning out to be right and saying that guy knows what he is talking about.

So those are the people working for CGC/JSA? And does that mean they are an expert in every single artist's sketches?

That seems incredibly simplistic. Who exactly is trained to analyze sketches and determine if they are fake? My guess is this will get the rubber stamp treatment.

So how exactly will they be authenticating sketches?

Shouldn't it be three days to say if you want the service and if not you don't get it? Seems like there should be a better way. If they have time to send an email how about a phone call.

I don't know if this can be confirmed, but saw this posted somewhere else. Someone submitted books with sigs on them, but did not want sig verification. They were happy for the books to come back however they would with unverified sigs. They got an email from CGC saying they noticed sigs on the book and if they didn't hear back in three days they were assuming they just forgot to ask for verification and they would submit for verification and get charged. Seems a bit backwards.

RIP

FYI - ebay will stop taking American Express as a form of payment on August 17th.

All I know is if I was contemplating a 9.9 prescreen service I would be giving people a reason to use it.
