Is anyone even questioning at this point that CGC is selling grades? I hope they made a boat load of money on this to make the debacle worth it.

I would like to clear something up. Anyone who thinks this is CGC jumping the shark does not understand how that works. You only get to jump the shark once and that happened way before this.

I don't understand the outrage. CGC graded an INVISIBLE comic. You literally can't get any worse than that.

I heard they weren't capping how many anyone could buy. It does take a rocker surgeon to figure out who was going to benefit from that.

@CGC Mike Another one for your list.

Appreciate the report. Great stuff!!!!!

I did a local pick up once. I have no idea how it was handled on the seller's side to protect themselves from a fraudulent claim. We met in a police station parking lot. Is saved me about $20 in shipping and I didn't even realize until after I bought it that the seller lived in the same town as me.

And you are being an intentional person_who_is_obnoxiously_self-impressed. Maybe we are even.

If the money goes elsewhere are they really the seller? I was just throwing it out there to make sure there weren't any unintended consequences. But if you want to be a about it have at it.

Would this impact charity threads at all? If people donate books to be sold, but the money goes someplace else would that be considered not having the book in hand? I don't think so, but just want to make sure they don't get caught up in the rule.

I really do have a hard time trying to figure out why anyone would want a rule that they have to be in hand vs. having to just state if they are or aren't. Why would anyone care if someone else would choose to go forward with a purchase knowing the books weren't in hand?

I thought you did a good job with the first poll. I think any poll that is only going to have two choices (no rule and one of the rule options) is just inherently flawed.

I thought the first poll was exactly the right one. But apparently that didn't work.

That sounds like a terrible process.

But what we don't know is how any of the other rule choices from the first poll would have done in a poll like this. Perhaps every single one would have had a similar result.

As poorly as the proposed one.

I'm curious how such a rule would even be enforced.

Side note, that cover just hurts my eyes .

I would have voted for a rule stating the seller had to state if the books were in hand or not. We are all adults. If someone wants to buy a book not in hand I don't see why anyone else would care.

100% wrong. No one voted against any rule. They just picked their top preference. You have no clue if people don't want rule #1. They just liked other options better. And quite frankly I couldn't possibly care less what you get or don't get.

What I think is that people overwhelmingly want a rule and given the options #1 is the most popular. You are also making a big assumption (that I think is false).

To further complicate things, only 18% said that no new rule is needed, so 72% are in agreement that a new rule IS needed--they just can't agree on what the new rule should be. #1 is currently the most popular of the proposed new rules. I abstain from voting on the grounds that it doesn't affect me. I think this is the better way to look at. Vast majority are in favor of a rule and #1 is the most popular choice of which rule to implement.
