  1. Buy company for xx amount of dollars. Work their magic to make it look like an awesome company. Sell company for a profit.
  2. I wonder how long it would take CGC to just clear all books they have had for over 8 months (not including pressing)? Instead of some books hitting the lottery and getting completed almost immediately how about using that same magic on these ancient submissions.
  3. Heck, sometimes they even go for an amount including the grading fees.
  4. Ha! I kicked myself in the nuts for free. Take that CGC.
  5. I have some on the wall. I enjoy looking at them. Now they aren't thousand dollar books and there is zero direct sun light. The only expensive book I have showing is framed behind museum quality UV protected glass. That one has been up for years and I haven't noticed any hint at fading.
  6. He equates dealers to CGC employees. There isn't much to work with here.
  7. And today my submission falls off tracking because they have had it for so long. You would think CGC would at least be self aware enough to realize that this is just a kick in the nuts and fix this.
  8. And people think they would be care about making money off grading invisible comics.
  9. I see more and more non CGC slabs in the online shows I watch for whatever that is worth.
  10. I'm guessing they are also desperate for you to pay with Friends and Family or a check. Be smart.
  11. We made so much money we couldn't spend any of it to make shipping faster.
  12. I'm not buying from any seller that states this. You don't have time to inspect the CGC cases? Then don't sell them.
  13. Most of the people selling magazines here on the boards are extremely trusted sellers. You can't go wrong.
  14. Don't feel bad. Its such an obvious thing that it almost seems impossible to get wrong you didn't think about it. *Every slab goes though a vigorous QC review.
  15. I'm not a betting man, but I would bet everything I own that there is zero chance you would ever get that kind of answer even if it was 100% true.
  16. I feel like I should call. But I'm assuming that will actually make me more frustrated than I already am.
  17. https://bookpalace.com/acatalog/info_ILLUSTRATORSSPA.html?fbclid=IwAR0rpoG9h_xgEBoAkjE6MR1v8kpI_FpYc8fHux6bZG2N8U0XQrm0kl8v_g4#SID=1497
  18. Also check craigslist, facebook marketplace and places like that and see if you can spot them. Sorry this happened to you.
  19. When your books have been there over 9 months you grasp at anything you can. And that is with no pressing.
