Get Marwood & I

New-ton ring, ring, why don't you give me a call!

Just look at Long John Silver! Oh, privacy. Sorry.

Money money money, must be funny, in a scenario where people willingly pay for sub standard products! ABBA were good weren't they.

A drag for the guy reading this that married her. His slab is infected and his wife is ugly. I ballsed that up didn't I ...although they could've been lesbians and the date later turned I suppose? Anyway, Newton rings suck and we want them gone. "Whadda we want!" "No newton rings!" "Whendawe want em?" "As soon as practically possible please"

H for humble...I am a humble kind of fellow Aha! Humble, not honest. I see that now. So, where noted should I read IMO as 'I'm a knowitall'? Oh, wait....

Changing the subject for a second, how does IMHO differ to IMO? Is not your opinion alone honest? Where noted, should I read IMO as 'I'm lying'?

I think that issue - the possibility of porky pie telling - is slightly left of the side issue which itself is an issue. Well, it is Friday

Ok, no worries

I remember you saying you'd tried to discuss this with them, yes. I suspect you know more about it than they do. I would like to know what causes it Mr McD, for sure, out of interest. But the 'why' is a side issue to the main thrust of this poll. Getting back to my new car analogy, I don't care what caused them scratches. I just want them gone. And I want the garage owner to stop telling me that a small number of them are to be expected and acceptable. They're not.

I don't know if we all see the same thing, but I love the random pictures that shown in embedded threads sometimes

Here's my disaster story here:

What! Who was it!? I'll release the hounds! Joking. Let's keep all the pressure on CGC. They're reading this. The cause is reasonable. We want a ring free case. It's a visual medium. Rings kill the visuals. It can't stand. The ball is in their court to respond reasonably. They haven't done so yet.

We're up to 22 pages and the thread hasn't been locked or poofed. That's because we're all staying civil. Lets keep it that way is all I'm saying. Don't give them a reason to lock it

Thank you. I can appreciate your position of what a constructive question is. I will take your suggestion under advisement Instead of taking pot shots at each other, why not aim them at CGC. I don't profess to know the full history. The point of this particular thread is to compel CGC to finally, and satisfactorily, acknowledge the problem, provide a decent interim solution, and agree to engineer it out of existence. I want them to stop telling us NRs are normal and / or acceptable. As the clear majority of the voters here have made clear - They. Are. Not. If I'm wrong about that, so are 150+ of us. To my knowledge, this thread is the first time I have seen CGC (not the admin team) themselves respond directly to the board members about a service issue. So we're making progress because scores of people complaining together as one is more powerful than scattered individual complaints. Success equals ridding the product of NRs once and for all and, in the meantime, providing an adequate refund / reholdering service to those who aren't satisfied. We should all keep pressing for that (no pressing jokes please). Nothing changes if we accept an inferior product and allow it to be normalised. We absolutely should not allow CGC to determine the reholder severity criteria. I don't buy a brand new car and accept delivery of it with a few scratches because they're only a few. No scratches. No newton rings. Nuff said?

I think so, yes. Still yes. If you're unhappy, the extent of severity is irrelevant isn't it? Ring CGC and state your dissatisfaction firmly. Do tell us how it goes if you do Yes, I thought they were sealed. How lucky was I then, to have 200+ gen 1 and 2 cases with no rings? Badly. You wouldn't deliver sour milk would you Milkman? As above, how lucky was I ???? I can't get them to appear on my remaining gen 2's. And it looks to me like the inner well is in full contact with the outer well anyway. Meanwhile, we're up to 170 participants. Tres cool Can we get to 200 I wonder?

Roy must be busy. If any other dealers are reading - US or UK - drop in your thoughts

I'll give you bigger numbers you....

Ha! Excellent. Infect all your friends DrB, and we'll change the world!

Ah, that's a great post and story Paul - thanks buddy. There's a special significance to the books of your youth I find. So charming, and rich in nostalgia. Post here as much as you like. Your taste in comics is as cool as your taste in cars (great signature line!) P.S. Cor! was great wasn't it!

Can someone help me understand one point please - @Ditch Fahrenheit - Ditch, you may be best placed. I owned 200+ CGC books in my time. They were the first and second generation holders. Not one had NRs that I recall. Of the 10 or so I kept, I can't make NRs appear on any of them by depressing the cases so the plastics touch. Is the latest 'crystal clear' case (the 3rd generation?) the only one to have the rings? Is the phenomenon due to the new case or not? Anyone?

How did you know about.....? There's been a lot of speculation but no one knows the order. I doubt it would make a difference either way. In my font variant thread we see books with multiple cent fonts. Add in the pence versions and there are in some cases - e.g. Rawhide Kid 17 - four or five different 'versions' of the same 'first printing' book vying for the title of first printing (or first off the press to be more accurate). All good fun.
