  1. Hi Maribeth, Thank you for your reply, and noted. I see others asking about "over-size slabs for tallboy cards" such as 1969-70 Topps and 1970-71 Topps, and perhaps CGC will think about this as a new product for the future. However, WHO makes current decisions about Registry card sets? As you know, I am a new collector of CSG/CGC graded cards after having collected CGC graded comics for rather longer. I completely accept that I am a novice, but I am trying to learn. I keep coming across decisions that (to me at least) make no sense, such as the recent two I have raised: 1. NBA season MVPs without a slot in the Registry (and you told me that this extends beyond basketball to other sports too). I think this is an OBVIOUS reason for inclusion in the Registry, and the decision to exclude the five players I have requested should be reviewed. 2. The 75th Anniversary team represents the best 76 players in the history of the BAA/NBA, yet there are only 62 slots in the Registry (you have told me why). As I said, I think that this set is an excellent set for all NBA collectors to collect into, yet currently only (often expensive to acquire) Rookie Cards are included in the set. WHO decided that? I'm sure there is a reason for the decision. Can we have a different (a second) 75th Anniversary Set with slots for ALL cards from the 76 selected players. I'm sure all collectors (customers) would enjoy that set. Certainly I would. If decisions like these seem incorrect, to whom can a paying member appeal? Regards Stephen
  2. I noticed today an established "NBA 75th Anniversary Team" card set in the CGC Registry. I'm really pleased to see this, though I noticed it only has 62 players in the set (when the 75th Anniversary Team was of 76 players; the 50 players selected for the 50th Anniversary, plus 26 new/more recent ones including 11 current players). I also believe that ANY graded card featuring any one of those 76 players should be admissible into this set; it should be set for EVERYONE to collect in. If this is indeed the intention, do we simply request the addition of cards that we wish to see added in the normal way? Regards Stephwn
  3. Hi Ryan, Thank you for your reply, BUT I just checked. It is still NOT showing 10 Pristine. Please review again, and advise. Regards Stephen
  4. Dear Ryan, I have just found a second card in my inventory (#1018353042), which was graded "Pristine 10" by CSG, but only shows as "CGC Gem Mint 10" in the Registry. Please correct the Registry listing and confirm. Regards Stephen
  5. Thank you for your prompt attention. Appreciated.
  6. I am new to collecting sports cards. I noticed that some cards show an "RC / Rookie Card" logo on them. I had some NBA cards so logo'd, but CGC advised that (and I quote): "Rookie Cards are the first card in a base set with the RC logo on the card. Insert and parallels, regardless of the RC logo, are not eligible for rookie sets" (underlining is mine for emphasis). I have read around the internet, and there seems to be some debate as to the PRECISE definition of a Rookie Card. I know I can look in the Registry "Rookie Player Sets", but there SO MANY players, sets, and cards that are not even listed yet. Please can someone advise me of a simple way to determine HOW I know whether a card is a Rookie Card is eligible for the CGC Registry, or not.
  7. I have a card (#1020343347), which was graded "Pristine 10" by CSG, but only shows as "CGC Gem Mint 10" in the Registry. I looked at https://www.cgccards.com/card-grading/grading-scale/ for help, and it suggests nothing other than it should show as "CGC Pristine 10". Please advise. Thank you.
  8. Please can you add CGC Card sets (basketball) for the following: Shane Battier 2012-13 Panini Contenders Substantial Signatures Contenders Thank you, Stephen
  9. I am SO happy to be featured in Letter Hacks, TWDD #67, with @BladeTX and @Crops068. Thanks guys for seeding the idea to become a tiny, but official, part of the TWD universe. See you in January 2024! Stephen
  10. Hi Lyndsey, I am a new collector of CGC (CSG) cards. My interest is in graded basketball cards. I have made a few requests for sets to be added via the links from the CSG/now CGC Cards website, but cannot see than any of these have been added yet. Do I need to do anything else, aside from being patient? Kind regards Stephen
  11. I'm really happy with my seven Best Set awards - thank you, CGC. My target remains to win a Best Presented Set award (or Best Set - Modern Age award) for my Walking Dead set https://comics.www.collectors-society.com/registry/comics/PeopleSetDetail.aspx?PeopleSetID=110228 I'd welcome any feedback (from anyone) on things I might do to bring it into contention :-) Thank you.
  12. Good luck to everyone competing in this year's CGC Awards. I have achieved 18 Best Set Awards over the years, and from what I can see, I might win another 7 this year = 25. I REALLY like the CGC Awards, and long may they continue. Again, good luck everyone :-)
  13. And so, TWD fans, it is two weeks today until the start of the final run of our favourite TV series... Who will live, who will die? No-one knows. When its all done (on 20 November), we'll have watched 177 episodes, in 11 seasons, over 13 years. And spent $/£ 000's on the comics. It has all been just so great. I hope we'll find some way to keep this thread alive and active... For now, let's look forward to the final eight episodes. Best wishes all Stephen

  15. When I look at my Registry "Comic Set Manager, my sets appear in an apparently random order. Is it possible to re-order my sets in this view (perhaps A-Z)? Thank you in anticipation of a "wise one" being able to help me :-) Regards Stephen
