    I actually disagree. I think re-holdered books will be scrutinized more aggressively by buyers. I think buyers will finally be more discerning when it comes to buying a book based just on grade. Actually look at the book you’re buying, ya know? Have your OWN grading system that you can apply to the book. 
     

    of course books with tattoos, coupons, etc, I think those will require an investigation if they’re in the new label. 
     

    Also, this won’t have any impact whatsoever on modern books tbh. This is more of an issue for bronze, silver and golden age. 
     

    And further? I think we’ll see a policy change at CGC where re-hollering is now a new grading (which is what it should have always been). 
     

    Last, I genuinely could see CBCS getting a bit of a boost because of this. 

    I hope you are correct in CGC addressing their reholder process.

    CGC has to come up with a way to keep the inner well and label attached to one another.  If CGC heat seal/sonic weld the label and inner well together then this scam never happens. CBCS used to sonic weld their label to their inner well. With CBCS's cases being the best on the market for protection, clarity and security they don't need to do that anymore but CGC should absolutely adopt that solution. 

    What are the chances CGC changes their label/inner well construction vs. their reholder process?  It might be easier to just change the construction. Probably higher upfront costs but no impact to TATs etc.

  4. I am trying to get the grades to my submission that just shipped but I'm getting this error message...

    Details not found. If you've entered a valid submission number, details will be available when the submission is at the "Scheduled for Grading" status.

    Any idea when this will be resolved?
