    I feel certain that the "why" will be forthcoming. The CGC leadership couldn't possibly be arrogant enough to adopt such a bizarre position without providing a logical rationale that reflects the best interests of the collecting community.

    The CGC leadership doesn't appear remotely as arrogant as the posters who swear they know what "reflects the best interests of the collecting community".

    If that's what drives CGC, then its a corrupt company. Full stop. 

    What should drive them are profits, credibility, and across the board client service. 

    Worth noting that Heritage has auctioned an unencapsulated Superman within the past 10 years without noting the version. So I guess they're not alone in their choice of business practices.

     

    I've sold 5 or 6 copies in the last twenty years. I never noted the ad page either. Please ad me to the corrupt list.

    this great cover was printed right on time,, the Germans only declared war on the U.S. Dec 8th 1941, one day after Pear Harbor , this issue, with a cover date of Jan 1942, came out just 23 days later

    Actually issue #44 was probably on the stands sometime in November of '43, and issue #43, which also sports a war cover involving the Germans was on the stands a month earlier than that. So those great covers were printed ahead of time, ahead of the Germans declaring war. In fact, these two covers might have even angered Hitler so much that they caused the war.

    a heartwarming story for this a.m.

    the book below is a top-five fave of mine from the whole collection [when i sold the cap run, i kept only this and the cap 9, the first g.a. book i ever grabbed]   i can't tell y'all how many times i've been told "that shouldn't be in a green label," whether verbally or via a post on this board [was graded a looooong time ago].  so, i decided to check to see if under today's standards it would still be Q.   i was told it would likely go blue today.  but, and i can't say i understood why, it wasn't as easy as a reholder, but would have to go thru the grading process.  i'm not a big comic cpr-guy but i figured i'd press it since it wasn't a mere reholder.  the heartwarming part...  it is now a 7.5, and will be in a beautiful ped gold label!!!!   can't wait 'til it's here and i show y'all a pic!!
