    CGC.... come out to PLAYeeeeYAY!!!
  2. Steven Valdez
    Indeed! It's the grown-up collectables that are going to draw the attention.
  3. Steven Valdez
    And that's where the headlines are going to come in.
  4. Steven Valdez
    Immaculate Comics' recent video should be enough to put the fear of god into anyone.
  5. Steven Valdez
    All of those screw-ups are appalling, but this casts doubt on every CGC'd book.
  6. Steven Valdez
    Joke as we may (and I do) but I don't see CGC recovering from this. They're done.
  7. Steven Valdez
    If this tampering can't be done with CBCS cases, those guys are in for a major windfall.
  8. Steven Valdez
    From now on, I'll only be buying single pages in slabs. At least you can see both sides.
  9. Steven Valdez
    It's not something I used to worry about. I thought CGC was at least basically competent and secure.
  10. Steven Valdez
    So.... who's planning on submitting their books for grading or buying any slabbed books in 2024?
  11. Steven Valdez
    Try selling that book now.
  12. Steven Valdez
    Oh, they're going to be on holiday for a long, long time.
  13. Steven Valdez
    The headline from hell: CGC cases are easily tampered with, compromising comics worth as much as tens of thousands of dollars each.
  14. Steven Valdez
    I always just assumed they were breaking them open and discarding them. I don't think that any more as of half an hour ago.
  15. Steven Valdez
    Yes. They may or may not contain the MVS. Just don't apply heat to the case.
  16. Steven Valdez
    So my early Silver Age Marvels might be riddled with clipped coupons and I'd be none the wiser...
  17. Steven Valdez
    Good move, I will do that right now as well.
  18. Steven Valdez
    Dr Rick is a chemist, as I understand it.
  19. Steven Valdez
    He literally shows us how to do it on his video (linked further up the page).
  20. Steven Valdez
    I wonder if Rick's video is going to get a 'cease and desist' from you know whom.
  21. Steven Valdez
    Well, now we all know exactly how to pull of this reholdering scam. So we're officially all suspects.
  22. Steven Valdez
    Absolutely. How does sonic welding work anyway? Not sure what it does. I guess the answer is 'not much' in the case of CGC.
  23. Steven Valdez
    Just watched the Immaculate Comics video... 'The pin just pops right out, it didn't give me any resistance at all.' Oh dear.
  24. Steven Valdez
    Well, that's a crucial bit of news.
