A "Qualified Label" conspiracy thread to go along with the 15 others.

Is there a Qualified label conspiracy?

 

Yes, there most definitely is. The CU (Comics Underground for the uninitated) has informed me that the Qualified Grade is actually a money laundering scheme simple in execution and brilliant in conception. But shhhhhhhh.... I never said nuttin' no how!

I haven't participated in the other qualified threads... haven't even read them... guess I have missed out on 250+ posts...

 

Rather than reading all of that, I'll reply in this thread which is much shorter...

 

Allow me to quote from some porn I am reading:

 

I didn’t want to go to the party at all, but I had to.  I hate “obligation parties.” I talked my sort-of-boyfriend into going with me. He grumbled a lot about bosses who use their position to fill their guest list (he had one, too) so it was just a jolly couple who arrived at the door to the huge white house.We were greeted by a uniformed servitor who had an unidentifiable accent and no smile. Dan grumbled more, and I got a little snappy. We went into a big room filled with sparkling, chattering people and more food than I’d ever seen in one place. We ate, we drank, we drifted into the corner to observe. What we observed most was her.

 

She didn’t look real. Long, naturally platinum blonde hair. Heart shaped face. Enormous blue eyes. A full, pink mouth. Very fair skin. She was wearing some kind of lacy confection that made her look Old World. A sweet little princess with a full bosom, a tiny waist and long legs. How little a princess was impossible to tell. She could have been anywhere from drinking age to “touch it and go to prison.” Dan and I both shifted position as we were standing to ease the discomfort from our aching crotches. He leaned close to my ear. “Split her with you,” he whispered. I raised my glass to hide the chuckle. I’d finally admitted my desire to have a woman to him, and he took it very well.

 

I am curious as to how this story would affect the price of Qualified copies of Hulk 181 with the new CGC label...

Where's The rest of the story???

Where's The rest of the story???

 

Little Miss Creampuff drifted over to our side of the room. Dan and I shamelessly eavesdropped and learned she was a college sophomore, the niece of our host, and in town for a visit with her aunt and uncle. She also didn’t have a boyfriend. (Dan and I weren’t the only crotches responding to Creampuff. Several men and one or two women were practically drooling on her and asked her all sorts of questions.) She smiled politely, spoke politely and moved off politely as rapidly as possible. Her room rotation eventually put her in front of us, where she began her nice “niece of the host” routine. I grinned at her. “Take a break,” I said. “I don’t want to be here, either. He’s my  boss, so I have to be. But we don’t have to be little puppets all damn night, do we?” She grinned suddenly, and my heart leaped into my throat. Damn, she was beautiful. I heard Dan catch his breath, clear his throat, and adjust his suit jacket. Poor man. He couldn’t hide it. I was in just as much physical pain looking at the Creampuff, but at least my crotch wasn’t trying to leap out of my clothes. Or was it?

 

That's about as far as I can quote under the terms of use for the board...

 

But anyone who knows how to use google can finish the story at their leisure...

Yes, there is most definitely a Qualified label conspiracy, and here it is:

 

The CGC and the Church of the Religious Front in collusion with and working directly for the New World Order and their cause have developed a system to crush the current CGC market. At the present time the consortium is raising the awareness of both the Purple and the Green labels. As the Green and Purple labels make their way into the collective consciousness of the comic collecting community they will also gain acceptability and ultimately desirability. If the plan follows through as designed, both of these types of graded book will unseat the Blue labels as the most desirable graded comic. Therefore, the value of the now very much sought after Blue labels will collapse. In the aftermath of this collapse the consortium will begin to gather all Blue and what is the left of the original Red label slabbed books for near nothing prices.

 

Once all of the plans mentioned above have come to fruition, and the consortium has gathered as many Red and Blue label books as possible, the second part of the master plan will begin.

 

Seven years and one day from the inception of CGC the Anti-Christ will make his presence known to the world. During his first speech to the masses he will decry the value of the Green and Purple label books. This incredible twist will see the value of the Green and Purple label books plummet to near worthlessness. In his second speech to the world community the Anti-Christ will further his attack on CGC graded books by speaking out against Blue label books, thus destroying any hope the last hold outs had of seeing the Blue label rise to its former glory. This turn of events will shock and awe the world. Comic collectors the world over will be left to search for a new means to prove the value and importance of their collections. This fact will drive them to search for the long forgotten Red label books. Unfortunately, the consortium has used the previous several years to gather all of the Red label books and will now have financial control over the entire comic collecting community.

 

First comics, then coins, followed by cards...then the rest of the world.
