Well one thing I care about. I see a WORD under the 9.9 - the word says "Mint" - but it looks like a new label? Did I miss an entore thread on new labels are putting word grades back?????

[joe_collector]

Only if it's MINT and therefore a positive selling point?

[the_Greatest]

" We start all of our auctions with low prices, and no reserve" .........OK?

You must have missed the thread somewhere. 9.9 has the word mint printed under it. 10.0 has the words Gem Mint printed under it. These are the only grades that alpha wording with them, plus they are in gold letters.

Yes, I missed that thread but you know? It REALLY ticks me off. CGC claims they are not trying to manipulate the market but this kind of thing IS Market Manipulation. And it sucketh royally.

 

Either put the freaking WORDS under EVERY grade or under NONE. But CGC - don't sit there and claim you are pure and then pull this dirty crapola!

[PovertyRow]

The more I think about it the more angry I get! Put all the freaking WORDS back!!!!!!!!!!

And where did they proclaim to be PURE? CGC is all about dealer relations, and getting rid of nasty Near Mint and Very Fine grades, while promoting MINT and GEM MINT is good for business.

i find the combination of the words MINT and the gold lettering to be quite hypnotic, seductive even

I've already thought of that and I would have already if it were not for the fact that I've shaken it to about an 8.0 at this point and probably did my worst to it when I was using it as a soup tray when eating my New England clam chowder and spilled it...if that wasn't bad enough, you wouldn't believe what came "bouncing" out of the bowl...needless to say, the clams werent the only rubbery substance to be found within...
