CGG (not CGC) holder professionally tested PLASTIC NOT ARCHIVAL!!!

[deathlok]

wait.... the test was done on CGG? I was talking about CGC.

Im not worried about CGG. From all the other horror stories Ive heard I wont be buying a CGG slabbed book.

 

But CGCs well is a serious concern to most of us.

 

What part of my post did you not understand

 

the part where he had to read. Apparently that troubles some people on this board.

I remember with my PVC card sheet holders that they give off a distinctive smell. Can anyone break open one of their CGG's and smell the inner sleeve? It is very distinctive.

kev,

 

what he is trying to say is that the report does not say where the two unidentified plastic samples originated from. They could have CGG, CGC, or 3PG's inner wells. Or for that matter they could have been from any other source. While the report's authenticity is not in question the actual samples used is.

PVC does give off a distinctive odor. Another site I reviewed re: PVC mentioned that the odor you smell when you buy a new car is the smell of PVC.

But I like the new car smell.

Maybe that was part of their strategy. Afterall....everyone loves that new car smell .....

it was my understanding that CGC was in a hurry to get going in business. They had their business plan, Borock etc on deck...all they needed was a product/case. AND, as it goes, testing was taking a long time and they settled on the current materials. I had assumed that they would replace the slabs with true archival materials after a few years. I still hope so. But this is not 'news'. We have all known this...It needs to be continually talked about and CGC MUST reinvent their slabs.

 

Now that Ive actually bought a few slabbed books, I am very concerned!

 

Our interior well has ALWAYS been made of Barex, these guys are talking about CGG We would never use PVC!

 

never mind!

seriously though, there were issues with CGCs materials too. Were still not talking about totally inert plastics.

Grade with CGG and get the new car smell ABSOLUTELY free!!!

 

Now, that's a slogan!!

Which is why I mentioned again, where the samples came from. The lab analyzes samples, they don't crack slabs and describe in detail where the plastic came from.

 

I believe the source when they say they cracked a CGG slab and sent the inner well plastic in for analysis, but as I said before if you choose not to believe my source then send a CGG inner well in for analysis and see whether or not it confirms this lab's findings.

Thanks for the clarification, deathlok! Kev, it's ok....really....it is...

I understand you trust your source on this. However you are asking staunch CGG supporters to trust your unidentified source. I doubt anyone here is going to spend that kind of money to verify the reports results. It just not worth it to anyone else except CGC in order to obtain evidence to support cause for a lawsuit.

[sterlingcomics]

And I really don't like CGG....but like Bassman and others, I'm trying to look at things objectively--we all benefit from competition. Now, if this was a video tape documentary....

can i borrow $800 for the analysis?

[Mushroom]

I feel like I have been smoking crack reading this this thread. What does analysis of CGG's inner well have to do with CGC and a law suit?

 

As for the results.....if people want to question the source then go ahead. All I know is that if Kev gives validity to the source then that would be enough for me to get any books I had in a CGG slab out of there. If the source was wrong then what damage was there.....but if the source is right.............

[economo-migration]

could someone just crack open one of their cgg's and smell the damn well?

I've really never considered them for my comic grading needs, and this cements it. I don't doubt the report, just saying that there is no substantal information brought before me that says the materials came from CGG. That's all. Don't read all of this stuff into my statement--it's pretty plain and simple...

surprised no one had done it yet...
