Comic Grading Company: 60 Day Grading

57 posts in this topic

Sheesh. I find some occasional typos in some works I've published, but generally speaking, I'd like to think each article is 98-99% error free. This site is riddled with problems. Maybe the head librarian could provide some added guidance as a copy editor? If so little care goes into the details of the language you use to communicate to your customers, how much attention to detail goes into the grading?

 

doh!

Maybe they're French Canadian?

 

If we were talking about an informal post on a message board, no questions asked. However, when it comes to business, this organization chose to market itself to English speaking clients. It behooves them (if they're actually looking to be taken seriously by that demographic) to present themselves accordingly. If their English isn't up to par, then they really need to hire someone who can translate and/or copy edit their site.

 

Most members here know I don't get too "up in arms" terribly often, but when this business mentions the CBCA (of which I am a part) as an indirect means of creating some sense of credibility, I do tend to take it a little more personal.

I absolutely agree with this statement. I'm not a member of CBCA, but I am a member of other professional organizations, and I feel that the point of being a member is to lend credibility to the organization. And if someone is being less-professional, it reflects poorly on the organization.

Out of curiousity, I have been looking into this, Forrest. I am not sure who this person is.

Oh, I know you hang out over there ;)

 

I'm not sure if the use is technically against organizational by-laws and guidelines. I'll leave that to the board of directors to discuss (I'm merely an alternate :grin: ); however, I do think the manner in which it is done is *highly* questionable and may prove problematic.

 

@ Mike: Thanks for checking into it. I'm also curious to see who runs it as no personal credentials were offered on the website from what I saw. meh

As I mentioned, The CBCA will look into this, Dave. We can't hang him just yet. ;)

I am opening a new grading service called "Fat Guy in Brooklyn Will Grade Your Comics in 30 Days or Less." I will charge a flat $10 fee per comic and all comics will be encapsulated in old yellow "Robert Bell" bags that I have removed from my personal collection comics over the years and tossed into the corner of my comic room. The pile of old bags is currently six feet tall, so I have enough encapsulation material to last me for a while.

 

lol

 

I enjoyed this almost as much as your pressing service, but the name needs work. How about something like Rays Famous Comic Grading? Original Ray's Comic Grading? Ray's Brooklyn Style Comic Grading?

I think it is the ebay seller grading his own books. They are both in Trail. BC.

That's fantastic,I'm going to grade all my books 9.9s and sell them for a huge profit. :whee:

 

 

 

 

 

 

:boo:

 

Why not just make it an even 10? I see no problem with it.

 

DR.X

 

There's already a company that does that. It's called PGX.

 

Think I'll send them a TMNT #1 1st print,and get back a 3rd print. hm

 

A history lesson for the uninformed. lol I just got " off the phone with my honey"

Their website also references their booth at San Diego Comic Con, where they came away with 150 submissions.

 

Anyone who went remember seeing a booth? (shrug)

 

 

I think they had the booth out back next to the portapotties. :insane:

What is sad is they are probably more legit than PGX ever was. doh!

Does that mean I should include free pizza grease on every graded comic?
