Is this a CGC book? Label looks strange..

[newshane]

has a "CGCgroup World" logo in the upper left corner of the slab. Has a nine-digit certification number whereas all my other CGC books (even the older red label ones) have a 10-digit code.

 

Have I been duped? Or is this just a label I've never seen?

 

Thanks for your help.

You sure the label doesn't read CGG?

it's actually CGG, or Comics Grading Group or some nonsense. it's the name that Patterson dreamed up in a fit of brilliance before CGC gave him a cease and desist letter and then he switched to PGX.

 

they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but i am thinking it was just obfuscation and ripping people off

"See, they're McDonald's... I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds."

So it's basically a PGX book?

 

I'd search the CGC database for verification but the database is "currently unavailable."

[font:Book Antiqua]I think you have something like this...

and yes.. Its PGX[/font]

I was afraid of that, but wanted verification.

 

This is not a case of me being a noob. This is a case of being lied to by an online auctioneer. Said one thing...when I got the package...something else altogether.

 

Thanks for your help.

Well hopefully you can open a claim if this was on eBay and get refunded or if you paid via credit card you can still do a chargeback.

[font:Book Antiqua]If I am selling, YES, they are like CGC, even better...

If I am buying... well... sorry I have a phone call,

A PGX book is worthless to me.

 

I'm taking the proper steps to resolve the matter. Thanks again.

Maybe this should be CGC's new catch phrase!

hey happened to me once on a fantastic four #6 a few years back before when I was looking to buy my first slab ever. Guy said it was cgc but it arrived with the CGGroup label. I kept the book because it looked decent and I got a pretty good price on it.

NICE! Coming to America. The only Arsenio Hall appearance that I could stomach

Oh man...I totally forgot about that lunk-headed move.

You probably also forgot the first name after CGG was actually PGA.

It didn't take long before PGA became PGX.

 

It's almost as if there was just one guy who said, "Hey! Anybody can grade and slab a book, why not me?"

Then it's almost as if that same guy knew nothing about trademarks or marketing whatsoever.

Surely that's not a completely accurate assessment of the situation.
