Not true B. Some books do not get damaged in transit, therefore it could not conclusively be said that CGC's slabs are subject to damage 100%. The books are damaged because of being mishandled. You could make the same arguement about mylars and bags. Because the top is opened on one side books fall out and are damaged.

You can put tape over the top of a mylar to prevent that. There is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent a loose book from sliding around within a CGC well.

[deathlok]

but now you are correcting a deficiency in the design of a mylar to correct possible damage. I still don't think that CGC can be found at fault for shipping damage. In the interest of customer satisfaction on the other hand they need to address the damage that can be caused from the book shifting within the well.

From the FAQ:

 

"While CGC is responsible for the care of your books while they're with us, any damage that occurs during shipping to CGC or after the books leave our facility is your responsibility or that of the shipping company with whom you contract. "

Actually that is pretty open-ended, unless there is another section that details a packaging method that insures a solid, stable environemnt for the encased book.

 

I think the bottom line is that most of us know the book CAN shift in the slab and can be damaged by it. Especially when you start getting into the uber-9's, where a small corner ding CAN reduce the "value" by some thousands.

I am very surprised that no big investors have called CGC out on this problem yet.

I definitely see it as a problem that CGC should address. Protection (I thought) was one of the major benefits being sold with the slab... (within reason of course)

It's simple, because investors are buying the label, not the book. Now, if the label got damaged, this would be a completely different story as CGC would be up to their neck in lawsuits.

CGC does offer protection and the book is completely safe inside the well if handled properly.

I have to disagree. On about 10% of my slabs, if the book is tilted, the book will slide to the other end of the well. I wonder how many times a package is turned over during shipping. No amount of packing material can stop gravity. If the inner well had tapered edges like a hard mylar, it would solve this problem.

That is directed at all of you. I actually stopped in to see what opinions you fine people might have consumated on the sale of the book.

 

Oh...by the way...Hello Greg...I hope all is well?

Why do some books have the interior holder holding the book in place? And some don't? I think they should do that for all the books.

Chris;

 

Nice to see you on the boards. A lot of the forum members have been wondering if you finally consumated the purchase of the Spidey #1 for >$100K from JP or was this a non-deal. Sometimes it's hard to tell whether pending deals actually gets completed or not.

Hello Greg

 

No, the Deal went south as Jay became difficult to deal with. I offered to send him $20,000.00 USD as a deposit to allow me 30 days to accomodate the balance as I would have to move some stocks. I also gave him this situation...if I did not complete in 30 days he can keep the book & money and I would right it off but he still refused and was very unreasonable at the end.

Strange because at the start we excitedly discussed lots of business and he stated he had a buyer for the #1 and we would split the difference in commissions then he backed out. Very Difficult Unfortunately as I thought we would do significant dealings. Ohhh Well life moves on. Lots of other great books and sellers to deal with.

That is CRAZY!!!! He must have thought that the book would eventually sell for more and decided to be unreasonable on payment terms in order to keep it. Bummer that you missed out on that.
