A new fourth party grading system....CVA Comics

[AnkurJ]

They set up for the first time at NYCC. The fourth party approval business started with coins a few years ago and has really made a market for certain coins. I had expected this to start with comics as CGC is not perfect. Im sure they will see a great deal of resistance to start, but I think time will tell if they are able to make a mark for themselves on the market.

 

I imagine this will pertain mostly to Golden, silver and some bronze age collectors.

Check out this thread, where the CVA coming-out party has already been in full bloom -- to say there has been a little bit of resistance so far has would be an understatement.

Are they #4 because the Dr. Balls stamp of approval is third? I've lost track.

I think it will be an epic fail.I don't need anybody telling me whether a book I buy presents well or not.

Well CGC is considered third party grading, so this would be fourth party.

And I dont think their service only states that a book is eye appealing it tells you that a book is properly graded.

 

I haven't followed the evolution of CGC, but have they been known to overgrade certain books/series?

So essentially one would pay money to get a subjective opinion as to the validity of a previously given subjective opinion?

 

Sounds.....

That's just all kinds of wrong.

Watch out.

 

If you start sentences with "Hey Rocky," we're gonna start callin' you Bullwinkle instead of Oakland.

I would love to sell something to RMA and see if the entire paypal process and shipping information is also provided using emoticons and hieroglyphics.

Does it really need to be seeings that there's another thread a few spots down that has just under 1000 posts spanning over a week?
