Certified Collectibles Group (CCG) Acquires Classics Incorporated 3 3

CGC just paid to outsource resto check.

 

So it did not buy the pressing services?

 

Quite.

 

It's deja vu all over again.

 

And it stank last time.

Just speculating.

I really don't know what to think.I'm at a loss for words.

This acquisition strengthens CCG’s commitment to promoting the comic collecting hobby and enhancing the collecting experience by offering a streamlined submission experience and a suite of services that is a win/win for both collectors and dealers. Customers who wish to send books to Classics Incorporated will be able to have them transfer directly to CGC for grading

CVA obviously pushed CGC to this point (as I suggested in the CVA thread). Why would CGC allow others to make $$ off of their hard work?

 

The question we need to be asking is if CGC secretly had a hand in the whole CVA "experiment". Thus setting CGC up for an "easier" transition to making books prettier. Does the CVA debacle soften the blow of this announcment from CGC?

Find them. Use them.

CGC will now offer restoration services then the books go straight to slabbing. That's what I picked up from the link. Time to dump some graded books

This thread will be 100 pages long by Sunday.

I'm starting to get a real doomsday vibe; the bunker won't be finished til april, but I'm starting in on the butterfingers now.

Could this have HUGE ramifications for the whole comic book industry? Or am I over dramatizing this in my head?

This has nothing to do with CVA...and everything to do with PCS.

 

And attempt #3 to get us to swallow it.

I wish both CGC and Classics would come on board and let us know exactly what is going on so all this speculation would be put to rest.

Restoration removal

[blazingbob]

Not sure what is going to happen to Classic's joint business with Worldwide. I'm guessing that this is now terminated?

What speculation?

 

There is no speculation.

 

There's a clear-as-crystal announcement from CGC.

Nick, half the members here already swallowed it to the sack. The PGM for instance, "can I press this", "you should press that". I still collect for fun, but half the boards are flippers. CGC is smart to grab that cash, their reputation is already krap being turnaround times are 6 mos. and counting.
