I like the part where it's easy for dealers. "Select the notes you want, and we’ll add it to your next invoice".

I find this quote . "Now we’re making these notes available to you." to be misleading.

 

They've always made those notes available to us.

 

It should read . "Now we’re making these notes available cost prohibitive to you.

Unless I missed it, I gather CGC has not responded at all to these complaints/feedback on this new policy. I notice the boardie who posted that he sent in questions for the the "Ask CGC" forum has not been posted or answered.

 

I find their lack of response to be very concerning and poor business practice. They should at least address the issue with their loyal customer base and provide some rationale for the change in practice.

 

 

I'm sure they'll respond...by deleting this thread.

[Boba]

That would be very bad form

[Davenport]

Did they send the sub-grades (the grades each of the 3+ graders gave)?

This entire thread brings another thread to mind: Some Guys Get All The Breaks (This was waaay before Ewert got busted for trims. )

 

Seller thought book was a weak 8.5 (spine tear) and decided to sell. The grader's notes were 8.0, 8.5, and 8.5. Then after Ewert's miraculous resub the grader's notes were...(drum roll)... 9.2,9.2,9.2.

 

After that crapstorm I seriously doubt individual grades will be on the menu, at any price.

[Transplant]

That would be very bad form

But completely par for the course.

[VintageComics]

I've already heard from several dealers who just got the email. They're not pleased.

 

[Aces]

I wonder what PGX's staff is thinking...do they provide Grader Notes?

Orangutans can write?

[stippy52]

Until they get their act together, I'm done.

I've always been on the fence about slabbed books and still believe that they have their place in the hobby, but I find CGC's "you'll take it and like it" attitude (not just this grader notes situation but the price increases and overall delays in their backlog also.) very disturbing,

I'm just done submitting.

[Marty Mann]

Did you know when PGX Books are consigned to HERITAGE

they either re-submit them to CGC or sell the comic "raw" with

their own grade depending on what makes sense for the comic

in question.

I haven't gotten a response to the e-mail asking that they not sell any notes pertaining to any of my submissions until I determined my legal rights to those notes.

 

Nice Richard. I like it.

Nice Job!! Just got the spam email for this myself.

[TheAvenger80]

Just got the email. BOGUS IMHO. You pay for the grading service, and now you have to pay an additional fee to see why it was given the grade? Nickel and dimin' is right.

I thought CGC was above such disingenuous corporate speak, spinning a price hike as beneficial to their customers.

[RockMyAmadeus]

That would be very bad form

 

[RockMyAmadeus]

I got an e-mail response to my request for all the notes on every book I submitted during the calendar year 2011. They said they wouldn't do it, but I could pay.

 

I haven't gotten a response to the e-mail asking that they not sell any notes pertaining to any of my submissions until I determined my legal rights to those notes.
