I have to disagree on that with you on that because I have seen price differences time and time again on these two companies in the same grade. Why would a CBCS in 9.8 be listed at a different price than a CGC 9.8? I would price CGC and CBCS the same according to past GPA. I could see a concession being made for PGX, but I'd never drop prices between the other two companies. key word .... "auction" or are you stating that voldy shouldn't go to auction head to head with cgc and should both be listed at BIN price? Given the Auction results, I'd still list the CGC at a higher BIN price hoping someone would bite....edit clarify,,,, put the voldy at gpa and cgc at slightly higher Edited May 25, 2018 by ADAMANTIUM clarify.... :) HENRYSPENCER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post seanfingh Posted May 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2018 A lot of the sensationalism sturm and drang is misplaced. Many people have a significant "black/white" issue with legal disputes. If someone filed a lawsuit, they must have really been aggrieved. If someone got sued, they must really have done something wrong. If someone sold their assets, they must really be in trouble. None of these things are necessarily true. Whatever the nature of the contract dispute between Metro and Voldy, only one thing is really certain - Metro felt their best option was to file suit. Possibly settlement discussions broke down, or never got off the ground. Possibly Metro really felt that they were going to lose any opportunity to recover because of the Beckett deal. Possibly, Metro saw the opportunity to use the litigation to get even more favorable terms from the new entity, in light of what they perceived as a breach of contract with the old entity. I feel compelled to continue to try to put a little real life into this thread (and make it clear that all of my speculation is just that) because the shoe banging, pontificating, bloviating, posturing and full blown carnival barking is out of hand. This type of thing happens hundreds of times a day, every day. In construction, tech, health care, personal services, manufacturing, transportation etc. The fact that this one involves comic books does not make the quacking bird any less a duck.

Which is probably why CGC sells a larger percentage of books listed then CBCS, If sellers post up CBCS books at GPA they usually sit and sit (unless they are so rare that people are willing to pay for any copy.

But John, if the Voldy 9.8 would get a grade of 9.6 from CGC under one of their strict grading periods, it probably sells for a comparable if not greater amount in the Voldy slab.

Sean, I can't believe you have presented a completely level headed overview of this. I can only anticipate you will now be the motor home at the end of "Race With the Devil."

Mr.Mcknowitall Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 In Laotian Europe. Or Laotian Canada. Not in Asia. Asia just won't claim them. All the darn maps that are going to have to be done over. Really sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You (and one or two others) have done absolutely nothing in this thread but (feebly attempt to) engage in similar politics of destruction. You've name called, thinly masked vulgarities, openly belittled people and even cheer-led VintageComics as he repeatedly hounded me for my own personal information (no doubt in order to do something similar to what BlowuptheMoon just pulled with Mitch). This style of, *ahem*, debate, only appeals to the lowest common denominator, is typically the final tactic of someone who already knows they've lost, and needless to say the usual suspects have lapped it up with glee as if anything you say will somehow redeem the credibility of your favourite failed company or stop them from feeling worried about all those Voldy slabs in their collection or inventory from potentially losing even more value compared to CGC books. What's even more shocking is the post count or the amount of time some of you posting here have been on these boards. And seriously, this is the best that you can do when someone disagrees with you ? I mean, really ? -J. See, this is a subtle jab even though you have no reason to put something like this out there. Anybody that knows me knows that I don't ever resort to below the belt behavior (not that posting Mitch's job online was) so stop trying to puff your own feathers. What Mitch does is not a secret. It's been openly discussed in the GA forum for years and all it would take would be a little Google time to figure it out. As far as you, YOU are the one that opened the door to people asking what you do for a job when you started trying to defend your WRONG position with a 'if only you knew what I did' attitude. Talk about spin. And if you had nothing to hide you'd be more transparent about what you do. Most are The only fact that has been proven in this entire thread is that literally NOBODY except Mitch has agreed with you (and believe me, that is not really going to help your argument)- not other lawyers, not civilized and respected board members. Nobody. 'nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
