No, anyone can look up any number.

Just checked with a random slab on ebay.

Just checked. of course you can verify any book but if you do not have the bare minimum paid account you can not get the notes. at least that is what it tells me when i tried just now.  I can get a buddy to look them up that has a paid account so  no worries

Just checked out your thread.  It is nice to have the notes provided up front.

Can I find 24 other members out there interested in splitting a basic account 25 ways?  :P

I will give CGC credit for at least one thing: Free speech. Try being even slightly negative on their boards about what the er... Distinguished Competition is doing and you'll get a torrent of "Hey, man don't burn your bridge!".

This is how I felt about that:

I consider him Dr. Frankenstein. He (helped) create the monster, but now it's just out of his hands.

 

I think he'll be a much happier fellow now.

Culture starts at the top

After spending time on their forums, and seen his own comments, nothing bodes well where he goes, from the look of things

MCS is a different venue, I feel they have the fortitude to use his strengths, guess time will tell

Maybe he sees the demise of comic encapsulation coming, and figured MCS would be a safe place to be when raw books come back in style.

I think there needs to be a huge scandal for the professional grading thing to go away. Bad business decisions won’t be enough. There are plenty of mismanaged companies that continue to exist(some even thrive). The corporation called the United States of America proves that every day.

Given all the shenanigans we actually know about....I have no doubt there’s a “huge scandal” as yet uncovered.

Yup. He's the worst - I've personally received comments from him when I was contacting CBCS about an issue I was having (books stuck with them for almost 2 years). I didn't expect the literal CEO of the company to tell me it wasn't their problem and to live with it. Haven't used them since.

I'll buy low grade, but any missing pages or coupons is a deal-breaker for me. It's only in recent years that incomplete books have even been traded at all. I personally used to tear them up and throw them out.

So, extrapolating this to its logical conclusion, a book at 5.0 can have a detached centerfold? That's an old school VG/F and you just made me some money.

An externally mint-looking book can have a detached centerfold. So I wonder if any such book is now going to be a 5.0 at best, with no label notes explaining why?

[Steven Valdez]

This will be super-convenient when you go to some guy's house to make an offer on his bulk collection of CGC'd books. 'Hey buddy, it's just going to take me 5 hours hours to go through your collection and check the online notes for them all. I hope you didn't have other plans for today.'

Seems ready-made for the seller who was taping all those GA consignment books.

When they mention “prominent” members, I immediately think of their shenanigans

They actually said 'prominent COLLECTORS' when it's obviously not a single collector who wants this at all.

That's disappointing to hear. 

I know people who have worked for him and they've always said really positive things.

So is proactive disclosure the standard going forward?

Yes. And it's a good thing all dealers and sellers are honest, because it would be dreadful if they weren't.
