If there are any active boardies who qualify as "prominent members of the collecting community", now is the time to step forward and state your case!    We promise to be gentle.

Hey Bob can I see that book?

Sure here you go!

Thanks I just have to spend the next few minutes checking up the serial number.  Oh shoot I've already checked too many today and CGC has locked me out from verifying and viewing the notes.  I mean it's only 930am and the con runs all weekend but I guess I'm done buying slabs for the day.

Meanwhile Bob sorry I can't help you till I'm done with this customer, I don't want to take multiple books off the wall as they seem to grow legs and walk away when I can't watch my inventory.

I only have one thing to say to this, even though I don't do business with CGC anymore..........

There’s no way this is an actual thing..

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse. Wow. To be fair I haven’t read through these reply’s yet, and I will when I get time but man this is bad imo. I buy slabs sometimes just to crack them out and Mylar them, putting the label in the back of the board. I would be really mad if I bought something that didn’t denote “incomplete” “effects story” etc just to crack it and find out. I do buy older books with these issues but I’m aware of it when purchasing. This company is going in the wrong direction.

I saw the copy of 180 in person last week.  Had a nice laugh. 
 

 

Just think, if Marvel would've done something like this originally (maybe a silhouette or shadow or something, not an actual cutout), there would be no discourse on whether this or 181 is the true first appearance.

I think it would've created even more hype for 181 if you didn't know what he actually looked like yet

yes yes it is.

 

When the dylan fiasco happened I search about 10 books and after that was unable to verify (as were others).

@Terry JSA took me about 15 searches just now

This is CGC shooting themselves in the foot. Collectors need to be incredibly vocal about this and let CGC know this isn’t something anyone wants. Email them, post your thoughts on it, anything to make them reconsider such a stupid decision. If it’s a great idea then have these “prominent collectors” put their names behind it. I’ll bet you none of them will.

I can't imagine CGC will change anything in a way that favors collectors until there's a tangible decline in submissions.

If this company isn't careful, everyone on Voldy's forum will stop sending books to CGC.

I'll just add to that....the CGC heads  and the lone customer.

And by this logic, CGC could just eliminate the qualified label entirely since you can just check the notes online.

Not just the Qualified label, there would only be a need for one label for all slabs with just the serial number on it- No grade, title, issue #, pq, resto info, signatures, etc as it can all be accessed with a paid membership.

Wonder if we hit the point of making our books more valuable cracked out

At this point, I have no inclination to have or get a graded book unless it's a 5 figure book.  I'll most certainly be keeping my books raw here on out and/or making sure the slab date was pre May 2022.

Maybe you should start a thread about it directing any potential members here.

One of the more common complaints I've been seeing on the boards lately is that books that veteran submitters think are locks for 9.8s are coming back as anything from 9.0s to 9.4s, with no grader's notes. 

[theCapraAegagrus]

If an 'odd' defect cannot be observed by looking at the comic while within the case, it needs to be on the label.
