Is that one of Roger's old Terry Toons in front of you? I'd like to see a sped up video of this shot being set up.

I'm an "Under the Influencer"

When CGC makes their next BS statement concerning this fiasco (maybe I should've said 'if'), I wonder if they'll address their prolonged silence.

If....When???

Whoo boy, what a ride! So, I was basically offline from around 8/5 until this past Tuesday, and blissfully unaware of all of the goings on.

Four days later, I am now, as of 2:47PM est on Friday August 19th, the year of our lord 2022, caught up on this 188 page thread. Good gravy.

First of all, excellent work, boardies. This thread has had it all. I've laughed, I've cried, I've cheered, I've booed. Riveting stuff.

Second of all, none of this is surprising, but all of it is disappointing. I think we've all seen the direction CGC has been heading in for some time now. If the people that made the books, and the people that graded the books, and the people that flogged the books, and the people who originally published the books used in the frankensteining, all agree that nothing is wrong, then the rest of us don't have a prayer of seeing any kind of meaningful response. As I've said in the past, it really seems like an overwhelming majority of the people who make their money selling the adventures of do-gooders, never actually read the stories, or learned anything from them. 

This is settled, as far as everyone involved is concerned. This thread will eventually dry up (seems to be heading that way anyway), and the cries on social media will die down, and it will all be over. And CGC will continue their descent into the realm of QVC hucksters. 

Just another circle jerk.

Anyone what to give an over/under when this will hit 500 pages? 😂

[CAHokie]

Just now catching up on this and it’s fascinating. CGC has always been about credibility and this makes it look like one of those print at home Certificate of Authenticities.

I'm tempted, after that clever fake apology post, to make my own - fake -"this is what CGC really thinks and would really like to say to you" post.  

But I kind of like it here and don't especially want to get banned.

I don't know why I thought they would put out a new statement today.  It would have been a perfect day,.C2E2 and Boston is in the rear view mirror, the Marvel reminder email has settled.  This past Friday would have been the perfect time for the communications department to send out the press release stating essentially "We screwed up"  But I guess that is not ever coming.

Daddy is that you? I’ve taken the blood sample thing I was advised by your attorneys to participate in since they’re  were so many complainants. My teeth samples should have cleared me for inheritance but I’m thinking too early for a death knell/dirge.

I only collect golden,  silver and bronze age comics.  That Black Flag acetate is trash.  Will be worthless soon if not last week.
