I have seen the first 2. I allow a ton of stuff to be posted on this forum. I draw the line on these 3 things. I don't think that is too much to ask. This thread is still here. Carry on with it, and keep the 3 things I mentioned in mind before posting. I absolutely agree with these guidelines Links allow cross contamination, and its a prudent policy BS Damutantman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything in this thread about your competitor is bashing them and saying how crappy they are. These posts are akin to someone coming on a Chevy forum and saying Ford sucks. Get a little thicker skin. Yea, there is plenty of insulting of the people on the other forum and even a grade school "small genitals" comment, you're right. But.. there's a high level of insecurity here when it comes to competition, well beyond simply posting pictures of a competitor's label. Notice how people have to edit the names of the companies by replacing letters with asterisks? It's all very strange. Maybe **C just feels vulnerable with all the major embarrassments they've suffered in the news lately. Nic8612 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckett carries a negative cachet for a solid majority buyers and sellers compared to PSA. About 15 years ago for short time Becket was on top in terms of perception then they put on clinic of what not to do and how to dilute a brand. Not that PSA is any great shakes but they are firmly #1 and SGC and Beckett are niche so too is CGC card grading. PSA to card what CGC currently is to Comics, but things can change and I sure hope they do. Do people still call CGC "the PGX of card grading"? I know they were for quite a while.

This disrupts the natural conversations in threads. I am going to put this one and only warning right here, that you are walking on this ice. I want it to stop right now, or I will make it stop. THE PHILOSOPHY USED TO MODERATE THESE BOARDS CGC encourages free thinking and open discussion of the comic book collecting hobby among users of the Boards, including constructive criticism. CGC values its members and Boards users as part of a joint effort to protect and improve the collectibles market. Nonetheless, while diverse views and alternative perspectives are welcome here, the Boards are not the place for negative or persistent agendas against other users or CGC’s services.
