I don’t see very much info in this from big time collectibles.. I was kinda interested in this… I was thinking it’s a comic book store exclusive cover and cgc is just doing the grading? Am I wrong?

Why bother? Just enroll them in the System and save the extra money to buy more comics!

Yes. It's a partnership.

Wait…….Superman dies?

They are printing 1,000 copies, all of which will be sent to CGC. CGC will pre-screen 300 9.8s and destroy the rest.  How does their leadership still have their jobs?

Nothing makes you want to collect comics like a good book burning.

[jcjames]

So CGC is actively involved in working (for hire) for a submitter to intentionally reduce the number of copies of raw books in existence to increase the value of the remaining CGC-graded books - and they're doing this all under the guise of being "third-party graders"?

Only on the inside.

I know I said previously that CGC was becoming QVC, but now I think they're heading in more of a Franklin Mint direction. From signature series, to acetate covers, to stuff like this, they're clearly more interested in marketing "collectible" junk than they are maintaining any sort of standard as a third party grading company. It's a sad decline.

And I wouldn't include SS in this rant, that's a legit and valuable service.

Of course it is.  To them.

Suuuure it is.

I'm thinking here primarily about how CGC ramped up the in-house signings, and continue to pour them on, while TAT's continue to be an issue. It's like they were digging a hole for themselves, and them dumped another truckload of dirt into it. Witnessing sigs for SS is one thing, and I've learned to live with it. Creating your own in-house signings with special labels, is another thing altogether. 

Also, if my post qualified as a "rant", you must travel in some extremely reserved circles!

[shadroch]

Who doesn't want a rainbow signature on a special label? And to have it cerified as one of only a couple of hundred?  Buy now, your grandchildren will thank you for it.
