Petition to get eBay to have a Graded Comics Section http://www.gopetition.com/online/7497.html

[the blob]

put "cgc" in your search?

 

only half will come up "cgc it" or "cgc quality" or "cgg pgx cgc"

 

and those jokers will probably list in the graded section anyway.

 

as a mainly raw seller (though perhaps nearly as many $ coming from slabs), i don't like it one bit. i shall not sign your petition!

[Crackandpresstoan11]

I would rather see books broken down by publisher.

[Timulty]

Yeah, that is a GOOD IDEA!!!

[RS]

I like the idea if you do a search for a book you could choose graded or non graded. They do it for sports cards.

The funny thing is I was talking to a friend last night about Ebay having a graded comics section. I'll sign the petition

[sterlingcomics]

Didn't we do this a year or so ago? Doesn't look like they listened to us then.

[Davenport]

We, the undersigned, want eBay to add a graded comics Category. They have one for sports cards, graded and non graded. We need that for comics too.

 

Shouldn't the petition say a "Professionally Graded" or a "Encapsulated" category. Assuming that's what you're after.

 

It reads like all comics are considered "non graded" if they haven't been through a Pro service. And even at the pro level grades are still a subjective unguaranteed opinion about condition.

I've been simply searching by "CGC" for years. By filtering out books that don't interest me, like Spider-Man and X-men, I cut the list of responses in half.

Already there; an advantage of being focused only on comics.

Say hobo, are you running that site? Could you pass the word that when you click on Platinum Age (1), it shows no comics for auction?

[SarcasmGuy-migration]

Let's just go ahead and spell it all out...

 

"We, the undersigned, want eBay to add a graded comics Category for 'professionally' graded comic books so that those of us grading and slabbing books in our garage can stop getting in trouble for listing our books as 'NOT CGC' and faking out people who are looking for true CGC books as opposed to our CGC imitations that come in a variety of CGG, PGA, or PGX slabs."

[Hobo]

I'm part of the team running it and I still am trying to figure out why it shows a "1" under Plat. Age.

[Timulty]

Well, if it goes off a database, then you can query for the field that marks it as platinum age and delete or edit the record.

[whomerjay]

As a few have said, you can do this yourself with a filtered search, plus you won't denigrate the raw collectors/dealers in the process by systematically marginalizing their books.

we wouldn't have to call for this if people stopped using "cgc ready" or "cgc?" or who knows how many ways of saying it. How are we supposed to filter our searches? And why do we have to do it when people know better?

 

I'm not always in search of graded books, but when I put "cgc" in my search function, I have every right to get only CGC graded books as a function of that search.

[jediknight]

How about we petition ebay to jack off all those nerds who list the cgc ready crapp. I type in cgc and hit search and get between 3,000 and 6,000 hits of which about a fraction are really cgc graded.
