PGX just stepped on an Atom Bomb. A classic tale of deceit, trimming,and woe.

[Illiterati-migration]

Trimmed books in blue holders. Where have we seen that before.

 

Yeah, but I guess we need a "PGX Lynch Mob" thread every once in a while, just to make big CGC investors feel better about all their trimmed slabs.

 

Exactly! I don't get the public outcry against the red-headed stepchild of the grading industry when the REAL villains are right in front of our noses.

 

Stupid people bother me.

[THE_BEYONDER]

Good Grief....

[batman_fan]

Looks like PGX is trying to completely copy CGC's business model!

Actually, it would be interesting to compare the trim jobs onthe PGX books versus Ewerts to see if they are the same or not. Remember, the trimmer has not been identified, unless he/she now resides in a shallow grave in the desert someplace.

How can I say this.......WORST TRIM JOB EVER!

 

 

 

It's looks like the tool of choice was a dull deer antler. Those edges look like the old shag carpet we used to have in the family room. Just awful.

 

At least Jason's point-man made nice neat edges.

Apples and Oranges.

The person that trimmed those Cheerio books should be shot. Talk about hatchet jobs.

 

Ze-

[Red Hook]

No, I think they should be sliced from crotch to eyeball....with a dull deer antler.

[Ze-man]

What was it they did to Mel in Braveheart?

[The Black Hand ®]

Is someone accusing Daniel of actually doing the trimming and submitting?

[Red Hook]

No, but it's within the realm of possibility, don't you think?

[Ze-man]

No, but it's within the realm of possibility, don't you think?

 

If I were him I would opt for being the trimmer. Because I would not want to be known as the guy who missed that trim job.

[Red Hook]

I assume you are referring to THE WORST TRIM JOB EVER©, right?

[codfish]

It would have taken me a bit to catch some of the trimming without the before images but along with the ragged edges here and there I noticed at least one book that you can see a dip in the cut then a gradual return to level then an angle down to the corner..... definitely not of the same skill as Ewert's slashman.

[Red Hook]

Agreed...I have to go back and look but that right edge of the Mickey Mouse book looked like Jennifer Lopez's........

[ComicSupply]

No, but it's within the realm of possibility, don't you think?

 

Yes, I certainly do believe it is. I imagine there are all kinds of secrets and things you can do in your mom's basement.

Garage..he works out of a garage.

[ComicSupply]

Oh, sorry Mom's garage.

so from reading this, PGX goods are tainted?

I was thinking the same thing.

Of course not all. I should, like several incidents in the last half year at CGC, should make everyone question many high grade slabbed books. What this and the Ewert scandal has confirmed for me is that regardless of who graded it the buyer STILL needs to be cautious.

 

Like with raw books you need to be on the lookout for resto and other greed motivated hack jobs. Too many people will take slabbed books at face value and with the systems that CGC and PGX have that carries some degree of risk.

 

In other words be happy with the BOOK most of all. (I am sure there are people here that will honestly tell you that there is likely one or more books they bought slabbed that they were (a little) disappointed with.)
