Questions for CGC and the Liason Committee

AND my Purple Z28 Camero

Do you wear wife-beaters too?

 

BTW, it's "Camaro".

 

What is it with Lawyers and grammer checking lately

 

No wife-beaters for me, , but maybe that would complete the tri-fecta and solidify my coolness.

The members of the CGC Liason committee are starting this thread so that all members will have an opportunity to post questions or topics that they would like to raise in our weekly call with Steve Borock.

 

Can one of our esteemed Liason Comittee members ask Steve if it would be possible for submitters to have access their invoices on-line when they submit through a 3rd-party?

 

CS members have access to their "personal" invoices submitted through their CS accounts, but other than the 3 free Xpress submittals you get when you sign up/renew, I imagine most submitters take advantage of the discount they get when submitting through 3rd parties, like qualitycomix.com. Unfortunately, when you do that, you can't look up your invoices on-line so you have to call CGC for status information, grades, etc.,. Having access to this information on-line would certainly reduce the number of calls CGC receives with such inquiries...which I imagine takes up a good bit of time for the admin/support staff.

I already know the answer to this because I asked it a while ago. The answer is no.

 

There is a plan in the works for CS members though, because they're kind of getting the shaft right now with their discount vs. the discount that they get from submitting through a third party.

CS members get a discount, that's news to me? It sucks though and it doesn't make any sense to submit anything other than the 3 freebies using my CS account when I can save 20% submitting through a 3rd party. Unfortunately, when I do go through a 3rd party that forces me to have to call (bug) CGC to find out where my order's at.

CS members get a 10% discount. They always have. I believe it's stated right there in your paperwork when you get your signup packet.

No wonder it went unnoticed...

I have a serious question...did the Forum strike criteria and associated suspension change?

 

Isn't it still at strike #1 you are suspended for a week?

i have a question about 9.8 to 10.0 grading

 

i'm wondering how cgc differentiates between what makes a book 9.8 to a 10.0. I assume that books that grade the near mint 9.8 all exhibit some sort of standard manufacturing "flaw" of some sort, whereas the 9.9 and the 10.0 grades do not have that?

 

i'm just wondering how the people at cgc figure a book is 9.8 and not 9.9 or 10.0

 

one other question. say i purchase a 9.9 or 10.0 book and crack it open (say of Signature Series). would the mere handling of the book to put it into the bag and board downgrade the book from the "mint"/"gem mint" to "near mint"?

Do you want to know whats in the Colonel's secret recipe too? How about the secret ingredient in Coca-Cola? Or maybe who shot Kennedy? Or where Jimmy hoffa is buried?

it's a little known fact that both Kennedy and Hoffa were killed because they discovered that the secret ingredient in Coca-Cola is also in the Colonel's secret recipe.

 

i should be having a horrible accident any second now...but you heard it here!

Only if you're me and you make a quite inoffensive, but slightly amusing, joke.

 

Then you get slammed for a week.

 

If, however, you create a shill, use it in a flame war to make an accusation and worsen the situation, then blame the family goldfish...you're cool to stay around.
