When I see that I know the person selling a comic knows nothing about them. This means they’ll either sell absolute gold for dirt cheap or be selling junk at absurd prices. It’s either great or awful, no in-between.

I’ve been using CBCS over CGC for my personal stuff the last year and change. I just prefer their new cases to CGC. But another thing I’ve noticed is they tend to be a lot better at support and communication.
Case in point, they just emailed me about a submission I made a few weeks ago that they noticed one of the comics was signed on the cover. (Which I totally missed when I was submitting it.) Showed me a picture, asked if I would like to add on the signature verification, and asked who it was signed by.

I know you’ve seen the sellers who take a pic of the back of a bagged and boarded book?!

The internet holds many interesting sellers.

That’s a nice way to put it.
That could be changed from “sellers” to “people” in general…
Hahaha! I like that!

Yes sir. That’s exactly where the bathroom read book comes from.
Think about how many comics you own that may have been in someone’s nasty bathroom.

Still in plastic, unread, HTF 
I’m gonna make sure all the polybagged books I sell are all labeled as “unread” 
So I sent in some books and they were delivered Friday of last week. How long until cbcs marks them as received?
I can look it up but last time I think it took a few weeks.
Edit: they arrived on 12/31, I got the email they had been received on Jan 11th.
If this is real, it’s another HUGE black eye for CGC, with the 2021 UF4 facsimile being labeled as a 2011 first print. Photos are from the Facebook Marketplace listing.

Even if not real, we all know they are overburdened and simply churning out massive amounts of product like potatoes; with more regard to speed & expediency than quality. Who cares if some cow manure, dirt, and mis-grades gets into the final product. We’ll never know about the micro-turds; until it’s obvious when there’s a large turd on your plate right next to your potato.
I’d love to be a fly on the all and see how long the expert grader spends on a Modern book. I’d like to see how long their QC spends reviewing an issue. I don’t think anyone wants to know those answers. I guarantee it’s a lot less than we, the non-expert graders spend revieweing our own books.

According the CGC verification thing that was graded as a facsimile version so that might be fake or they could have put the wrong label in.

CGC was bought by Blackstone. Expect nothing but a definite shit product for sure now… This was the same company going around buying up properties in Austin, TX, outbidding first time buyers who didn’t have the cash on hand, doing last minute bids on houses for 100k over asking price, then 2 weeks later putting the same house up for lease. I didn’t send my comics to CGC prior but I definitely not giving them a dime now.

It’s gotta be a fake! If it truly were a CGC 9.8 there would still be a bunch of color rub on the back.

Label error or fake.
OR……CGC found out and modified their database description to cover their butts…

All 3 companies have significant issues & are incompetent in at least one major area.
All 3 would probably be out of business in a truly competetive environment.
So … good luck to you John Dolymayan and Trust Grading.
I hope you provide a superior product with accurate grading, exceptional customer service & limited mistakes.
You certainly can’t do much worse in those areas than the other 3
