JRJR is at least better than Greg Land. That is admittedly a low bar to jump over.
Thereās certain artists who, when they want to be, can be exceptional.
And when they donāt want to try, they can turn out an absolute wreck.
JRJr & Chaykin come to mind as has been posted.
Chaykin in particular just doesnāt give a rats ass for his commissions.
Itās like they just donāt care; they donāt take pride in every piece they turn out is something that the recipient can be proud of based on what was paid.
I donāt understand it; but Iāve never been a Half-Ass Harry in anything Iāve attempted to do or achieve
Iād much rather look at Lands artwork than JRJRās Micheline men.
I donāt even know how this happened, but an interior piece of the plastic case broke off inside and is now loose inside the case:
The eBay sellerās photos show no broken plastic shards inside. The seller also packaged with a metric f#ā¬Ā£-ton of cardboard:
No idea how this could have happened. Oh well, itās a 9.0 that I was probably going to crack out of the case anyway.
It was likely always thereā¦floating aroundā¦shake the case a bit, pic at the right angle and lightingā¦can hide stuff like that.
Likely doesnāt hurt the book unless you plan on tossing it around.
Sucks though. Quality controlā¦am I right @ToddW ?
Shocking with the shards.
CGC has been so incredibly quality conscious; particularly in the last 2 - 3 years.
And their packaging is bullet proof.
I canāt understand how possibly a plastic shard got passed their QC. Their QC is quite frankly the best Iāve ever seen in any industry
When they start taking a shard of responsibility for the product they deliver to customers, just a shard; it will be a cold day in hell.
They just donāt give a shyt. Iād love to get that Marketing Managerā¦ whatever the heck her name isā¦ and instead of everyone tossing softball questions; Iād blast away as to why my dashboard has more returns than submissions. Itās flat out unacceptable
I blast them when necessary. They have some serious issues all around. I also take into consideration that people are a lot more likely to complain when they have an issue than praise a company when they do a good job.
My favorite is when I have to return a damaged slab that was already returned for being damaged. So yea - broken slab once, returned, broken slab yet again, returned yet again. Hopefully one day Iāll get to 3 returns on one book. It will be a new record
Itās finally here.
Now to see if my TMNT 1 and Transformers UK books fall within the size limit criteriaā¦
Wallet is about to take another hitā¦
Got my street fighter cammy variant graded by PGX east, was fast and easy but they put the wrong label on top. Since its for my personal collection iām just going to keep it like that since I canāt be bothered to re-submit
dang that is some r. crumb-level thigh art
Props to you for the shout-out of an underground comix creator!
I truly hate this company. Every time they have a new update to their policies it gets worse and worse.
I see no problem here. If you canāt return an item within 2 weeks, you got issuesā¦
The issue is itās from āreceiptā now. Vs before it was from delivered date. They are now including the time it takes for delivery in those 14 days. Also refusing to fix newton rings when it was covered before.
CGC been watching wotc/hasbro fu$ā up mtg and said hold my beer.
