I think in my eBay listings I will now have to add a line about “the comic reflects the given grade and does not appear to be damaged by the encapsulation process”.

When raw books with a “presumed” grade, and looks outstanding to the naked eye gets the same $$$ as an equivalent graded book, the book is about to be closed. And I aint talking about the comic.
This bending damage; as well as the littany of other grievances (like piss poor grades), has soiled their reputation so badly and they’re too stupid or too high on their horse to correct them. For a quasi monopoly to fail, they seriously have to eff up consistently and with high likelihood.
The funny thing is I just watched Mint Hunter video talking about how a bunch of Silver Age keys in 9.8 are now under $1000 and he couldn’t understand why. I don’t leave Youtube comments, but got close to doing so. Not sure how he can be so obtuse as to what’s going on in the hobby with that Mickey Mouse club in sarasota

and CBCS is in lala land not leveraging it. They have a great slab and the grading is strict.
Maybe thats why no one sends in to them b/c submitters won’t get the terrible CGC grading to resell them.

This is what I don’t understand. CGC is pooping the bed repeatedly, and PSA is about to see what they can do, and CBCS just does… nothing?
CGC has better labels and their Signature Series events, and that’s really it for competitive advantage at the moment. The importance of their census is overblown IMO. How accurate is it really after 25 years of cracking/resubmitting anyway?
You’ll still get questions…people don’t read the listing, I find.
