CGC vs CBCS vs PGX vs PSA

CGC increased the prices again.

CGC Announces Price and Policy Changes | CGC (cgccomics.com)

Smart move by CGC to remove the 25 book minimum for prescreen service. They’ve likely been getting wayyyyy less 25 book prescreen submissions full of nonsense books since they’re no longer sellable for a profit. This means sellers are more selective about which books to submit. Removing the 25 book minimum will get those sellers to submit more frequently.

I bet that Selling Superman, Fantast pedigree fellow is happy he got all that stuff graded already. :wink:

CBCS is significantly cheaper on expensive books now also. $70 vs $150 (up to 4k anyway). $100 for 4k up.

I’d rather take a 9.6 because otherwise the $9 is a total loss.

You can sell a 9.6 and likely make back more than the $25 invested. As long as you’re not sending in drek.

Basically you will get that extra $14 invested and then some versus just waisting $9.

When I try to search for PGX books on eBay, it keeps changing my search to ā€œCGCā€ā€¦

There’s definitely money to be made on modern graded books 9.6 and under.

Ok. Need to find out if this is really just bad JRJR art or CGC pooped the bed


It’s really bad art. It became a fun meme in the comic Facebook groups after the guy who got it shared it.

I can’t even comment on this. The poor owner. He/She probably paid alot for a sketch and this is what was delivered? My gosh.

There’s alittle bit of buyer’s beware necessary for this. It’s JRJR. We all know what to expect.

If I asked for a Chaykin sketch, I wouldn’t expect any better than this:

Thanks. I spend 0 time on Facebook.

And Snake Eyes on an Avengers cover. Sure, why not, Howard?

I’d suspect this weird mixing of GI Joe and Avengers wasn’t Chaykin’s fault. If you see him in person, he’ll sketch but you have to bring the paper or book - he’s not the type to have blanks sitting around. This was probably sent in for his CGC signing or possibly the fault of a facilitator.

I’m ok believing that scenario. It was just an oddity that came up as I was searching.

Snake Eyes…the New Avenger.

It’s a mashup the fans are demanding….as soon as Marvel gets the GIJoe licensing back.

Or…hear me out…someone else named John Romita Jr. is sketching covers…

Think about it…just legally change your name and have at it!

In theory if it’s witnessed legitimately you yourself can draw on/sign any book and get a yellow label.

Sorry to say but John Romita Jr gets work because he can pump out page after page of mediocre at best work. His dads another story.
