New Variant Ratios on TFAW

Comics
#6048

I know I preach this a lot but this for me poses the actual problem with slabs. Are people buying the slab or the books in the slab? For me, when I actually do purchase a slabbed book, the #1 priority for me is, do I like the looks of the book on the inside or not? The case and definitely the label itself is always last on the priority list when deciding to buy it or not.

But we should probably take this back to the numerous slab topics we already got going on instead of in this TFAW ratio topicā€¦ :wink:

If itā€™s a good enough book, the label could be a piece of used toilet paper, and the holder could be a taped together ziploc bag for all I care.

I donā€™t know what it is but all my cgc slabs have that annoying problem where they like shake and rattle slightly. Not a problem on my pgx or cbcs books

Letā€™s revive the old topic To Slab or Not To Slab, That is the Question! for all these slab comments. Thanks.

They have cases nearly identical to CGC now (minus Newton ring and ā€œmold spotsā€ now). Itā€™s been that way for over a year.

Labels are intentionally ā€œblandā€ in order not to detract attention from the book. Thatā€™s why theyā€™re not changing them to look more like CGc.

Actually, this is more a CGC vs CBCS thread?

#6055

Okay, letā€™s revive that one too instead of hijacking a topic that has nothing to do with Slabbing and their WOES! :wink:

You can always make me a mod but let @D-Rog keep it too. I think Iā€™d be a good mod and not get drunk on power and demand everyone sing me classic Andy Williamsā€™ songs or get hit with the ban-hammer. I think.

#6063

Oh man, Iā€™ll promote you only if you do make people sing you classic Andy Williams songsā€¦ :wink:

I keep saying Peter is gonna die. Mephisto knows this. Dr. Strange is gonna go after him, hence the death of Doctor Strange storyline coming up.
