top ten reasons cgc should...

okay, this will be my first real journal,2 days before nycc.i was thinking about how i like to submit my books at the con(,one to save money on shipping,two cgc ss,three to avoid damages and losses through the initial shipping to them)so i see dave gibbons will be there,and think to my self sweet time too get those graphitti designs HCs signed.so knowing that cgc wont grade hardcovers,i began to wonder why.is it just the sheer amount of pages to inspect, is it that maybe HCs are easier to bootleg/knockoff,or maybe its right man for the right job type thing.i dont know it could be a myriad of things. so... i decided on a top ten sort of list... well as many reasons i can come up with on the fly for pros on grading HCs/trades

1:rarity, some trades are hard to come by

2:PROTECTION,one of the reasons for grading.i belive HCs are more easily damaged(from falls)

3:more business for cgc

4:obvoius,increase in value

5:diplay? running low on ideas

6:preservation, ahhhh ill take it

7:aha how could i forget cgc ss

8:another obvious one, safety of mind in blind (online) purchases

9:fun?

10:da da .because its comic booky!

ok cons

1:expensive grading fees(willing to pay by the way)

2:longer waits(again willing)

3:gee thats it... wait eat and think..,ah graded trades=shelf eater

4:trades are for reading, hmmm but then so are comics

5:too much plastic casing. well there are toy grading companies out there that grade some huge items

well thats it. do i get my trades signed and risk losing condition points, when, if ever cgc decides to expand upon there services by grading trades. the world may never know.
