That was the last nail in the coffin.

Never heard of him.

Action 434 Sorry about double post. Didn't want to edit.

Better call Saul.

I would have. Theft is a serious accusation that I couldn't help but take personally.

This week I've been adding a TON of folks to my AVOID AT ALL COST list.

I'm just amazed that people have the time or the will to worry about such trivial things. Shows how good we have it in this country... half the world still has to worry about where they are going to get their next meal.

That is absolutely absurd! Wow. I suppose, technically, he may be correct. One shipment = one box. When you double box, you're basically getting "free" packing material from the government. BUT...come on guy. I can't believe you're getting lectured on that.

These are all good points as well.

I thought the same thing BUT... with all the available free porn these days, who cares? ...unless you're just reading the articles.

I totally agree with your views on pressing, but that's a whole 'nother bag of worms.

That would be a big negatory good buddy! They charge you for "imaging" service. If they took the time to scan and store images of every single slab, then the turn-around times would be 4 or 5 years.

Some of the damage can be fixed by pressing. If I were you, I'd ask if they could include those services as part of your compensation package.

Drop some F-bombs yo!

Agreed. The pictures where he had his thumb jammed in the side of the case, while simultaneously pushing down on the inner slab, certainly doesn't help his case. I'm afraid his posts will end up doing him more harm than good in the long run. I

How can you be sure they are not? Besides, we mentioned a boardie here who did, indeed, have issues with the magazine holders.

That's very likely. I don't think the CGC is in the business of intentionally ruining books. That would be an unwise and very expensive policy. For the rest of the board, we can learn a few things from this: 1. Read the service user agreement. 2. Make sure that you accurately state the value of your books when you send them in. As the policy states, you will only be covered UP TO the amount you declare. Lots of times, people will low-ball the declaration in order to save money on insurance/shipping costs. Bad idea if something goes south. Bruce, I doubt they did it on purpose. I just think the super-huge magazine slabs are garbage by design. I don't collect mags. Thankfully, I've had absolutely no issues with their comic cases over the years. Also, I've noticed that CGC (like Amazon!) has been going cheap on the packing lately. They used to sandwich the cases between cardboard. Now they just use a layer or two of bubble-wrap and call it a day. Bruce, I also suggest giving them some time to deal with the problem before going nuclear. From my experience, the CGC works pretty hard to resolve problems. Good luck. PS - starting multiple threads on the same topic is greatly frowned upon in these parts.

I agree.

I ALREADY EXPLAINED IT TO YOU IN YOUR OTHER THREAD.

Is your character defined by the things you do, or by the things people say about the things you do?

Look man, we all think the situation stinks and I'm sure most, if not all, of us think that you deserve to be compensated. That's not the issue. Charging in dropping F-bombs and threatening lawsuits before you've given them enough time to assess the situation is not going to win you any sympathy from any rational person. It's just not a healthy way to go about things. Be patient. Be kind. Perhaps even apologize (OH THE THOUGHT) for they way you spoke to them on the phone. Explain the situation like an adult and see what they do. If you're not happy, pursue other options. I've found that F-bombs and threats rarely get you anywhere in the adult world...at least not anywhere you really want to be.

I suggest you read the CGC Service Terms and Conditions that you agreed to follow when submitting your books. Pay attention to number five. READ ALL ABOUT IT No one is saying that your situation isn't terribly unfortunate. I think we're all a little taken back by your attitude and behavior. I've done a lot of business with the CGC, and sometimes just happens. After all, that's why insurance companies exist. Just yesterday, for example, I found out that one of my sketch covers came back as a green label when the proper paperwork was submitted for the yellow label. Over the last six weeks, I've been dealing with a $5,000 comic sitting in Sarasota, awaiting a reholder. Meanwhile, I have a customer who has already paid. Fortunately, his attitude is the opposite of yours. He understands that sometimes things get backed up, especially during convention season. I called the CGC three times, and never once did I raise my voice or drop F-bombs. I'm not trying to be high and mighty here but, really man, maybe it's time to grow up a little and change your 'tude?

None. Dropping F-bombs is not how professionals do business. It's also not how adults behave in the business world. The fact that you feel "entitled to use several" speaks volumes about your demeanor. Nope. Character assassination and character suicide are two different things.
