I'm curious what benefit there is to falsifying his bankruptcy claim as it's rather evident that Hero possessed more than $2k in collectible books at the time of filing (we know he had that one AF15 for over a decade). It's probably also safe to assume he had more than $0 in personal collectibles, especially since he is currently claiming to be selling "personal" possessions on eBay. (Emphasis on "personal" since we know some of these are actually customer books). Further, are there any consequences to falsifying bankruptcy filings?

The thing is, it couldn't be Mike because all this thread did was further galvanize the community against Mike/HR. It's wild to me that amongst the HR scandal, we've got some further muddying of the waters by someone posting with multiple accounts for whatever purposes.

Progress pics? You mean it's not standard practice to go radio silent for 14 years? I dunno man, sounds too good to be true. /s

The solution seems rather simple: all employees are strip searched before and after entering the designated grading/holdering room.

Speaks to management to not consider these things and build safeguards against it. An inside job is exactly the type of thing that, in my opinion, could destroy the SS brand. I worry that all someone would have to do is become a witness and, find a forger, and then begin submitting forged signatures as authentic and submit to CGC. If that ever happens, you can say good bye to the goodwill of yellow labels over those of CGC's competitors.

CGC EMPLOYEES STEALING BOOKS AND MAKING FALSE LABELS?!
ExNihilo replied to Charybdis's topic in Comics General
I dunno, but I get to create the next one. -
Really? HA? Really? WTH are you thinking?
ExNihilo replied to MyNameIsLegion's topic in Original Comic Art
I have a Chrissie Zullo sketch on a book that is otherwise a 9.8. She didn't protect the back when doing the work so the back has smudges from her art desk. As a result, the book came back a 9.0. I admit, the sketch is what's important, but the OCD in me is hurt by the 9.0 grade none-the-less. At some point, I might have a sketch on the back just to get a grade bump, but I agree, it's kinda ridiculous that they're find with someone's scribbles on the front, but crush a books grade when ink from the sketch/manufacturing process are found on the back. -
Yeah, I was confused by this bit as well. Why does CGC have a person specifically for handling eBay packages?
-
"an issue"? Like singular? Have you not been paying attention the last few years? The way the thread below has blown up in the last few years was enough to put into question CGC's quality. Then there was acetategate and the complete fumbling of how that was handled. And of course the most recent one being the issue with the slabs. I'm sure I'm missing some in between, but the last 3 years has been disastrous as far as degrading trust in the product/brand. This current incident isn't anything new, it's just the latest in a string of issues.

CGC just speed-running through scandals now eh?
-
Just for reference, from personal experience, any idea how many books roughly equal 1 lb (for shipping costs).

NEW! CGC Comics services and fees, effective January 24, 2024
ExNihilo replied to SpineTic's topic in Comics General
Honestly, this announcement is great since I still like to submit for the occasional signature/remark. But by and large, fully agree in that I don't plan on submitting any blue label books until CGC has proven that they've made positive changes in their QC. -
Can a Forspark Electric Dry Cabinet be used to store comics?
ExNihilo replied to JML38's topic in Comics General
Here's my uneducated take on this. I don't know how this electric cabinet works, but as soon as you said "electric", I had the following concern. I have a wine fridge which serves to keep the wine climate controlled, both in terms of humidity and temperature. The biggest concern is the potential for failure. If something should happen and the fan or cooling stops working, the electric motor powering the device (which generates heat) might still be working. And without any active cooling, it turns the wine fridge into a hot box, and the air heats up beyond that of the ambient room temperature. Now, I realize a wine fridge and the electric cabinet are different. But I mention it because if there is an element to the cabinet that generates heat, because it's a confined space, anything inside will be subjected to higher temperatures in the event something breaks.
