  1. Some folks knowingly will try to get rid of these tampered 9.8's and pass on the problem to someone else... That's just wrong.
  2. What is a private listing on eBay and can it be used to hide shady stuff going on ? Excuse my ignorance haha
  3. There are a few eBay sellers that always have Hulk 181s, ASM 300s and other big keys for sale like on an almost weekly basis. I wonder what they are really doing.
  4. The scammer probably reads this thread if he has good internet connection in the cave he is hiding in....
  5. This scandal also puts light on the notion of Guarantee which really is not much of a guarantee at all.
  6. Biggest Comic Scandal EVER!! October 19, 2005 It's deja vu all over again in the collectibles field. As some predicted, it appears as if the graded comic book market is going the same way the graded coin market did a decade earlier. That is, it is going the way of cracking slabs, performing stealth micro-restoration to squeeze out a slightly better grade and reslabbing. Further, some in the hobby are coming to believe that CGC is offering preferential treatment to certain big shot dealers. What brought this all to a head is that prominent dealer Jason Ewert was caught selling trimmed books in unrestored slabs. Thanks to before and after scans, it has become evident that the books were trimmed while in Ewert's possession. CGC has investigated internally, and subsequently banned Ewert from submitting. Moreso, CGC President Steve Borock has reported that he told Ewert to "leave the hobby or risk lawsuit from CGC." No one knows how many trimmed books Ewert slipped past CGC before he was caught... it could be hundreds.
  7. @CGC Mike Is CGC sending an email statement to all members or is it only being posted on this forum, Instagram, Facebook and the CGC website ? Thank you
  8. There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."
  9. I wouldn't be suprised if Blackstone sells CCG in the near future like 1-2 years from now. BTW why did CGC move back to their old facilities ?
