Jaydogrules Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 11 minutes ago, Mr. Zipper said: While amusing, the whole argument that the competition went "belly up" is based on a false premise and the wrong metrics. You can share stats that show CGC slabs sold for x% more from now until doomsday and it doesn't matter one bit. If that was a meaningful metric from a business success/fail perspective, PGX would have gone out of business 12 years ago. (NOT that I am comparing the credible competition to PGX is any way!) The metric that matters is the P&L statement. Given the competition has been in an expansion mode with hiring and has a decent market share given they are still relatively "new," I think their P&L sheet looks just fine. I suspect their investors and Beckett feel the same. The notion that investors are analyzing spreadsheets detailing the price of slab x vs slab y for comparable books is absurd. So says you. The gaping price disparity between the two companies has always been observed and documented by many others long before this. Which is why many, many collectors didn't touch Voldy slabs at all. The gap just appears to be widening even more now. Whether or not you choose to ignore, dismiss, or turn a blind eye to it is irrelevant. Many other people don't do that. -J.

They removed those until I proved they were mine. Moderation isn't always right, except politics and trolling, they usually catch those quick.

I just thought I was demonstrating the obvious when I basically said that CGC has the right to control the narrative in their own house. -J.

Many of us prefer CGC, but we collect comics not plastic. So there will always be discussion regardless of brand, because it involves what we collect.

Stop making assumptions. Just because people don't agree with you doesn't mean they are heavily vested in the other companies. Seriously man, not everything is black and white.

And I'm sure you'll agree that calling other boardies "stupid", either directly or indirectly, because someone disagrees with them is juvenile and bush league and has no place in a conversation among (presumed) professional adults and fellow comic book collectors. -J.

You're right. Your posts on this topic are incorrect and ill-informed and make obviously false assumptions. But I have no basis to say you're stupid. Just your posts on this topic.
