I'm not sure if you're posting ironically or not, but I would too at some point.

That damn @Mr.Illmannered hogs all the good stuff.

I wish Mr.Illmannered was dead.

NO!

Unless for some upside down reality reason I inherit your collection!

If I may, I do have a serious question for the question of the day. It is this: How do you feel about the new comic book holders from CGC? Thanks for any consideration...

I like the clarity and solid feel they have as well as the enclosed top label.  Not too excited about the extreme newton rings but its a small price to pay I suppose.  Better than the mylar sheet "creep engine" (not mine, btw...Junkdrawer maybe?)

I like them and whenever I get an old one I feel those are flimsy and light. 

These new ones are built to withstand a bit of punishment

Is Hector tall enough to get on all the rides at Disneyland?

That's exactly what I thought...they're sturdier than the old ones. Thanks for the feedback!

I have some reservations about the new holder. High grade books look spectacular in the new holder but lower grade books look terrible as flaws are magnified. They are heavier and sturdier but they take up more space in the box and weigh more for shipping. I don't like the placement or font size of the page quality designation. I think CGC was making a subtle 'statement' that they don't care about it. The biggest con for me is they are very difficult to open up. You also can't use the slipping paper into the sides to remove Newton rings trick. And these new holders could use a home remedy to fix the Newton Rings. In summary, it's a wash at best for me.

Thanks Bob! I really like the look and feel of the new holder, but I did notice they seem virtually impossible to open anymore. The ol' paper trick won't work either...
