And he doesn't need gloves because he seems to have an Invisible Touch, yeah. Trouble is, he lent his grading guide to Dio. He's having to go to court to get it back, which is tiresome as he has a stutter. It's coming to something when you have to sue, sue, sue Dio. I'm here all week I could feel that coming in the air tonight, oh Lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see the need for it except to authenticate genuine autographs from autopens. I always grade under magnification. If you don't, I feel you can miss out on the kind of flaws that can surprise you. I also, always, grade with the book in hand. Moving a book closer to you is easier than moving around the book.

Get Marwood & I Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Fair play, they just tackled Newton Rings quite openly. I think they're coming across quite well myself. Good for them porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say the Newton rings was answered and can testify with reholders and subbed books with another sub coming in Feb. They didn't ask about scratches that I saw. Also is this a normal thing, the video? This is the first I've seen or noticed, but it was invaluable to current situations. Anyway I hope that there are future vids, is there an archive somewhere?

It's the first live video I've seen Mark. I'm surprised by the lack of commentary here this morning I have to say. I would've thought that there would be a few thoughts at least on what was said. Perhaps it's being discussed elsewhere. There seemed to be oceans of comments on the Youtube page while it was live, not that I could work out what was going on. Do you ever get the feeling that everyone is somewhere else? The boards feel like a small local gathering across two tables in McDonalds, while ten thousand people are partying hard down the road in a warehouse ADAMANTIUM and Keys_Collector 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keys_Collector Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Regie had another live session with CGC a couple of weeks ago focused on restoration. Check his video content on his YouTube page and you'll see it. I haven't watched the video from yesterday either but I am surprised they actually didn't disregard the Newton Ring issue. I thought it would be dismissed and it wouldn't be allowed to be brought up. Good on them for at least discussing it. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealing only in online debates can lead you to form skewed opinions I think, on reflection. I've been guilty of that. Seeing actual people talking and responding puts a very different spin on it and I'm glad they did this. Good to see their intent is full elimination too. And Brittany as I've said before is a real asset to CGC - I like how she tackles / wants to tackle everything head on, and doesn't shy away from dealing with things. I didn't mean for my jokey post earlier to be patronising, if that's how it came across. With a few more positive, proactive people like her in companies, the world would be a better place.

The video is rather long and would benefit from that. example: 0:00 - 2:31 introduction 2:32 - 5:21 pressing etc. Then you click on the part of the video you want to listen to. divad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
