CGC DESTROYED One Of My Comics | BACK FROM CGC

[@Templarswordxx7]

They said they lost one of mine. $120 book.. just vanished!! CGC said they checked their security camera twice but found no sign of theft. Not sure what to do but this company definitely isn't winning me over.

[@PIZZATHYME]

I sent in a dark knight returns 1 in a 9.6 to be signed by Frank Miller and it came back damaged and a 6.5

[@danalvin1184]

How you or anyone keeps using a "service" after they destroy the comic & take no responsibility is utterly beyond my comprehension. . .what if they had done that to a book worth many thousands of dollars or more??? If they did that to some rare Golden Age book you'd still keep sending them books and money? Mind-boggling. . . .

[@DeanStrickson]

Because they make money using their service. If they have to take a little hit once and awhile - oh well. That’s the cost of doing business.

[@JSSBrooklyn]

Thank you - oh boy on the ToS 99. And agree on the new PSA “system entry” protocols for books from photos to security. That’s very encouraging. And apparently back then it’s all about the wallet, not the cash.

[@Mr_Rob_otto]

CGC strikes again! Destroying more comic books than mold and water.

[@joeythestuntmaster6210]

You’re right about the new Batman series. The pacing is slow, the action scenes are boring and the DEI race/gender swappings make no sense in a retro period piece. A complete disappointment.

[@xenaluck]

Underrated move of the century. photograph incoming items from customers to avoid upset customers over damage. Sometimes the easiest fixes are the smartest. PSA will be a customer first company.

[@gonzed11]

I sent CGC a first appearance of spider Gwen first print in mint condition... I got it back with a crinkled cover. they dropped water on the middle of the cover. Destroy the book. Of course did not take ownership. 👎

The wallet lol

[@gozinta82]

I'm surprised you don't take pictures of your comics, front and back before sending them to get graded.

[@ImproveCollectingComics]

I've had weird damage like that a few times, just part of the cost of doing business unfortunately, as you already know.. still sucks when it happens

[@dtondro]

That wallet tangent you went on was hilarious. 😂😂😂

[@ComicBookInvestments]

I’m always off the cuff on these rants

[@dtondro]

@@ComicBookInvestments… oh, I know, I’ve been watching for a long time now… but that wallet really got you, and it was so funny.

[@mikes6368]

I love seeing abandoned malls, cities, buildings houses towns… I find it so interesting

[@ComicBookInvestments]

Me too

[@shigeyukikakita4637]

Once you get past the first two episodes it gets better. I sat through the whole season in one go. But i had to fight through the first two.

[@ComicBookInvestments]

Good to know. Maybe I’ll give it another try

[@stonyonekenobi]

Dave, did you see any of the latest videos from Swagglehaus? He did one from SDCC interviewing some dealers about PSA getting into comics and the old boy, Richard from Bedrock City Comics threw some shade at PSA because of the head grader they hired, saying he won't consider them for that reason and some other things. I couldn't help but think, is that Dave's dad he's talking about!? You know anything about this? Sounds like there's some bitter history between them.

[@tatobroth]

re: the wallet... $3 in 1945 is worth ~$53 today

[@Hectekk]

Thats true, currently PSA posts a raw picture of sports cards before they grade them. Great way for them to see if they cause damage.

[@DavidClark-vu3dw]

Notice Fred and Betty have real eyes where Thelma and Barney have dead eyes. That wallet is decayed in the landfill decades ago, the 10¢ comic is worth $1999. 😅

[@DocReasonable]

Started watching that Caped Crusader thing, got bored after the first 10 minutes and turned it off. Seen it all before, it's just a rehash. Animation was not good either, the artists didn't understand perspective.

[@ComicBookInvestments]

Ya I got bored too

[@jasonbrazier2864]

I watched several episodes and while I liked Harvey dent I found it boring as well.

[@Steampunk_Star_Raisin]

According to inflation calculator $2.95 in 1945 is equivalent to $51.49 in today's money...

[@ComicBookInvestments]

Seems a bit high for a wallet

[@Steampunk_Star_Raisin]

@@ComicBookInvestments I agree...

[@ActionFigureGrader]

@@ComicBookInvestments And in 2028 it will be the equivalent of $265 if Kamala wins.

[@DrAnthonyCaruso]

Sorry to hear about your book being damaged. I’ve had the same issue many times with spine splits that were never there before. Glad PSA is going to do that.

[@robertbanning6393]

Great rants

[@jvanek8512]

07:55 $2.98 is roughly $52 using an inflation calculator and a bit more using a purchasing power calculator ($90) . They have leather wallets today in that price range, but I'm sure someone who would pay that much for a wallet wouldn't understand why someone would pay hundreds or thousands for a comic that has a face value of 60¢

[@RPRsChannel]

*ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION:* *_10¢ in 1945 is $3 in 2024, 3,000% increase._* *_As far as i know, Marvel Studios/Disney "Grandfathered" Marvel Comics, so it can never go bankrupt again and Marvel Comics does NOT HAVE TO MAKE A PROFIT._* *_So why not just price all marvel Comics $3, and take ALL the market?_* *_The comic books are just an advert for the theme parks and the movies and toys and other merch; Marvel Comics should be cheaper._*

[@Future-Classic-Cars]

I had a 9.4 spidey 252 de slabbed it put it doubled bagged and boarded in a top loader it was flawless NO spine ticks- when it came back it had TWO! Spine ticks and it came back a 9.6 😢 as if to say hey we messed up but we're doing you a favour here! I disputed it and all I got was they never affected the grade two months later.😠 😡

[@darthrooster1]

I’m not great at grading, but I’m surprised that a completely split book can still get a 2.0

[@BigMoneyGripMCV]

will PSA have the sealed inner wrap inside the inner well of their slabs like CGC?

[@SuperTiso]

I am a casual collector so I only want books graded to be something I want to protect, not to sell. So I'm less concerned about grades than I would be. I feel like if PSA is doing all these customer first decisions I'll just send all the books I want to grade to them instead.

[@dlv0187]

are you sure that is the same book you sent to them or maybe they kept yours and put in a crappy copy and mailed it back to you!! That really sucks man.

[@ComicBookInvestments]

It’s the same. It’s t was just split

[@davidsamuelson2089]

Methinks PSA won’t keep those pics prior to slabbing for long. Could’ve dropped during unpacking; shipping damage, warehouse kicks the box around while it waits for grading for a few months, etc. plus everyone who does not agree with the end product will complain saying PSA ruined their book.

[@SilverGoldComics]

Sucks about the split. Unfortunately, I'm in the CGC damaged club, but with a ASM #1, and TOS #39! Great idea about PSA taking pictures, but I'd also recommend they post those pictures to the clients account as soon as they arrive. Otherwise, people will think they took the picture after the damage was done.

[@richardlisiura3025]

Complaining about the price of a wallet while selling 10 cent comic books for thousands. The absurdity of it all.

[@coath514]

Did the cost of the wallet include shipping? Also maybe materials were more scarce because of the war so they had to charge more?

[@Encarte69]

best comment of the day: COMMUNICATION BY PIGEON

[@mikes6368]

Hello there David !!!!

[@thomaspalmer6453]

Is it the same TOS #99 you sent in?

[@chrisbooth478]

I think your rant about abandoned malls, hotels, houses...etc was going to talk about the road side attraction of FLINTSTONES BEDROCK LAND not sure what it was called out in the desert on the way to Vegas or coming back from the Grand Canyon that is abandoned now! My family visited it on vacation in the early 80's when it was still a big deal. "YABBA DABBA DOO"

[@2hugebros241]

I got some massive big golden age books one day to use for partial retirement and your the one I will co-sign with David one day

[@michaelsaia997]

Adjusted for inflation the wallet price would be $65.00 today. That's not a bad price for a quality wallet today. I understand the rant though. Find myself doing the same thing.

[@ComicBookInvestments]

Seems a bit much. A movie was 10 cents. Idk. Just seems way way to much for a wallet

[@michaelsaia997]

@@ComicBookInvestments Maybe the movies were a great value back then. 10 cents in todays money is only $2.19. Movie tickets are a little bit more than that today.

[@brclar78]

Do they cover it with insurance?

[@ComicBookInvestments]

No because it wasn’t damaged in shipping

[@mildomiller7386]

Yep they did it to two of mine recently.

[@chicosuave2966]

Hey Dave sorry about your book they damaged. That sucks man. That Wolverine #1 with all the signatures is so choice 👌

[@My_Paper_Route]

The wallet was relatively expensive because the leather bi-fold wallet had just been invented. So some people had never seen that style of wallet until they saw it on the back of a comic book.

[@ComicBookInvestments]

Interesting. Didn’t know that. Still think it’s over price

[@My_Paper_Route]

@@ComicBookInvestments I agree seeing as the average house was under 5k in 1945. I would rather have a house than 1,600 wallets.

[@MIKEYC123]

I just got a book back and it said it had fingerprints on it WTF I'm new to Comic reading but wow that was a real hit I thought if I had it pressed is there be nothing on it but I guess I was wrong also you should try and find one of those wallets dude😮

[@Future-Classic-Cars]

9:00 $38.55 with inflation it must have been the equivalent of buying an Hugo Boss now 😂

[@xenaluck]

That wallet was the wallet to have back in the day. The wallet made the gentleman. the more you spent on a wallet the more successful you were. like owning a cybertruck today, noone spends that much to haul the groceries.

[@Dragomo-David]

Could you please don’t grab another comic book with expensive wallet in the back😂😂 I was getting anxious thanks for the video

[@ItsBigTexYall]

My neighbor's daughter was my age growing up, and she always used to threaten to "spank my wallet" as a way of saying she was gonna "slap my ass". Now the only thing that spanks my wallet is all the comics I buy. :(
