CGC Jumping into card grading?

Certainly looks that way from their Facebook page. Hopefully they have been paying attention and will address the issues and aren't just another corporate problem child.

It may appear that way but someone did a screen cap of the video showing it was an Avengers comic inside the slab.

Inconsistency of grades awarded is also a fact of life in third-party grading. Sometimes a book will receive a higher or lower grade than it 'deserves'.

Though turnaround times fluctuate, many collectors have complained that the grading wait time extends well beyond the posted timeframes on the CGC website.

The above statements are from a review that I found. Sound familiar?

Their lowest fee for comics appears to be $20 for a 14 weeks turnaround.

The article goes on to say that they slab around 100,000 every year, so they may have to ramp it up if they start slabbing sportscards.

Different from what I saw which I can almost guarantee was a pokemon card.

CGC had an abortive photo grading effort years before PSA

If we are talking about the same video then it must have been an awfully large Pokemon card to be the size of a comic. The screen cap clearly shows a comic book.

Clearly we're not talking about the same thing.

There was a picture I saw with three slabbed CGC cards and one was Pokemon, the other was Magic the Gathering. So they may initially be going after the gaming card market. I went looking for that thread at blowout and I cannot spot it right now.
