You might have missed this the first time... If Richard had said he "knew" the sale was legit, then that wouldve been enough for me.

Actually, I did say that, and it wasn't good enough for you. So I said that I didn't know, hoping that you would let it pass. Yet that didn't seem to work either, so I think that I will just stop commenting on this subject now

Regarding knowing the condition of the interior of a comic when it is slabbed, CGC will make notations on the label for anything that is more than minor (tape on pages, significant tears or pieces missing, etc). They also note the condition/quality of the pages on the label. For other details that are significant, yet too much to list out on the label, CGC makes grading notes in their database which anyone can request with a phone call and a certification number.

Don't you all wish that PSA and SGC would do the same?

Go re-read your post. You said "the sale is legit" without saying whether that was an opinion or statement with inofrmation behind it. You never supported that statement. Then you retracted it completely a few posts later. Make up your mind.

Didn't know that they did that. Actually pretty cool (and I guess necessary in this case).

Resounding "Yes!"

A comic encapsulation where the comic is open to a page where you could see the artwork would be an amazing offering...

Some of you are very cold-hearted!! Quoting my post, then making a mockery out of it. I don't appreciate it.

No one is trying to make a mockery of your post. Several of us have pointed out the irony of: you being a collector, coming on a collector's card forum, and trashing others who collect, albeit at a higher dollar level than most.

Do you not see that difference?

(For the record, my wife and I donate to charity, every year, almost as much as the Average Annual Wage in our state. In addition, I sit on the Board of Directors of a local charity that runs a food pantry, and provides financial support, and counseling for those in need. In addition to my Board duties, I spend about 10-15 hours a week volunteering for the same charity.)

Paul, you can't come on to a vintage collectible message board where people often spend large amounts of money for collectibles and proceed to tell them what they should instead be doing with their money. If you do (and in a roundabout way you did) then expect some mockery to come your way. Besides you have no way of knowing how much that million dollar collector gives to charity anyway.
