Employee probably shipped to a friend 😂
CGC is a bad business propped up by collectors who have money.
SAY!!…THAT!!
LOUDER, FOR THE DEEP POCKET COLLECTORS IN THE BACK!!! 🔊🔊
It makes sense if you're selling AF 15 I guess. Even then, I'm not dropping AF 15 in the mail.
dont forget Heritage Auctions
HA! Sounds like business as usual at cgc.
Lucky bastard who got a free box of $5,000 in comics 😂
I used to do shipping for a small business and we shipped FedEx. They sold items through retailers who would get orders and have us ship straight to their customer. Numerous times a year a retailer would realize they gave us a old/wrong address and need to redirect a package. Anyone with a FedEx shipping account has a direct number to a real human CS rep, they would flag the package to have a new label put on it to redirect the package to the correct address, it costs like $10 to do that and takes like 5 minutes on the phone.
The system is called "trust me, bro"
Interesting that they shipped it to another customer and that person didn't return it
Yeah, it'd be nice if we actually lived in a society where you could count on someone who received someone else's expensive items by mistake to actually do the right thing and lift a finger to return them to their owner. Absolutely ridiculous. As much as CGC is to blame here, the people who quietly accepted these books without saying a word are part of the story as well. SMH.
@@donlashombthey could even be prosecuted for theft and mail fraud
Those mofos lost one box that showed shipped to me and never made. Thank God it was only a ASM 129 and Hulk 180. But they cut a $105 check. I hate them.
Hopefully they mark those cert numbers as stolen
It’s because your dad is head of PSA LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
😆
Lost into their personal vault.
A nightmare.Things need to be better. When that business is that big everything should run smoothly.
Crazy that the guy who received the books knew they were not his, should have sent them back to CGC or you. Such dishonesty!
As someone who is a General Contractor that orders materials from all parts of the nation. I would say about 90% of the time I go through the same shtick with these corporations. Especially the note taking and then rehashing the entire situation again. Being proactive on my end is the only way to see results. Its exhausting. Especially when i could be working in the field, but instead on the phone all day long.
Peice of af advice for everyone who encounter things like this, always document the exact conversation with CGC with an immediate follow-up email including time day and person you spoke to. It helps expedite things
CGC list an entire box of my silver age Marvel grails that were hand delivered at a Shortboxed live con. $250,000 of books gone but insured for only ~$142,000. Hopefully will get a check from their under writer one day. 😢
I have books I’ve collected since the early 70s I WILL NEVER SEND IN ONE BOOK NOT EVEN FOR FREE !!! I would consider if it was on-site but NO FEN WAY
Sent Wolverine 1 limited in for anniversary signing. They put a the wrong book in the case for my book (label was correct, mines a NS, this wasn't). They can't find mine and has been a cluster to get taken care of. Dealt w the same customer service as CBI. So many calls, emails. Ridiculous
CGC insurance premiums must be through the roof 😂
Naa, they are selfinsured...
Had this happened to 2 out of 3 in-house signature series i submitted. Got back 2 with an extra signature and a green lable in 9.2's for writing on the cover. I was super confused cause no way in hell would I submit an already signed book before the JSA merge. I'm pretty convinced i got a high grade on my original submission, and someone swapped it out, thinking I would be happy with the extra signature. Definitely some shady practices with no repercussions and an honor system in place. They gave me credit, which was also lame cause I dont want to keep submitting after that experience.
I love your stories. You're always very entertaining and charming...
I got into CGC books because it seemed like the "it" thing for graded books.
I have since seen tons of major problems with CGC. Swapping, stealing, bending, losing, up-grading old books magically out of nowhere, etc etc.
I own 1, yes only 1, CBCS graded book and to be honest... the slab is superior in my personal opinion... the 9.8 graded book looks better than some of the 9.8 books I own from CGC... I feel like a ton of rich collectors forced the resale market into the direction they wanted.... and a ton of sheep flocked to it... I am thinking - screw resale value, I am gonna go with CBCS for awhile and save the money on books with the same grade AND a better description on the label AND the better quality slab (with no bent books!) ......did I mention the CBCS inner well doesn't smash around like CGC inner wells??? Oh... that too. CGC is like a joke to us poor folk now. You rich people can keep your bent 9.8s and mislabeled books and swapped books, etc etc. 🤣
does CBCS lose books? So many horror stories about CGC. So glad they covered it.
Ive had one comic be lost at CBCS. They did find it in the end, but took months to locate it.
Sounds like retaliation for your dad becoming head grader at PSA 😂 jk
PSA will be the way to go when it’s up and running
That’s my nightmare 😮 I have many Bronze Age key issues that I do want graded , but lil scared to send. 🤷🏻♂️
They lost mine too, then compensated me for the value and like 6 months later found them and finally shipped them to me.
They were there like 2 years total which especially sucked because I had gotten them signed at a convention.
You and your dad start your own grading company. Done. I'm sending my silver age keys as soon as you confirm.
Figures this would happen after I had you over for the interview 🤣🤣🤣
They’re very quick to charge you their fees !
I sent in two silver age books to be pressed and graded that was in the first week of July it has been sitting at grading for 45 days with no movement I'm sure reversion jumped right back into those books LOL. I called cgc they say they have no control of when books will be graded. Lord have mercy learn my lesson everything will be fast tracked honestly didn't think it would take this long Leslie I got a submission back an eternals book that looks like it has Peyronie's disease WTF banana book😅😅😅
Taking a chance allowing CGC to clean and press your book's! Fingers crossed they arrive undamaged and get a grade bump!
Try PGX. I recently sent a few books to PGX and was very happy with the product. Nice, clean slabs, good pricing and friendly communications. A good change from CGC.
I was one of the og cgc dealers . Their customer service has always been shit.
CGC doesn't and never will get any of my books. What little I do feel needs to be slabbed I will send to CBCS. Better cases and better service. I look at it as preserving the books.
And yet people still insist on using CgC
Wow! I have an asm 1 6.0 signed by Stan with a cracked case …. And geez for me that’s a lot to lose.
Ugh. They’re not great at their core business…
Ironically, it sounds like CGC losing the comics was the best case scenario
I’ve been done with CGC for years. I hope collectors wake up & smells the scam.
So happy to stick to my raw books. You'd be surprised at what folks will pay for raw.
Dude this box of comics is awesome thanks
Here is an idea people quiet send books to get graded cause it's a complete scam and waste of money
Well that sucks that this happened. Glad you got a resolution that per your description seems ok if you factor in the time and effort of selling the books. As far as CGC Customer Service helping in this kind of situation it's so lacking. The squeaky wheel gets the grease and you have to be your own advocate in some situations....and you are doing these things and it doesn't seem to help much. I feel your frustration. CGC needs a better way to handle situations like this. Sadly based on their track record of handling other CGC issues it probably won't happen anytime soon. Maybe if several peops from the collecting community could get hired at CGC they could do some fix it ops to make changes happen internally. Tthat's about the only thing I can think of that would be helpful.
The lesson to be learned here is that you and your brother needs to change your name to something unique like CHEWBACCA HEAVYFOOT!
I sold an X-Men 1 for around 10k a few months ago using UPS Next Day Air fully insured. They sent the damn thing to Canada! This has never happened to me before. Of course it couldn't have been a crappy low value comic but no it was one of the most expensive comics I've sold. Thankfully a few days later the found it and finally delivered it to the customer. I think I'm done with the comic book business.
Well at least it had a happy ending to your story
I empathize with you David. You should try dealing with them from Europe..........Personally, I can't wait for PSA to get online. CGC will go down like the Titanic.
It should tell you the notes for the label when you add book to submission. Further there should be a “request note” button for every submission.
I wish I had the same name as yours 😂😂😂
You should call FedEx, they can help better.
Likely listed as a”write off”. Lol
Definitely frustrating.
im never sending a book to cgc
CGC is sending a message to you Dave.
I’ve got 4 letters that can help you….CBCS. I know there is a disparity in value between CGC and CBCS, but this can change when the collective mind starts to realize that CBCS is, at a minimum, as good as CGC if not better. I know your dad worked there previously. What was his opinion?
Oof. I got lucky, they just found one of mine, after in person sub at HeroesCon almost 3 months ago.
Come for the analysis, stay for the rant!!! Thanks Dave!
Same thing happened to me.
I hope the returned your grading fees and return shipping too...Some store credit would be nice as a "Sorry Sir" to help with your outgoing shipping fees as well.
If they were modern books it might have worked out better for you? 😂
What regional accent do you have? On the east coast we say "inSURance" - but in your part of the country, they say "INSURance" I'm always curious about regional accents.
But yet they are still the 'gold standard' and everyone will continue to work with them regardless of their plethora or issues...All the 'influencers' and social media community members will continue to support them even though they are a trough of content to call them out on their sh*t....If folks want the industry to change, they need to push the change themselves and start the shift away...but it will never happen. the community will die on the hill that CGC sells for more, but that can shift as well by changing buyer and seller behavior...Let's keep calling out CGC for their issues then continue to send them more books right away...
But I heard this never happens to CGC and it only happens to CBCS!
CGC ate my baby 🤪 Shocking, another anti-CGC video from Dave. PSA PSA PSA 😂
CGC has a terrible ticketing system, apparently.
Lot of people have stories with cgc and hearing this i hope psa is way better service
D you think it's intentional? They might have a grudge against you for helping PSA.
So real question, why won’t you cover the bend gate? You and hundreds others know it’s real, you have a following man. How many collectors are there? You might could make a difference
Cgc is a shell of what they were. Your dad and psa is a perfect connection, you can own that. But when something is wrong, and something “reliable” is not. Un F it man
Do you get a refund on the submission fees as well, as you don't get the graded books?
Dave I'm sorry to hug up your Channel but I got to tell you I ordered some books from an auction in Indiana a farm auction I live in Florida I received the books they were rubber bands and enrolled each book had a auction sticker on it😅😅😅 you should have saw me trying to peel these stickers and talk about spine ticks😅😅😅 these are definitely readers thanks for keeping us informed
Oh, moderns. So they were bent, anyway
Totally should be all marked stolen .. but don’t know if it would make a difference.. bad juju for the receiver
CGC is DEAD!
Damn, again??? This isn't the first time it happened to you. I understand why you have to send it to them since CGC gets the highest return for the value, but DAMN!!! It really is harsh on how CGC has a hold on the industry. My heart goes out to you, bruh. It really makes me hesitant to ever send books o them in the future. CBCS is no better since they had the same scandal a couple of years ago. What's a comic fan to do....🤔
Lost. lol. Cmon man. Really!?
Again...lol. 😃🤣😂😁😀
Did they refund you for the grading fees? Not sure if I missed that.
When will comic people learn to not use CGC.
Stop telling other people how to collect. There is no wrong way to collect comics. And shame on you for trying to gatekeep comic collecting
Plus you didnt have to sell or ship them so it was them selling them for you basically.cool
Again?
Let us examine the facts. Are you actually surprised?
And you will still send more books to CGC
He's a dealer. Facts! Has an auction house and sells books weekly on his site. He has the voice and capital to pivot away from CGC and yet stays with the company to submit 100s of books monthly. You wants CBCS to make leaps in the market the large dealers have to pivot. I don't think his attitude would have been the same if they were silver and golden age books
Cbcs lost 2 of my books one was signed 252
I'm sorry but CGC is just a fly by night operation. Any levels of professionalism are just an act to keep the operation going.
Where is your CGC Banana Gate video???
So much for your address being linked to your account I guess.
Fed Ex sucks.
Could have been CBCS.
Not really ahead, you lost time everytime you called, all the aggravation and stress, yeah they paid you back, but the run around is a turn off
ya it was annoying but at least they made it right by paying me out
Every time I've used FedEx with cgc I had to show ID to sign for my cgc packages so FedEx definitely was at fault for delivery to someone not you.
CGC is not nearly as bad as you video jockeys make them out to be. You just want people to watch your video. You,'re probably not even telling the truth.
