CGC QA has been bad for a while.

In their defense, as it relates to turn around times, it's not as if the competition is getting stuff back in any sort of quick timeframe. I have stuff in at CBCS that's been there almost a year as well.




Ditto...it will be over a year once the books finish pressing and are graded.]]> Thu, 10 Mar 2022 12:57:52 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=16306 Message from Xvipah73

More marketing ideas like signing?
Buying the competition?
Trying to be Mcdonalds' and owning the supply chain. This would be an interesting one because of DC's situation on the manufacturing side. On the other side, they could be interested in websites, price guides, apps, bags/boards, plastic holders, YouTubers. Anything related to comics after the initial sale.
It's fun to think about.

Blackstone Tactical Opportunities to Acquire the Certified Collectibles Group:
Blackstone (NYSE:BX) announced today that funds managed by its Tactical Opportunities business (“Blackstone”) have agreed to acquire a majority stake in the Certified Collectibles Group (“CCG”) in a transaction valuing the company at more than $500 million. Mark Salzberg, CCG’s founder, and Steven R. Eichenbaum, CCG’s CEO, will retain a significant minority stake.

So panic reigns on the CGC forums, but only time will tell if this is a good thing for CCG/CGC and the hobby, and getting turnaround times back to normal some day.

Like my daddy used to say, "It's always something. (fill in your doomsday speculation here). Good night my little Roseanne Roseannadanna."
