An Industry Show I want to see is Matt Nelson come back and answer about the Hot Shots Comics ripoff/debacle. What was the point of CGC collecting all our info (the books we pre-ordered, how much we paid, ect.) CGC somewhat claimed they would help the people that got ripped off...and from the last I heard CGC sent the books back to Hot Shots just because he (Doug of Hot Shots) promised he'd send the books out. I haven't received Shet!! Doug couldn't keep his promise to deliver graded books to his customers the first time..what made CGC think he'd keep his promise to send the books out a second time. I feel CGC collected info from people so the optic look like they care and they were doing something about it... Where in reality by sending the books back to Doug makes me believe they, CGC, washed their hands of the whole thing. They had to know he would not keep his promise and send the books out. I'm owed 22 graded books...22 books I pre-ordered through Hot Shots to get graded. Did Matt Nelson wash his hands of all this? Obviously I'm very disappointed. I'd like to hear what he has to say. Bronze Age Nerd should also be involved to the panel.
In defense of the facsimile books, the publishers used to do reprint series all the time. I think today's facsimile books exist for people who don't do back issue buying. A lot of readers are mail order customers today.
Can you imagine how many older comics have appeared at CGC to be graded that otherwise would never have been sent in for grading. I expect their revenues were starting to drop after all the crap that went on and the shareholders started to get Jittery but then a miracle happens and all these 9.9 / 10`s start to appear and guess what Revenue starts to go up again. But it`s the American Dream so shit on Integrity in favour of Money Money Money.
@@wonderworldcomics2020 It's funny, right after I read this comment, I heard you say every presidential year is a leap year. No, 1800 and 1900 were not leap years. (Don't know what the OP is referring to.)
@@wonderworldcomics2020around the two hour mark, you're all talking about market manipulation and you imply Tilla(?) was complicit in doing that by giving his books away to influencers to drive up secondary market value but by the end of the convo you had moved the goalpost to it being smart cross promotion. But listening back, the initial point was definitely rooted in him giving those books out to influencers to drive up the value, or market manipulation. U just took a soft exit by conceding that at the very least he got a promo outta it when you found out he wasn't making money from them.
Or conceded the first point to maintain my belief rooted in truth and what I observed to move the show along because bry was not hearing either point I was arguing. Which once again was the truth that I witnessed live a few times but thx for the discussion
