Nice to see PGX holding up against comparative CGC sales :P

Wow, a whole 31 bucks....

That's a great price for a CGC 9.6...

I thought PGX 9.8 equated to CGC 8.5-9.4??

There have been PGX 9.8s that turn out to be CGC 9.8s or even 9.9s...

-slym (thinks of those as 'the exception, not the rule')

Slym were you at the Stl boards when the whole PGX drama went down?

The scans don't look bad, but very hard to tell.

I think overall though it was a good buy given the risk.

Actually, I was a member there beforehand, but was on one of my "sabbaticals" from the internet and missed the actual meltdown. Heck, I was one of those willing to give PGX the benefit of the doubt at first, and got

on instead, reading all about it after the fact.

Daniel Patterson is a hack, his "company" is in his mom's house, in either the basement or garage, and his resto detection is probably no better than mine (meaning marginal, at best.)

Still, based on that scan $31 is probably good, and you could break it out of the case and submit it to CGC....

I guess.

I don't really know.

Just boosting my post count.

pgx still lives shocking

slym2none · Post by **slym2none** » Wed Jul 14, 2010 3:34:14 pm

They live because they are cheaper than CGC, moderns are easy to grade, and from what I've heard, their "slab" is actually a wee bit nicer than the CGC slab. Or at least it used to be, CGC did a redesign a few years back, so...

I think you make a good point here, especially where the non serious collector or new investor is concerned.
Aesthetically pleasing is a major factor in their continued existence.

I would have to agree with both y'all

I just wanted to concur what everything that has been said so far.

maraxusofkeld · Post by **maraxusofkeld** » Thu Jul 15, 2010 11:30:04 am

Considering the cost of the CGC 9.8's it was worth to buy and resub, at least I think so.
