I heard about this, aren't these Lobbies cards slabbed in plastic like the comic books? I find it hard to believe our industry will go for this, I could be wrong, but I guess this is what the "test" is for. Todd Spoor Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

Well that day is finally upon us for better or worse (though I can't help but wonder if it had been here even two years ago would collectors have saved literally millions of dollars and maybe the "Universal Horror Fakes" fiasco might have been over as soon as it started.) CGC (Certified Grading Company - the people who have been grading comics for over a decade) has recently begun limited certification of lobby cards to test the market and the first examples will be offered at the upcoming Heritage Signature Auction in July. Although no photos are on Heritage's site yet, there are two listings for complete lobby sets (Let It Be, and All The King's Men) that have been CGC graded/certified. It will be very interesting to see how these are accepted in the marketplace.
