The reason why I said that CGC is a scam is because people pay them a lot of
money to grade their books, then they turn around and charge a premium for
those books, and other people are foolish enough to pay that extra money for
things like a 9.2 DC Comics Presents 61 just because its CGC-graded.
It has the added negative side-effect of locking comic books away in slabs,
never to be read again. (But they're worth so much money!)

At the risk of spawning another monster OT thread, I have to know: Why
is slabbing a scam? Is it because their ratings are worthless? Or is
it because it hardens the market so that you can't make deals, etc.?
Also, any comic book collectors on this list: What happened to the
market? I collected Alan Moore books in the 1980s as they came out, and
in the early 1990s they were worth more than $20 a book. Now I couldn't
get more than $1-$2 apiece for them... Did something happen to the market?
