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...
