  1. Great write up. It’s nice to get the scoop considering some of us just can’t go because we live so far away. Love Frankie’s comics!

  2. Regarding CGC and their I-pad “kiosks”, I was completely frustrated with them as well at Terrificon a few months back. The biggest issue was they had difficulty connecting to wi-fi…they were trying to connect to the venue (Mohegan Sun) wi-fi. And it wasn’t working on any of them very well. There were long lines at the desk, and no one wanted to use the kiosks because they were so bad…but I suffered through it…after leaving and coming back FOUR times (yes, I’m a glutton for punishment). All I was doing was submitting three slabs for new slabs…no grading, so I didn’t want to get in line as I didn’t need to talk to anyone about their services and options, so the kiosk was easiest.
    Anthony, I hope your BAtman 181 comes back w/out Newton rings…I think the older comics may get a different case than the newer ones, but not sure. I am also a CBCS supporter, but heir Turn-around times and turmoil due to the Beckett buy-out and move to TX has me on a wait and see position. with that said, I’m not submitting any new comics for grading to EITHER company until one of e gets their act together (CGC acknowledging the Newton rings are in fact a proble, and cbcs with their TATs and customer service).
    Until that time I’m just using funds to stock up on graded and raw comics off of EBay.

    1. I used the iPads at Keystone Comic Con in Philadelphia and had no issue with them at all. They were easy to use the CGC people were great. I guess wifi just works better in Philly.

    2. I thought they solved that “Newton Ring” problem with those last generation holders. They’re back now??

      1. No. I think they’ve gone on record stating they rings are not a problem. People still post pictures of what they get back every day on forums.
