  The way the grader was handling those books gave me anxiety

  My takeaway is that the graders have really tiny over crowded desks. I enjoyed watching them manhandle books dangling off the work area as they grade.

  CGC has wonderful staff. One day I was checking out random boths on the convention floor (Retropalooza in Arlington), when I stumbled into to the GCC booth and ask &quot;what are you selling?&quot; The young men told me about CGC&apos;s services and at the behest of their boss (the young lady appeared to be the boss) I was given a grading sample in the of a MTG card in a &quot;slab&quot;. <br>That experience raised my awareness of the concept of grading and the industry thereof. If or when I decide to have items graded, I would not hesitate to reach out to CGC and I recommend you (the reader) consider doing the same.

  Todd seems like a cool fun nice guy. Also im suprised to see the graders letting the comics flopping around in their hands and handling them with no gloves.

  Interviewer: &quot;Do you ever think that someone can tamper with the cases and insert a higher grade label for a lower grade book?&quot; <br><br>Grader: &quot;Impossible!&quot;

  The late great Joseph Barbera of Hanna Barbera invented the DNA pen in the 90&apos;s. A person&apos;s DNA would be mixed in the ink of a special pen. When the signature needed to be authenticated the signer had a handheld electronic reader that would recognize the DNA. I&apos;m surprised it never took off.

  Fantastic!! Very fun elements with Todd’s signature story and history, and excellent perspective coming from CGC directly. Excellent piece. Thanks so much.

  He signed a few books for me. No line and no charge at a local con. This was when I was 9. I&apos;m now 40 years old and it&apos;s crazy to see where he has taken it.
