CGC Visits Gemstone Publishing
Share:
few days ago to meet with the Gemstone staff.
Eichenbaum, CGC’s
President, said, “We aren’t here to negotiate or to challenge the existing
grading standards. We’ve always supported them and we’re committed to continuing
to use Overstreet’s guidelines as the foundation of our grading process. There
have been a lot of misconceptions and we think a better understanding of the
existing standards is in everyone’s best interest. That way, when people use
CGC, they can be assured that CGC takes seriously our position in the hobby and
is committed to maintaining our consistent and accurate grading standards and
working with buyers and sellers alike for the good of the hobby.”
Eichenbaum and Senior Grader, Steve Borock, are pictured above holding a
Fearless Fosdick figurine produced by Dark Horse Comics – an appropriate symbol
for the company, indeed. Whatever perils befall Fearless Fosdick, he manages to
emerge unscathed and bright as ever . . .just like our friends at
CGC.
