I think of you as an impotent sabre rattler. But to each his own.

Sabre rattler, maybe. Impotent? Not yet.
I think you're just mad b/c I've spurned you, to date.

Only using impotent to modify "sabre rattling." I have no comment as to any other claims of potency, but do look upon you with guarded optimism in that regard.

So I've read all the posts and actually had a discussion with CGC this morning and I have to say I am very disappointed with this new policy and will NEVER pay $15 to get graders notes.
I would consider a more reasonable price of $3-$5 per book but $15 is just too much.
Considering they "only" charge $12 for a reholder (that involves real work materials and time from many different people at CGC including responsibility of holding/insuring the book) how can they justify $15 for this service?
There are so many other scenarios that would have worked better and all have been discussed. The best one IMO (and one that I recommended to them a couple years ago) is why not hire one dedicated customer service person at minimum wage (could even be a student) to read out notes to callers. And possibly make that service available only to Premium members (who pay $129/year).
I for one have several pet peeves that I avoid when I am buying comics. I don't buy books with rusty staples, foxing or bad stains and the graders notes were perfect for describing regular defects and pointing out deal breakers.
And living in Toronto and not having access to huge US shows where I can hold the book in my hand and inspect it I buy almost all my books online. So I am relying on scans and photos that don't show the imperfections I am trying to avoid.
All I have to say is this $15 - $30 price is much too high for such a simple service as reading out 1-4 lines describing defects in a comic. I really hope upper management at CGC reads this thread (the serious parts of it that is) and listens to us. I have faith that this change will not be a permenant one.
