Hmmm,

Never owned a graded comic...but I'm not sure I like this outcome one bit.

Jury swayed by an underdog story and an Eagles vs. Cowboys metaphor?

Because their "restored" comics came back lower then anticipated?

This would be a good excuse for CGC to stop grading restored comics...full stop!

I don't think the claim was based on the grades, but rather what CGC said about them to others, from a quick read.

I think one goes hand in hand with the other.

Were they doing something sketchy or not?

CGC seems to think so...but apparently weren't allowed to warn others of this.

Where the "defamation" comes in I guess.

Big auction houses and consignment outfits now have another excuse (ie. huge f*#king lawsuit) to not out shillers and card doctors publicly.

When has any big auction house EVER outed a shiller or card doctor publicly?

Thus my use of the phrase "another excuse".

As far as selling altered cards and enabling card doctors, auction houses have pretty much acted with impunity, and post the failed PWCC investigation, seemingly have nothing at all to worry about.

It was. Both undergrading their ( married couple) comic by CGC and ample libel plus slander. It's mentioned in the article and court docs.
