Steve Borock CGC Interview by STL Comics
If you would like to read an interview with a former grader and founding member of CGC, you can get it here. He gives his thoughts about how CGC has affected the hobby, restored comics (and their prices), pressing and more.
There are some interesting points and it’s fun to see how things have changed in the few years since the interview.
Enjoy!
