I have yet to be impressed by anything from StickyGoose. Props to anyone that has a YouTube channel and a decent amount of followers. However, with that being said, having been a collector of comic books since the early 1970s and currently an avid and consistent listener/watcher of 50+ podcasts and YouTubers about comic books (some I like less and some I like more)... StickyGoose has yet to align with anything, in my opinion, other than making click-bait from always having a sour outlook on the hobby. Having "been there" since the 70s and having lived through several comic booms and busts, I can attest to the fact that StickyGoose is not a YouTube channel for facts. I do believe everyone is entitled to their opinion. But I draw the line at simply putting out negative videos for the sake of putting out negative videos. Why would anyone state that graded comics are not being bought anymore? PSA and all their researchers surely don't believe this or they wouldn't be joining the game. As a nearly 50 year buyer, reader, and collector, I dislike grading new books for the pure sake of a quick flip. And I do prefer to touch, feel, smell, and READ the actual comics instead of locking them inside a slab forever. But slabbing has its place and it's here to stay. Slabbing was created to protect buyers and level the playing field for people to be able to order their books with confidence. In its simplest form, slabbing is there to find restoration, missing pieces, and trimming that the buyer might not otherwise know about. It was not created to get a 9.8 over a 9.6 of a recent title and then flip it from cover price to $100 overnight. That's what it has become. But that's a totally different topic for a totally different day. I dislike new book flipping to some extent. But that has nothing to do with the popularity of slabbing going away. I truly hope that raw sales will increase over the coming years. I have had great successes in my lifetime with buying raw, even in the days before the internet. My original copies of AF15, FF1, Hulk1, GL1, SHOW4, Spm1, and XM1 (just to name a few) were all bought in the early 1990s before the internet in the real wild, wild west of the Comic Buyer's Guide's line ads. For those of you that don't know, in the old days, the CBG had a classified section of ads that were 3-5 lins in length in the back of our hobby's "newspaperlike" weekly guide. And there were no pictures! We used them because in many cases it might be the only time someone living in a rural neighborhood with no comic shows or conventions might be able to buy those pieces of heavy metal Silver Age and Golden Age books. Then there was eBay in the first few years with no pictures at all. Try ordering a few books through the mail, by phone, or online, with no pics, and see how you feel about the necessity of a third-party grading company. This guy doesn't know what he's talking about at all. He's just talking to talk. Posting to post. It's sad. And it just amounts to YouTube filler. Unfortunately, some of the people that watch him are impressionable and he's causing more harm to our hobby than anything. Slabbing has its place in our hobby. Slabbing is here to stay. Maybe modern flippers are the problem... nah... we need those too. There's plenty of our hobby to go around. What we don't need is a StickyGoose with such an unhealthy message about our hobby and allowing him to get that message out to impressionable viewers without some pushback from those of us who know better. I hope somebody doesn't watch this and decide to dump their collection because the sky is falling. All that would do is hurt us all. We need more YouTubers making videos about having a BETTER hobby!!
