im not defending anyone
i got no of them
i have no skin in the game
but how does this crap differ than a shop “destroying” half the print run

So now they are Revision covers, eh?

@Devildog There are three issues at hand:

  1. The way the store handled the sale advertising a set amount of variants for sale and then not having that many available due to prior pre-sales

  2. The legitimacy of the variant being produced without Marvel approval and just stapling an acetate cover to an existing variant

  3. CGC grading a book that is altered/defaced and saying they stand behind the grade

People are pissed about the book, some for different reasons, some for all of the reasons. All I know is the PR coming out of C2E2 hasn’t been great for many people

It opens CGC to all kinds of problems. Book has extra staples extra holes throughout entire book not noted or reflected in grade but I have a couple slabs that say extra staple I now want Cgc to change my labels if they are not counting extra staples. Why can’t I just slap a acetate cover with Throg on my CGC 2.5 Journey Into Mystery #83 and bump the grade up to a 9.8?

The theory needs to be tested I would say @Alana

Really, anything can have an acetate cover slapped on it and get a 9.8

Can you imagine if other places start doing this as well to sell all the unwanted stock. I don’t think my email can handle Unknown comics rereleasing all their dead stock.

Hmmmm
I do have a coverless Hulk one that could use a nice 9.8 cover. Think it is time to go to staples get some acetate print the Hulk #1 cover on if with fancy bright colors and submit away!

Extra staples are like the points on Whose Line, they don’t matter.

BTW - what is an “influencer”?
I think I kinda know who it is referring to, but is there like a League of Influencers? Y’know - like an evil group of super powered antagonists or something?

If you staple a new cover to a comic it should have a green CGC label if anything, right? It’s a bootleg of a variant or something? This is such a mess

its a married cover, should be green label and not get higher than like a 6.0 grade because of new staple holes

That’s what I continue to say when I lay claim that “KCC is our biggest lurker and reader”
 it’s me detailing that you people, CHU forum members are the real influencers. :wink:
