They wanted matching sets available to sell, is my guess. Who at CGC made this amazing coincidence happen, we’ll never know…

Must be the formula for when they get acetates in. Probably a chart they follow.
They have to keep those turn around times down ,move product. No one is going to complain about what they got if they throw in a 10 and a few 9.9s.
Lol. It has been entertaining, but that was a run of the mill Friday back in the day.
For example, the Neeley/House of Comics thread included real-life attempted murder. A few minutes or extra stab wounds away from being homicide.
Let’s hope Black Flag or the influences don’t show up start perpetrating stuff like that.
Anyone look at some of the “bids” on some of these. Clearly seems like someone is driving up the price to likely not pay, not sure why anyone would pay 20k+ for this book.
But I’ve reported as many as I can and from earlier this morning, seems like some are starting to vanish. Hoping it’s eBay removing them.

Some of the people on the CGC forum are saying that they’re deliberately bidding them up to mess with the sellers.
Other people are also reporting them as bootleg sales, and Ebay seem to be removing them.

Yup, figured those really high bid amounts were others messing with them. I don’t feel sorry for anyone selling this if they think they’re gonna “bank” on them… haha!
I hope all those “influencers” who gobbled up multiple copies get stuck with a bunch of worthless paper… wrapped in ugly plastic!

Not even gonna read that Go Collect trash. From the preview, the author is blind and playing dumb. “According to Marvel, a vendor at C2E2 blah blah blah…” The author damn well knows, along with EVERYBODY, that the book was sold at C2E2. YOU DONT HAVE TO ASK MARVEL.
I wish these youtubers and article writers would stop pussy-footing around, AND CALL OUT BLACK FLAG and CGC !!! Have some balls, damn

i’m just gonna report them and move on, getting pretty tired of all this drama anyways lol
That’s what I’m doing. Report and move on. I’m doing it to save those dumbasses with too much money from buying a mistake.

I’m no fanboy of GoCollect, but credit where credit is due, they seem to have this one right:
" And as we all know, an unapproved edition is otherwise known as a Counterfeit or a Bootleg ."

You can use this link to find most of the listings to report (if anyone wants to help out and report, the more the better I say in hopes eBay catches them to remove).
And you thought Comic Influencers are bad… well Crypto Influencers very similar shady biz
It’s always about money 
Always be careful out there in any industry and their Influencers

But it bows are selling for $700 or more. Stupid. Sadly ebay stopped taking down the ones I have reported.
I have to say Gocollect did a nice job of basically summing up everything that we have said on this forum.
Nicely don’t go-collect lol.

I cannot stand YouTube “influencers”, especially comic book pumpers. I hope some of them crash and burn over this.

The best thing is that CGC is taking a beating by their most loyal customers in their forum. Yet they can’t shut the thread down because it would make them look even worse than they already are.

Yikes, why are there so many of these on ebay for over 10K with bids?
