Yeah I have trouble figuring it out , but it just doesn't smell right.

Why are all the Stan Lee signatures on the back cover? As someone who worked in the memorabilia industry for 15 years, working for places like Steiner Sports.. for example: I have never seen anyone decide to get a Kings puck signed by Gretzky on the back where the kings logo ISN'T. You can make a case for "he was trying to not ruin the front cover art" but signature placement is a HUGE deal when it comes to getting a premium. You don't get Slash to sign the back of a Les Paul, just like you don't get someone to sign on the back of an 8x10 photo. Game worn jerseys are the only thing I see people getting signed on the inside, as to not detract from the game-worn aspect of it. All that being said, why did CBS decide to be a "trend setter" and getting stacks and stacks of huge silver age keys signed by Stan on the back cover. Nothing to me, is more fishy than that.

Thanks for posting it my friend! I really had a fantastic time at OAX

Just want to chime in here, CGC has no clue what it's doing. Imagine a long snake where the head doesn't know what the tail is doing. Just because they investigated employees doesn't mean they have any clue that another scam is happening right under their noses.

Oh no, I didn't take it that way, I think I've just been reading too many of the YT comments and that was an automatic defensive response. I knew we were going to get careful answers but I think theres a level of at least we got something, still wanting more though

Well, I tried! Certain people have said it wasn't punchy enough, well I'm not a journalist, nor do I invite people onto my channel to "gotcha" them.

Hey all, so I needed to keep this under wraps until it happened, but this interview took place today, hopefully it helps answer some of the questions we've all had. Matt did a good job answering what he could

Not sure if this was posted yet, but I think we've got someone who won't quit... https://www.ebay.com/itm/285635539914?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=_uMygmInQoK&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=SJUp2xm2Sf6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Either it's Briva listing with a consignment or someone taking the photos and listing something they don't have

Mikey you forgot "and the work of his trusted podcast partner..." Hey ya'll we're going live again tonight, just to chat with the community and friends, if you want to join, 6:30 pm PT

Just wanna clear this up again, there was zero talk about photos of these books at cons from me or 9.9, photos of books he was selling on Grailz and screenshots of dms. 100% no confusion here, Manu (9.9) doesn't go to cons so he wouldn't be sharing photos of someone at a con.

I mentioned it on the live stream, mostly because of the press release wording and timing of them announcing the scans - "Imaging all comics and magazines after encapsulation and making them available online is the latest way that CGC is adding value, safety and transparency to the pop culture collectibles market. Now, when collectors enter a collectible’s CGC certification number to confirm its description and grade in the CGC database, they will also be able to reference an image of the collectible. This will help collectors verify that their CGC holder is genuine and has not been tampered with."

Well, in my experience I had sent a book into CGC 3 times because they kept screwing up the label and it does have the correct scan. I looked at one of the other Gambits he had that was a reholder on an old label and that has the correct updated scan too.

So I posted a more complicated version of this a few days ago, but I am still trying to wrap my head around this, as I don't believe anything in this is a coincidence. (sorry if this has already been addressed after my original post about it) Before Briva3 removed all his stuff from ebay he had an Uncanny X-Men 266 9.8 MJ custom label up - it looked like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/285608152331?hash=item427f928d0b:g:ceUAAOSw1BZle72M Upon checking the Cert # - you see it's already labeled a Mark Jewelers, but not a custom label. I refuse to believe that anything he is selling coincidently has some type of error on cgc's end i.e. not updating the scan for a reholder. So what are we looking at here? Is this skewing a little towards an inside person who forgot to update the scan? my brain hurts.
