  1. Worked for me. Got the full $50 plus I used my ebay buck. Thanks!
  2. CCS Books pressed and sent to CGC 9/29 No changes and the CCS books still haven't hit CGC yet I was also told CGC fast tracks are at 4-5 weeks now. Never had a fast track order sit at graded for a week.
  3. Mistakes are made all the time. I would concede if the interior indicia said third printing. Other than that, to me, it will always be a variant of the first print.
  4. 4 MFT @CCS Received 9/1 Pressed and sent to CGC 9/29 (10/9 and still not received by CGC)
  5. The most recent example would be the Image blind box books. They certainly were printed after the "first prints". They have no bar codes and the indicia doesn't specify an alternate printing. So what are those? Variants of the first print. As it is with the Saga RRP.
  6. Do you realize how many limited editions/incentives/variants that are printed after the first print there are and still considered a first print?
  7. Possible but the book he stiffed me on showed up on ebay a few weeks later under a new account, which has now been banned.
  8. Unless you work for Image and as long as the labels on the slabs don't say third print, I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you on both counts
  9. I had an interesting interaction with Vault and CGC on Heathen #1 limited edition. Vault forgot to switch the printing plate and the indica read, "second printing". I was the first to have mine graded and saw this on my invoice. Called Damian Wassal and he explained it was meant to be a first print. He contacted Brittany McManus and they omitted the "second printing" on the label.
  10. Most don't consider it a third print and I certainly do not. CGC doesn't. Everyone's entitled to an opinion though
  11. Some graded blanks just popped up on eBay. Out of curiosity, why would someone grade one without sketching first? Isn't that the purpose of blanks?
  12. Usually, after graded, it goes to quality control. Then to shipped/safe. That's when you can see the grade. With express, that should be today/tomorrow.
  13. 4 Reholders - Unchanged 9/20 4 MFT @CCS - Unchanged 9/20 28 MFT @CGC Verified 9/7 and moved to SFG on 9/20
  14. It's very difficult to find high grade copies of the first print. I've literally gone through a couple thousands of these over the past 10 years and the ones still in the bags are usually never over VF+. A large majority of those have had a vertical color breaking crease along the front and back cover.
  15. Spoke to cgc today and there were a few mislabeled but going forward, each book will be labeled correctly.
  16. Well ya. Each cover for every #1 in the blind box is a variant. Each has a different print run and needs separate spots on the census.
