No I don't, sadly. I used to scan every book but it got really time consuming so started to only scan the higher valued ones. But I did just message Mike to look into it further. I do know it was not there when I sent it in, and I use a 3rd party presser who hand delivers. So it definitely sucks!

https://www.cgccomics.com/certlookup/4411253001/ Context; the book was submitted with a 9.8 expectancy. There were no spine ticks or creases. The white line on the back on the red text was not there at submission, so am assuming it's the slab. But will double check once it's in hand... What would you do if you submitted this book and got that grade?

My ASM 300 was just upcharged to the Unlimited Tier...

Yes, unfortunately - or not unfortunately - it got a 9.8 -
Actually, I will say that there are only 9 submissions apart between both numbers. I know that some people submit same-issue books in separate submissions as to not get any grading bias. If the original submitter sent in 2 181's in separate subs but in the same box, it would make sense. But this is only valid if the fraudster bought both the green and blue from the same guy.

Something I can't figure out. If CGC is not opening the inner wells for the swap books during reholders, HOW are the graders' notes matching precisely on these fraud ones? And if they are indeed opening the inner wells to verify... HOW would they not see the missing pages or MVS. Inside man adjusting notes?

Need to catch up on the last few pages, but saw that it's been confirmed that direct edition books have been swapped into newsstands. This isn't about sneakily acting like a newsstand is actually a MJ, or hiding a qualified book into a blue slab... it's now straight up taking direct edition 9.8 certs and reholdering newsstands into them. I want to believe there is no way a CGC employee is complicit, but...

Since the culprit has already stated he has over 30 years experience with comics, it's not hard to believe that he was selling under a different eBay before. And if he was indeed using a different eBay that got banned, it's not unlikely that he'd be willing to use multiple CGC accounts to skirt suspicion for all the reholders...
