Iceman399

Rumor has it if you are looking to pick up a copy of this exclusive variant some of these guys (and girls) may have them.

Tim Hortons is doing that for their fiasco with privacy on their app...we get a coffee and a donut instead of a cash settlement

@CGC Mike bumping this so we as a community can get answers to CGC's new stance on adding covers to older books. Thanks for your assistance in this matter.

They were graded 7/28. A week before the show.

I'm getting more on my memes but honestly. Please help fix this chit.

I hope it doesn't get locked. I'm genuinely interested in what their new policy is. It's hectic in the other thread as there are other issues surrounding the book that started this (Marvel infringement, 10.0/9.9 grades etc). So want to see exactly what CGC stance is on the above so that everyone is playing on a level playing field.

Well it saddens me that @CGC Mike has informed us that CGC has changed their stance on married covers. I am not throwing Mike under the bus as he is just the messenger and has been a great help to the forums. What we know: You can staple a new cover to an old book and get a blue label with no annotations of extra staples. It was done by the "artist" on an acetate cover What we don't know: Can I do my own stapling? (as I would be the manufacturer) Do I have to have a 'print run'? (Can we do 1 of 1's)? How old of a book can I add a cover too? (This book was printed in 2021 and cover added in 2022) Does it have to be a con exclusive? Does it have to be an acetate cover? How much does it cost to get a 9.9 or 10.0? How will the label read? If I put an acetate cover on a Batman 1 from 1940 and the grade is a 9.8. Should I expect the label to read Batman 1 Iceman399 Variant CGC 9.8 1940 How many extra staples are acceptable? Can the cover from one book be added to the same book that is coverless with additional staples and still get a Blue label? Will CGC be able to differentiate between a coverless acetate and a regular copy with extra staple holes? How will these be graded? Does this mean that next year we can then put a foil cover over top of the acetate over top of the stock cover? CGC says that this was allowed because of a previous book "Stray Dogs" that had a acetate cover and extra staples. This came from diamond like that. This was not old stock that was unsold and then repurposed. That argument is garbage. I'll add more to this post as answers become clear, and if anyone else has any other questions they'd like asked feel free to post so that we can seek all the answers on this monumental change in comic grading. I hope we can get some real answers as I am working on a 1 of 1 acetate cover and I can't wait for CGC to put it in a nice shiny blue label holder.

So when I create my own stick figure cover cgc will grade them?

@CGC Mike Let us know or when cgc decides to walk back on this stupidity I'll take that too

I asked that question yesterday never got a reply

Can't wait to hear rules if any behind attaching covers.

It's been universally accepted

Top posts shall no longer be PINNED Going forward CGC shall STAPLE all key posts and announcements.

My favourite question to when they show me an auction result is: Why didn't you buy that copy? Answer is often along the lines of: I didn't see it (well shocker maybe others didn't as well) Because insert reason such as I didn't want to pay for shipping, insurance etc etc increasing the price further beyond the point The movie announcement wasn't made until after the auction and it wasn't a book I needed until Disney told me I needed it.

He's sorta like the house hippo you don't know if he's really real or not. https://youtu.be/NBfi8OEz0rA

In case cgc thinks it's only the forum who has issues with it. A post on Ig with cgc tagged in it shared to Facebook.

I can't wait till we get paid for helping cgc make the right decisions

Ironically she just reposted her photo

That's Danielle aka filter81 on the boards wife. Someone photoshopped it from her action picture

CGC Mike is 100% just the messenger. He's a great addition to the team and unfortunately a lot seems to fall on his shoulders these days. I think this stance is idiotic by CGC to say we've changed our grading stance on "extra staples & extra covers". Hopefully everyone pushes CGC to reconsider like it took a month and change to get them to admit they were idiotic with the invisible cases, or the 6 months+ for the creep engine cases. It shouldn't be the case but unfortunately enough pressure to the company can fix their mistakes.
