I assume the already graded copies of the other two books won't have these additional notes yet. Will Black Flag need to send those back to fix before they sell them?

I wonder how many more of these got submitted for grading at c2e2. Not sure what they'll do with them at this point, but if they continue with their stance that these are ok to grade with blue labels I'm curious to see what grades they get. I guess that's a long way off to find out. 

My buddy owns a Comic book store that also is big with TCG gamers.  When Pokemon reexploded all the sudden he was getting like 20 phone calls a day asking for packs (of the new stuff).  He told them he has them, but that anyone over the age of 18 can only buy one pack a week.  His wife was like, why dont you just sell them and order more, why turn away the money?  His response "Because kids will come in here looking to buy cards, and there won't be any for them to buy.  After a couple times of not being able to find them, they will stop coming in and look elsewhere.  Meanwhile the bubble will pop, the adults will stop coming (because they were ONLY buying to catch the wave of speculation) and they wont support my store, and the kids who WOULD still be coming in to buy cards from me won't because they've moved on to find another place.  Plus, I'll be stuck with a ton of deadstock."  

Really? Can you share anything that says that? The way the guy from Black Flag was talking in the now removed Facebook video, it seemed he just wanted to sell out so he didn't lose money. I don't remember him saying anything about veterans. If he really was doing this to benefit veterans I think he would have led with that. I admit I didn't watch the entire video but I think I watched the whole thing before he started to talk about Boston. 

I don't have that copy, sorry.

Just picked this up. I hadn't seen this book before. White pages had me sold

"Influencers" are textbook narcissists, and I love seeing a narcissist choke on their own pride.

Gen X….FTFY.

Harley, HighGrade, Dave & Adam's, Metropolis, Victory, Tomorrow's Treasures that I remember. I can think of two dealers with good sized booths that had some nice GA but I don't know the names. I don't recall them being there before. There were quite a few more dealers with a variety of books.

How hard would it have been to admit that you guys mistook them for manufactured books instead of aftermarket bootlegs and you won’t do it again? Fail. 

Here's a Facebook link of the dude from black flag explaining himself if anyone's interested. I don't think he's helping his case here. Not sure if this is one of those "stories" that are only up for a limited time so hopefully it's viewable for a little while
