There's a back story about which I'm clueless, sorry. That story involves the people and personalities underlying the cause of action (or allegations, anyway).
But on the surface there is a company that restores the top key comics into "9.4" graded condition.
Some have called them "Frankenstein" books because constructed from different parts to create a monster.

There was a long thread about one such comic, that evolved into a general discussion of these 9.4 books in general (see op for link).
Here's one they sold most recently:

The seller of that comic is one of the plaintiffs, understandably aggrieved because they don't seem to be able to sell these "comic books" for the same coin as before people began to more thoroughly question how much is original comic and how much is restored?
Which in turn would probably erode its ability to find new clients for the "upgrade" resto to a 9.4. This is america so they gotta sue *somebody*.
Thanks, b/c I don't come here as much anymore. Surprised to see this (and not) at the same time. Just a matter of time for someone to poke at the giant.
