https://bleedingcool.com/comics/marvel-did-not-approve-ultimate-fallout-4-acetate-covers-at-c2e2/

"Today, Bleeding Cool has been able to confirm that Marvel Comics did not approve Black Flag's addition of an acetate cover as a further variant, and it is also not something they would permit. I am sure David Gabriel SVP Print, Sales & Marketing at Marvel, is having fascinating conversations with Black Flag Comics right about now, while stopping copycat moves from other retailers. While retailer-exclusive covers have been popular in the market, publishers have to approve them for branding and taste issues, and to avoid possible controversies. Opening it up to anyone to amend covers in this way, and then sell them, is something Marvel will not allow."

If Marvel does send a "cease and desist" to Black Flag citing copyright or some other issue (breach of contract, I have no idea) and the other ones get pulled, if the PUBLISHER of the actual comic forces that, what is CGC's stance on these frakenbooks then?

Also impossible to tell anything from those pics...Sure they look solid in the pic, but...Yeah, no way can grade anything from that.

Maybe for your next sub, do a scan of front and back covers and post here in the Spare a Grade thread. Boardies may be able to help you see something you may have missed prior to sending to CGC.

Is economy fast track "on time"?

Back this week for me...Within expectations except the Thor #1's...Most of this is eBay bound (to help fund PC).

Ok if you want me to talk about myself @Wall-Crawler I can hahaha

Always  

I did not go but this was an article in our local newspaper.

https://www.nugget.ca/entertainment/local-arts/star-studded-comic-con-worth-the-trek-to-niagara-falls

...The "article" is pretty light though to say the least.

Also @Guardian Comics and @Iceman399 were set up there...Perhaps they would share some insights.

What they have done to their customers with Economy is a real "dirty".

By having SO many pre-1975 books just "sitting" somewhere, I guess they are not concerned with any potential increased liability exposure?

My 8 books were opened and listed as scheduled for grading, so if the package was opened, where or how exactly are they being protected/stored? how are they keeping track, etc.? Just stacks and stacks and stacks of books in some warehouse?

Maybe could put up a petition on Change.org?

Free Economy Submissions Now!

For me, the issue is that had I KNOWN what the real TAT was when I submitted, I would not have even bothered. I was fine to wait an extended period of time but the time now is crazy and basically books are being held as ransom in some void.

And even worse as books have fallen off the tracker.

My 9-28-21 Economy is gone now too. It will be missed. And most of the books in it aren’t mine, but other boardies’. 🤬

I am sure this has been explained somewhere but WHY would books still requiring services that I paid for, fall off my submission tracking? Completed/shipped books I get, but active/pending books? C'mon man!

My Economy submission fell off my CGC Submission Tracking Page 

Next up to be removed from labels to improve effeciency based on feedback from prominent members of the collecting community...No Grade or PQ on the label! It's in the notes! 

Sellers on eBay may want to do themselves a favour and just include screen shot of grader notes now. Save the hassle of being asked for them...I always obliged but I really don't see ANY actual benefit to this decision...Other than more monies for CGC...

Just had my Avengers Infinity Quest pinball delivered today and set up in the comic/music room. The repeat playability is insane - I'll be trying to unlock different levels on this game for years.

That looks awesome. Who makes it, where did you pick it up?

Looking for opinions. Book is complete. Nice interior pages, nothing missing or clipped (Marvel Value Stamp is there) or loose. Book lays flat. Thanks in advance!

When going through the Previews, I almost always see there is a regular or DM only cover, at least with Marvel Omni's...I usually go with the one I like the best but is there any difference or even pitential difference in terms of "collectability" or "future value"?

Silver Sable needs to take a back seat to Debra Whitman.

Just arrived. Wrong Number. Label says #1. Should be #2. Lame mistake.

@CGC MikeI have emailed customer service about this a few times now to get the "ME" fix with no response...Could you work your magic so customer service can write back and start the process for it to be corrected?

Welcome to the club! You picked a good time to start collecting, as many silver age volumes which have been out of print for years have come back into print just in these last couple of months. White whales like Hulk Vol 1, Thor V 1, etc are available for the first time in years. 

I think I am waiting on Thor Vol. 1 to come into my LCS? 

I like Marvel Horror too...I was surprised to see what Tomb of Dracula Vol. 1 goes for now!

I recently just dipped my toes in the Marvel Omnibus pool. I have ASM Vol. 1 and 2, ASM Michelinie/McFarlane, FF, X-Men, Mutant Massacre (really enjoyed some of the comics as a youngster) and just picked up Incredible Hulk. My plan is to get the Marvel Silver Age "classics" and then whatever else may pique my interest.

Prior to this, I did dabble/pick up some Marvel Masterworks hardcovers and Marvel Premiere hard cover line.

Also, any Spidey fans see this? https://www.foliosociety.com/ca/spider-man.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzbLuqubY9gIVA7_ICh2wYgBiEAYYASABEgLyd_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Production value looks nice. Love the cover, looks sharp. Considering it.

Just arrived. Wrong Number. Label says #1. Should be #2. Lame mistake.

You can always reference your other account in your listings.

I would try to get added to concierge.

They are usually very helpful.

Any idea how I could get added to concierge? My account was reinstated and just suspended again after a few days🤬
