As much as we don't like what they've done.... They will sell out in minutes. 

They're very collectible now. 

We've all caused that. 

Sad but true.

The rest of us are allowed 25 books (max) on each of our invoices. This was certainly one special order. Wow.

I hate to say this out loud so I'm putting it in spoiler text.

This was quite a nice submission (from a FB post).

Quoting for future reference. 

EDIT: Also, seems the turn around times have vastly improved over the weekend. Went from over a year to a weekend. Not bad.

I once made a joke in here about CGC doing something I thought was so far beyond stupid.....that they would never actually do it.

It was about people taking those "Master of the Universe" and "New Teen Titans" inserts out of the middle of comic books (like DC Presents #26)......and sending just the insert to CGC to be graded.  It was just a sarcastic joke on my part.  But as someone pointed out to me soon afterwards.....I wasn't being funny.....I was just being wrong.

It was at that point I realized CGC doesn't care about this hobby.....or the integrity of the job they're doing.  I believe they once did years ago, and I used to defend them vigorously.  

Now, you can literally yank part of the inner guts out of a comic book.....send it in with no cover on it.....and get a high grade, blue label CGC slab returned to you.  So, nothing they do surprises me any more. 

Wait so they grade that, but this gets a NG? 

I've seen some dumpster fires before, but man this is like a dumpster wild fire that's engulfed all the dumpsters in the country.

Soooo....all the books are mislabeled?

Can't be a "rare error edition" if they're all errors.

Is this real?  I’m having a hard time distinguishing between fact and fiction right now.

Did they just separate collectors from flippers/influencers(hate that friggin’ term, and hate those that proclaim to be one even more), and limit collectors to 1, and the rodeo clowns to 10?

Even more disconcerting....is there really a Community for CBSI - Comic Book Speculation & Investing?

 

The end is indeed near...

Been a website for a few years now. Pretty sure all the writers on the website just try to push whatever crap they can find and flip it later on. Also look at what's #2 on their hot 10 list.

CGC label says "in God We Trust"... Comic cover says "IN God WE INTRUST".  

 

Great. Now you just made it worth more because you pointed out the grammatical error on the cover.
