The latest response from CGC is ridiculous. Using the Stray Dogs acetate to compare? That was done officially by Image. This was a "retailer" taking leftover copies of his store variant that nobody wanted and having an acetate wrap stapled onto his books. This was NOT done by or approved by Marvel. This is an individual modifying the book. This 100% is a Green Label by CGC standards. Always has been and always should be.
I wonder if the fact that Black Flag/Clayton Crain already having their next 2 bootlegged acetate married frankenbooks graded has anything to do with CGC tripling down now? That's right.... check the census. Their next two abominations (releasing soon) have already been graded and BOTH have multiple 9.9's and each have a 10 again. Lol!
This is absolutely ridiculous and EVERYONE here should be furious and should be speaking out and NOT backing down. We spend THOUSANDS (some tens of thousands) to have our books graded with CGC and this is being pulled now?
This will also open the door for this to become common practice and MULTIPLE store variant retailers will now wrap their dead stock crap in acetate (and grade) to dump onto the general public. These retailers bank, CGC banks, and those foolish enough to buy, or not know any better and think it's an official release, get duped.
