Some more..

Really enjoy some of these and miss the ones I have let go..

Not mine , but perfect place for them.

Another sold that was reported , however eBay didn't remove in time. Another point was brought up about these that GPA average sales and value will go down due to these reported sales.

Another victim. It was reported, but eBay didn't remove it in time.

Didn't even think of that unfortunate side effect. These graded scam listings that sold will be factored into GPA as recent sales and cause it to lower prices on some of these books. 😪

There is another topic where a board member suggested since they have 0 feedback and PayPal puts a hold on money to new users that these are more of an attempt to gain personal information rather than money.

These eBay seller scams are not limited to China. They are also Hong Kong. They are any comics from Golden Age to Modern. All have 0 feedback. Here is an example of one currently listed with pictures of the original listing they swiped the pictures from as well as the scam item.

There are currently hundreds of these scam sales happening on eBay right now Golden Age to Modern . They are not just limited to China , but also Hong Kong. Here is an example of one currently and the original listing they swiped the photos from.

After searching through my sealed packs and closer inspection of the raw copies and indica. You and Kirk are correct. The raws I have appear to have black wrap removed and nothing stating or suggesting another print. I also did not have a package containing a 71.

I sent in 17 modern books. Received 3/16/19 SFG 3/18/19 Still stuck there... My question if fast track just went from 16 to 9 days , How many times will they walk right past books that have been there almost a month to grade books that just arrived?

I have actually been currently looking for action 686 2nd print.. that is a sweet find...

I will have to go through and check to see if there is a way to distinguish between original and where someone removed the cover as well as dig through my sealed packs. Pretty sure this was found in both 20 packs and I am sure I have a 3 pack with the non black wrapped JLA 71 with the JLA barcode, which would be a variant. Some of those distributed in multi packs have different indica on inside cover stating the came from collector packs also why the removed barcodes. Some also had different ads inside the book ( not sure if that applies to this one in particular , but will check) I am sure there have been those who may have removed the cover as so many did with Treasury Editions of Action , but this is one that doesn't really hold a lot of value so I do not see that being a lot of them. Know this pack isn't the JLA we are talking about but shows an example. I will dig through and get back to you with more details weather I find differences between the two and pictures of the right pack.

This is one of my favorite sets. I was looking at your slideshow and do not see the Justice League 71 multi pack logo variant.

Found this one the other day. Another way these were distributed

I really am not looking to slab this error issue as I know it would be dinged on a lot of issues that in truth are all from the manufacturing errors and as you said I too would want to see all the issues that made it past QC. I was using this book as an example to help better refine my understanding of what CGC dings on grading and what errors they will and will not grade. I pulled this specific book from my collection of errors as it has the most errors that still present as not quite bad enough that to me was borderline whether CGC would grade or not. Issues being the cover overhang interior at to by about 1/4" , cover offset , interior pages miscut, interior pages still attached at top( due to miscut). I have a bunch of other error books that I know will grade. I.e. double covers. Multiple interiors under one cover . Double pages. Miscuts. Misprint. Etc. I was using a worst case to see what the board thought specific issues would have effect on overall grade and which issues would have CGC call too severe to grade. Thank you for your communication.

So they would grade this even with overhang and interior pages completely attached at the top of book? Meaning you really can not open the book all the way to look at interior spine.

No offense.... This right here. . Thank you for the laughs you both just made my day..

Thank you . Definitely a manufacturer error which is what I do love about this one. Can still see the DC info at the bottom of front cover. Can't believe this one made it out. I appreciate your feedback.

I appreciate the information. I had the same issue with the museum edition of too much over hang , however this one was less and with the attached internal pages I was not sure. Thank you.

Thank you I appreciate the communication and feedback!

That is one of the reasons I sought out some of these.( Still find one every so often.) I too think they are cool and would agree they are harder to find as if their quality control found them, they were destroyed. I had a feeling they would not slab it, which was something I was considering . Due to there are not going to be many of these errors out in circulation, but due to the almost 1/4" overhang at the top of cover over interior pages and them still being bound together at the top.( Can not really open the interior) I figured they would not slab it.

Thank you for the communication. I too love some of these oddballs. I have a lot of miscut, print error and double covers. Ok I should have thought of that. Here are some more pictures of the issues. Besides from offset interal at to pages due to the offset are also still uncut and most are still attached so they will not open up at the top

Ok first off I know this is one of those why would you grade that , however I am using this as more of a learning curve on harder to grade and oddball books. I do know that cgc in the past would not grade any books where the cover overhangs internal pages as the Foreign Museum Editions . So I pose this question to the all knowing comic board. Aside from issues that could be cleaned and pressed out what would this grade or would they just refuse? Also yes it is ironic the back cover says brain transplant, $39.99 as I am sure many who will read this will think I have lost my mind..

I just replied to PM and yes it is really cool! Would have been awesome to be there saw a lot of the pictures and I really remember the original death and would have been right at home celebrating the 25th!
