What @Aqua Lantern was stating is that these were not graded “on site”, but rather ahead of the show. The serial number of the 9.9 shows the grade date as being 7/28/22(for example).
Like I said before, I don't know the mechanics of how they were graded or were but they WERE there graded and CGC had a booth, too, and nobody told them to take them down or not make a show of it or anything. On the contrary, CGC seemed to be liking the attention, too.

This was not done via CGC on-site grading.
I'm looking at a picture, dude. This is a screenshot from a youtube video and, I'm not sure exactly how it happened or how these got graded but people were showing off this 9.9. I was at the show. I saw this myself. The only reason I'm using the youtube screenshot is because I didn't think I'd ever need evidence of what they were clearly using as marketing at their booth.

This really is ridiculous. There's NO WAY this thing should have ever qualified for a blue label. It's like a custom toy that they paint a few of at a show as a giveaway. Leaving aside the fact that they were giving shortboxes of these away to influencers, CGC gave out 9.9s and at least one 10 at the show for a comic with four staples! Before, that got you knocked down to at least 7.0. CGC needs to invalidate these grades, period.
P.S. Please don't zwissler my post, admins/mods. This is SUPPOSED to be where we're allowed to talk about this travesty. -
It's up to 203 days for a simple press and grade. It's beyond ridiculous. The company should NOT add private signings while they're so far behind on basic grading. If you submitted for a simple press and grade today, you'd be waiting half a year to get it back.
CGC changes stance on MARRIED COVERS.

Why are retailers even allowed to submit books that have never gone onsale anywhere? When did that become a thing, just taking them off the printer and straight to CGC? Really defeats the whole purpose.
