Yes. It was CGC'S claim that Clayton Crain who did the cover for that Ultimate Fallout reprint also did the Acetate Cover Overlay, which is why they said they allowed it to be attached and considered it to be acceptable as a Blue Label Universal grade.
K, thought I read that in here. Thx.
-
CGC said that the artist was either involved or did the acetate art, is that correct?

We'll have to agree to disagree. Considering CGC's response to our criticism, I think that this will be the last straw for many, many more people.
That would be a step in the right direction.

Also false. I'm not going to be submitting through my LCS - or buying their products on the aftermarket - again until they do the right thing; Admit they're wrong and not do it again.
My context is related to the bottom line. This issue will not generate enough disdain for CGC that enough people will stop using them and affect change.
Sure, folks like you and me will either stop grading entirely or temporarily but when talking about a business as large as CGC, it takes more than 1 fiscal quarter in the red to see real changes that folks on here are chatting about. What "could" very well happen is that if Twitter, CGC forums, IG, TikTok, youtube, (insert other social media or internet apparatus) all catch fire with this issue that it is just too much to ignore the public outcry. That "could" happen and also what "could" happen is that someone on CGC end has a change of heart and actually does address this issue publicly in greater detail. At the end of the day, in my humble opinion that just might be incorrect but will share anyway, I think most folks just want transparency from CGC so that they can make a better decision to continue to do business with them or not. -

Well hot damn this was a crazy read!
What a sh33t show!In the wonderful, beautiful and awesome US of A where capitalism is king, the only way to have a company change their ways is to affect their bottom line. That is it. Greed is part of the DNA of capitalism.Complain and type your fingers away but nothing will change. Maybe, just maybe, in due time, some change will come from this mess but take a seat cause it may be a while (I hope I am wrong and CGC does something to right this issue).Is this enough to have people not sub to CGC in protest? Nope.What about all the other complaints you read and hear about? Nope.But what about the blatant issues that just can’t be ignored? Nope.These folks make way too much money and they do it so easily too. As long as that bottom line stays healthy, no change will come to address all of the complaints you hear and read about - oh and to boot, price increases will always be present cause ya know, cost of living and all, so yeah….. chaching all day long for CGC.I’m sitting on 50 or so books for grading but will hold them raw for longer. I don’t feel that my $$ should be going in this direction. My $$ to CGC is but a grain of sand in the ocean so I’m sure it will have zero effect on the bottom line and they will also not even care either.I’ll keep reading along to see how this “latest” issue unfolds. Keep the comments coming! Great read!- Raze, Atomic Ponkie, Marbleman3 and 4 others

I had this happen about a month ago, which was rather shocking going 5/5 on any book.
I've gotten 9.9s back here and there but whoever graded these must have been having a great day because they also sent back my only 10 to date.
One of the better covers to get this awesome grade on. Congrats!

Very helpful. Thanks @CGC Mike

Yeah the print run was massive. They milked the 1st SIKTC spin-off.
I feel that this will prob only get a bump in FMV if SIKTC turns into The Walking Dead type of show when it hits.

Thank you.
I got the following error after checking 7 books: Your search activity has exceeded our limits. These limits help to protect the security of our database. Please try again later.
Yeah, I did like 10 or so and got that error.
Hope they can lift that restriction - It would help a lot. -

It pays to read. Thanks FG! -

The updates will provide greater access and transparency to collectors.
Certified Guaranty Company® (CGC®) is excited to announce that QR codes will now be included on its certification labels for comic books and magazines, and Grader Notes are now available to all for free. Collectors and dealers can use the QR code or go to CGCcomics.com/certlookup to enter a collectible’s certification number and access not only Grader Notes but also grade date, art comments, number graded in the CGC Census and more.
Quickly look up collectibles on your phone
Click image to enlarge. With the addition of a QR code on the CGC certification label, collectors can quickly look up a collectible and its pertinent information on the CGC website. Simply scan the QR code with your phone and be taken straight to the collectible’s description. It’s never been easier to verify that a CGC holder is genuine and has not been altered. When transacting online, this is essential knowledge that is now at your fingertips.
Access CGC Grader Notes for free
Click image to enlarge. When CGC graders examine a book, they may enter comments about its condition that describe problems, indicate the quality of interior pages and help explain why a collectible received the grade it did. Some examples of CGC Grader Notes include: Right Center Front Cover Lite Fingerprints; Left Center Back Cover Moderate Erasure Mark; Staple Rusted w/Rust Stained Interior. For more information about CGC Grader Notes, click here.
Whenever a comic book has Grader Notes, CGC is making them available for free because they are a valuable part of the grading process that provide more information about CGC-certified comic books. Effective immediately, anyone can go to the free Verify CGC Certification tool and enter the CGC certification number for the collectible that you would like to look up. If Grader Notes are available, they will be viewable here.
Submit collectibles to CGC!
CGC is glad to provide collectors with greater access and transparency into the certification process. For direct submission privileges to CGC, join at the Associate, Premium or Elite membership level and receive other great benefits like 10% off at the CCG Store and a free CGC Shipping Kit Voucher if you are a new member. CGC also recently expanded its $150 Premium and Elite membership credit to include all services and fees. There’s much more to come as CGC continues to optimize its services!
So I went to look up some books on the CGC site to check notes, based on your information but ran into an error when checking books. It says I reached a limit and need to come back later.
If I am at a show and want to check cert numbers before I buy high-value books and run into this, that's an issue.
Are you planning on removing that limit? Can I get more information on how many certs per day I can search on your site or via the QR code?
Exact wording is "Your search activity has exceeded our limits. These limits help to protect the security of our database. Please try again later." -
Another is House of Slaughter #1
I have well over 40 9.8 slabs, mostly variants.
It was my 1st go-round at pressing and sending to CGC = man, it hurts to see these recent sale prices.
Maybe when SIKTC gets beyond the "optioned" phase things will heat up for HoS. Can't wait to sell these,

I can't even begin to tell you how many busts I have. I'm sure my batting average is like a pitcher going up against Shoei Ohtani.
So far my biggest win was Aphra. I mostly collect action figures, a lot of Star Wars. Back in 2017, somehow I heard there was going to be a new character in the Vader series. I wasn't even collecting comics at the time as I focused on toys. I probably didn't collect comics for 20 years up to that point. I went around to all the stores in my area and bought everything I could. Ended up with 40 cover A and 3 variants (I live in a small area). Haven't sold any yet, as I still beleive this book has a lot of room to grow.
This is awesome. I hope you make a killing!
Did you grade them all? -

Lol. You won't get notes on a 9.8. I have a 9.0 that has no notes. They are not guaranteed for any grade.
Can't a brother dream?
-
Bravo! Good job! This is great news!
CGC also adds graders' notes to 9.8's or does it stop at a certain grade?
Not trying to be rude or anything, just actually curious.

If so, I am not sure where to buy to get the best deals but I am sure someone will chime in soon enough.

Basically every time I go to the chatroom on my PC there's no button saying, "Start new topic" where there was before. It tells me to sign in, but when I do that it takes me away from the chat board and back to the main site. But when I go back to the chat board it's like I'm signed out again and can't start a new topic. I'm only able to do this with my phone.
Sign out of the site, clear cookies, close all browsers, relaunch site and log in.
Happened to me the other day and drove me nuts for a few seconds.

Your Tomb of Dracula #10 and Spider-Man 129 are your big dollar books. You have a handful of other Spider-Man books that will do well, along with a bunch of filler stuff that will definitely sell.
I agree.

I bought a package from an online store that was 480 copies of the FCBD Blade’s Daughter and the 1:1000 Momoko Variant for $299. Unfortunately about half of the 480 seem to have a printer’s crease. I’m not sure that is something that could be pressed out. But I’ll be watching this one with you!
There you go!
sorry they have that issue but a good presser can let you know if it can be pressed out but you and I are far from grading those right now. Lol.
