Could this be a CGC 8.0?

[DiceX]

Way to go, Dan. It's nice to know there are still honest people on eBay.

The bottoms are fine, the right top corner is suspicious though, never noticed it till now. I got so freaked out by this, I've confirmed all my other CGC comics and thankfully they all check out, with the amount of them I own it's amazing, and terrific that this is the only one with a problem. Oh yeah an update to the guy I brought it from, it was 02/13/2007 and the ebay handle was jackpottreasures Item # 120084233293 name listed as Stanley Ng with an email cheerscar55@yahoo.com. Thanks again everyone, Dan.

He hit the jackpot, alright.

Stanley Ng sounds familiar.

I think he's bought books from me before.

No way for me to figure it out now, though. That was a long time ago.

Definitely report back CGC's findings on the possible tampering with this book. :thumbsup:

Looks like good ol' Stan was selling lots of graded books, right up til June of 2007... whereby he disappeared from EBay.

 

Must have ran out of old labels.

I'd like to know whether the entire label is fake, or the original has been tampered with.

 

That's the only real question at this point.

Oh, I'm thinking tampered. The CGC rep said the barcodes match, which would indicate the tamper theory.

If I had to guess - and I do - I'd say that this is a wholly original and yet counterfeit label, possibly resulting from a two-sided colour copy of an original.

 

No way to tell without having in hand the paper this label was printed on, to check if the weight and tooth match a genuine old label

I just checked their eBay feedback.

 

There are a lot of names on that list who are well known and several who are board members.

 

I wonder if any of them have been burnt? Knowingly or unknowingly?

I stumbled accross this with my black light one day - if you put a black light on the number grade the CGC watermark will be displayed diagonally many times.

 

For real?

 

Man I gotta try this, that is supa-fresh!

 

 

 

 

For those who needed proof.

 

Without black light:

 

Under black light:

[DiceX]

You realize that the black light is UV light.

By doing that, you're causing the book to break down at a molecular level.

Hell, it's probably a 9.0 by now.

 

 

[JazzMan]

No wonder all my books turn to dust...

Hey guys, just mailed the book off to CGC, let's find out who was right, was it tampered with or completely changed? I'll keep you all posted. Thanks, JadesCollectables.com
