I have sent books back that had an error on the label, and they fixed it for free, not counting shipping it back.

Like I said, I'd be glad to eat whatever loss I took on an 8.5 Vampi #7 if I could sell a 3.5 Vampi #1 as an 8.5. The seller is an eBay partnered charity. Those books were likely donations and the person listing them probably has zero understanding of comic books or grading. Mrs. Tux 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they have an awful lot of listings for CGC Vampis at hundreds of dollars more than I see them listed anywhere else, so it makes me suspicious of the seller in the first place. If it's all legit and all for charity, then great--but this isn't the first time I've wondered if it's not. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's certainly a nice and cute response. Seriously though, the answer to your question is that Josh only wanted to report selective sales to GPA. More specifically, only select auction sales that outperformed and not any that would be viewed as underperforming. As we all know though, that would certainly present only a misleading skewed and very biased reporting of auction results from CL.

So 1 day to go on the auction, 5 days after being notified of the definitely incorrect and potentially fraudulent listing--and still with no bids--the listing remains unchanged. Had they taken immediate action, the pendulum would have strongly favored merely incorrect; an uncaught CGC quality control issue or something. But each day that passes moves the pendulum one notch toward "fraudulent" in my book--now they have KNOWLEDGE of the error and are complicit. They act like there's no Rush, but if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice, if you know what I mean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I compared it pretty closely to the other 9.6 on the census sold previously by Heritage and this one deserved the premium. Was hoping to get a deal with a few minutes left. Didn’t happen.
