troydivision1 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) I now look forward to the eventual post in Moderns Heating Up On eBay about the invisible books once this fiasco is picked up on various comic sites or featured on 'recalled comics'.

wombat Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Somehow it is even worse. CGC didn't have an inkling that this was going to happen? Who is making these decisions? theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bet for it to go over or under that number. I'm not a betting man, myself, other than some select $1 bets with friends/family as a physical representation of bragging rights.

There's a comment in the Bad Idea thread in the Modern Age Comic Books stack by @Crops068 that reads On 1/2/2022 at 4:08 PM, Crops068 said: They are “slowly” responding to people, those that bid over $3k have reportedly been notified. 🤷♂️ IF those initial 5 orders were sent out immediately and IF nothing else is SOLD beyond that... I'd say the over under on this manufactured (aka bought and payed CGC grades) collectible is at least $3001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattn792 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 There are people out there actually willing to pay $3000 and up for this garbage? Some people do not deserve money. Larryw7, theCapraAegagrus, Juno Beach and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troydivision1 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) https://bleedingcool.com/comics/cgc-asks-bad-idea-to-stop-selling-the-slabbed-invisible-comics/ Well...Bleeding Cool posted an updated story... Guess CGC dragged their feet long enough to absolve themselves of this marketing fiasco. Important quote highlighted below: Middle Earth Comics of Houston messaged Bad Idea's Dinesh Shamdasani saying "Hey Dinesh, what's the word on the invisible book and CGC's stance on selling them? Seeing some things online that they're not exactly behind the idea." Dinesh replied "What are you seeing? We only built one mechanism for purchasing (and a lot of hoops to jump through!) Demand was insane and all the copies we made available were purchased immediately (on NYE!!). We have 3 big giveaways coming up very soon for copies in 3 promotion partnerships." So, basically, Bad Idea is happy to stop selling the invisible comics. Because they already sold them all. And we are aware that offers of five figures have been made to those who have copies. We look forward to seeing what happens when the first one hits eBay… My question still stands to CGC: Was this the first time a company / person paid for the exact grades they got OR is this the first time CGC was caught?

Beyonder123 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Great. I wonder if they still would have been sold if cgc dealt with this sooner. Edited January 27, 2022 by Beyonder123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
