Mechanical error eligibility question: policy has changed since book was originally slabbed 1 1

[Qalyar]

I've got a question regarding the new way ME submissions are handled (where there's no prior authorization required), because I'd like to avoid a surprise billing if this isn't ME-eligible.

I have Midnight Nation #1 B cover (#0715162059) which was correctly labeled and graded at the time it was originally submitted (fair disclosure: not my submission, either). This issue shipped as a 50/50 ratio of two covers. Originally -- as with this book -- CGC merely noted that "two covers exist". However, policy has changed since that time. CGC now distinguishes between the A and B covers, with the B cover now considered the "Midnight Nation 1 Variant Cover".

Is this book eligible for Mechanical Error correction to change its identification to the -- now -- correct cover type?

Good morning,

Thank you for your message.  You should still contact us before sending in anything for a mechanical error so we can verify the error or issue beforehand.  In this case, a change in the policy on how we list something on the label would not be considered an error as it was correct at the time we graded the book.  You could send that in for a reholder and we could update the wording to the most updated version and reprint the label for you.

If you have any questions, please let us know.  Thank you!
