C2E2 Variant Drama 24 24

[Transplant]

I hope CGC doesn't change their stance.  I have what I consider an amazing idea for an acetate variant.  I promise I really will sell it and all profits will go to charity.  Can't disclose it here. Wouldn't want @seanfingh to line jump me.

I had my one shot, one opportunity at C2E2. When Jeremy Bastian said I could buy his whole stock of Cursed Pirate Girl.  My only mistake was splitting it with @jonjesper and @Pirate

His art is soooooo good.  I'm biased because he is a Michigan based guy like me, but good lord are his pencils sick.

For those who don't do the Instagram, here is the buyer's statement on this variant "drama."

From her Instagram 

 

 

 

She deleted this statement.  I like Adam and while I don't know Danielle real well (only met her once back in probably like 2018 at one of the Chicago shows) and she struck me a a very nice person, but it is weird she would delete it.  My guess is that a lot of people that bought them did NOT know it was just a facsimile with another homemade cover stapled on.  Now you are in the situation where you have 10-15 copies of essentially a bootleg comic you are sitting on. 

My advice would be to: 

1) Recycle them and take a stand against bootleg comics; or

2) Sell them at sticker price to the people who wanted them (or at a slight premium) and donate the proceeds to a charity.

Being associated with something like this in a tight knit community like ours isn't a good idea.  I'm no influencer dealer or whatever, but I wouldn't want my name any where near this whole thing.

Did CGC have their follow up post yet?  We are all waiting in anticipation.

I wrapped you in acetate, I don't need permission.

I asked why put a USA, Stars and Stripes, folded American flag on top of an UF 4. What one has to do with the other; how these 2 things relate; why anyone cared for this cover before the release.

I understand the American Flag is loosely associated with the USA.

I thought it was referencing Crain's work on Carnage USA, but maybe I put more thought into this than the owner did.

Loosely, you say?

Are we still talking about Greggy's shorts?

I need someone to make these bootlegs, so I can get them slabbed.

Jeremy Bastain is not a name that stuck out to me, but looking up his work, you're absolutely right.
