So he made some good points you don’t remember from a video you didn’t watch?

To be fair, that is the best way to watch Jerno.

750 isn't mass production. 

Someone remarqued 750 books. 

Again... Marvel will show us what they can do.  Our opinions are irrelevant.

Yeah, but that's Rich wanting clicks. He shows no proof that Marvel did not confirm this and/or has a problem with it. Many have reached out to David Gabriel and mum is still the word.

They will not say this.  Marvel would absolutely not be ok with someone printing something risqué on acetate, stapling it to 750 books and selling it as a show exclusive.  

They very well could. The contract stipulates that the books are yours to do whatever with. They become the retailer's property after the contract is signed and the books paid for.

1) The text on the back would have never gotten Marvel's approval.

2) In his video the owner of Black Flag mentioned that he was careful not to use any copyrighted images on the acetate, which is why it is just the generic USA motif. If he was working with Marvel on the acetate content, why would he need to be concerned about the copyright?

I'm not saying he was working with Marvel. I'm saying that he signed a contract and paid for those books originally, about a year ago. Those books are now the property of the retailer. They are free to do as they please with them. BUT..... they can't go and add something to it that represents Marvel without their permission. That would then be copyright infringement. 

But to add a generic acetate that has things printed on it that do NOT represent Marvel or their likeness... they're almost certainly safe.

The only (small) concession I can make to CGC here is that, given the absolutely ridiculous amount of "variant" covers that are being produced these days - I mean, I am just dumbfounded by the number of these things - perhaps they just assumed one more "variant" wasn't going to be a big deal. 

Of course missing a few rather important distinctions.  

(edit: and, yeah, with suspiciously high grades on top)

CGC already addressed this possible defense with their first statement.  I’m paraphrasing, ‘we know exactly what these are.’

[kav]

Krang would have this whole situation settled in moments.
