Wait... really?

That's how I feel about some of my posts to this point. I now see that there are people being left holding the "variant" bag by not having a place to sell them etc 

So there WAS more to this issue than the blue label. It took me a while to catch up.

Still I'm not sure if cgc will give another response, but I'd assume if so, it'll only be to the blue label as that is what is concerning them.

Idk if they will answer with all the other fluff being tossed, but we'll see.

I don’t buy it. Danielle and I have talked comics for hours at nycc. There’s no way she doesn’t read them. Maybe she doesn’t read moderns (I know plenty of people who don’t) but she’s read the classics.

Go take a look at my thread. Over 3,000 copies of ghost rider were submitted before this variant. Not a single one EVER graded over 9.8. Magically 10 copies of this variant were submitted 1 10 and 3 9.9. Similar with the other two books (in one case there had been 2 9.9s previously, but again more 9.9’s in one submission than in the 1000s previously submitted.)

A special thank you to people who are making this happen:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/195268521004?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=OKeY5zHdTHy&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=klSRfU4zRnq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

lol

Sadly this just drags an unwitting noobie, influences by these flicknuckles to buy one for $3000 and think they have 'won' a bargain.

People should just report these items and leave these re-sellers out of pocket, and the influencers looking like mugs.

Or wankers.Or Cockwombles. Choose your own title - all are appropriate

 

Report these 'books' to ebay.

The current bid (Bid #31) is $25,100 for a non-graded copy. That's like a Amazing Fantasy #15 graded at a 4.0

Better option…

@esquirecomics Mark, mind piping in on this mess?

I’m a bit more bullish now on my “greater than 0% chance he gets involved” post earlier. Place it around 35% chance now.

The number of seemingly paid for grades should be concerning to them too but that can never be admitted to.  It’s only the label color that can be acknowledged so I think you’re right that it will be the only thing addressed if anything at all.
