Do… do I give you a ghost rider #1 Cgc 10 as change?

As long as it's a CGC 0.5 copy.

Apparently, the CGC 10's are common as dirt.

<<<Gets charged for one hour of legal fees.........throws a copy of the UF #4 C2E2 Variant in his face to satisfy the bill.>>>

 

I was going to grab a bunch of low grade Sandman #1s and create a Sadfan Acetate Variant, but I could try to track one of these down if necessary.

Naw. If you want the reason why, my hourly rate is $1250.

I remember this look you gave me when I retained your services.   Very similar to that below. 

Actually... I had this on my cell phone.  This might have been the actual look...

I want to thank the myriad of attorneys, lawyers, barristers, and copycats in this thread for reinforcing my decision made decades ago to stay away from becoming a lawyer.  :wink: 

Seriously, the back and forth is interesting.  Carry on!  Anyone got anything more on the appearance of impropriety here that a customer might have paid CGC in advance for specific grades, rather than for third party grading?

This question right here is the kicker.

Elephant in the room.

How did these flogs get so many identically high grades on each book, which is exponentially higher than the original books recieved by a magnitude beyond belief.

 

Explain how they got 1 x 10, 3 x 9.9 etc etc from 10 books (or whatever it was) when the original book - ULTIMATE FALLOUT #4 - had exactly 0 in 10.0 and 0 in 9.9 - out of OVER 14,000 BOOKS.

I notice Crain again did some art - I wonder how Marvel feels about one of it's artists going rogue.

Seriously - this needs addressing.

 

I mean, imagine if ALL the influencers (aka cockwombling wankers) had been invited to CGC HQ for an 'advice on how to grade using CGC standards' - you know, the 'secret sauce' that makes you $$$ by knowing all CGC's funny little ways...

 

Oh wait - THEY DID - just before this fiasco unfolded.

 

The fact that this seems to 99% of people on here, and across the internet seem to believe that this is a 'cash for grades' scam is bad enough.

The fact that is was done in plain sight, with breadcrumbs to follow the size of cars, then no wonder the backlash has been huge - and still growing. This is a disgrace.

 

@CGC Mike @dena @Harshen @Rich Johnston  @DrWatson

 

Any decent competitor, with $$$ reserves, should be advertising the hell out of this, fixing their website, and launching a census for their books. Then offering a 30% discount, and smashing their TAT's with new hires and new equipment.

This isn't going away - especially with CGC doubling-down with increasingly moronic responses, and Black Flag still going ahead with the next launch at the next Convention - despite the organisers being notified that these are UNAUTHORISED FAKES.

 

Hopefully someone with be there to record the no-doubt epically rowdy scenes.......

While the grades on these frankenbooks are obviously suspicious, the original book is completely irrelevant for multiple reasons.

Because its not the book behind the acetate.
