Because its not the book behind the acetate. 

Correct - this was my point, which I obviously made badly - that these 'reprints' have been made to a different standard OR they are getting gift grades $$$$

 

They are either suspiciously made better than the originals or they have been graded much kinder.

This could be the thread that gets Blackstone to shut down the forum. 

They will make it a pay to play and create their own comic exchange first.

Wait.  Is CGC not grading the acetate?  I assumed they were grading these the same way they graded the invisible comics which were just acetate.

Or are they supposed to be ignoring the acetate cover and grading the book underneath?

This thread will all be worth it if at the end we can answer the question of “Are prices still climbing or have they eased up a bit???”. Carry on.

Over 60 and have never watched one episode of Law and Order, but I stream a lot of other things.  Currently watching Paper Girls on Amazon.

Any good or should I put my 9.8 up for sale in the forum or comiclink?

Considering this is being plastered and discussed all over social media, they're going to need to shut down the internet.

They'd be better off just admitting they screwed up and take measures to correct it.

Apparently you need more of the reasons. Okay

The original was polybagged. This can cause grading issues.

The original was mostly widely distributed, not kept together by a single, original buyer (retailer).

The original was barely submitted at first. Just over 100 copies in the first 2+ years. It was nothing very special, nor was it treated as such.

 

None of this invalidates concerns about the grades for the acetate-covered crap, but there is no comparison to be made.
