Since we are now accepting of acetate covers over top of old unused stock. Does this mean that next year we can then put a foil cover over top of the acetate over top of the stock cover? @CGC Mike let me know when cgc wants to stop making their decision into a mockery. 

You left out the key question. If you remove the acetate and submit it for grading, will it get a 0.5 Coverless? 

[MGH]

Time to be flooded with unsold back issues with new plastic  covers 

Cgc finally found a way to get additional  business from all those long boxes of unsold 90s issue #1's 

And here we thought we'd already  hit peak nonsense variants...  

No more CGC for me...  Thanks..  Im out

Honestly, I really want to see Bad Idea’s response to this and hope it is in full-blown Bad Idea fashion. 

Not a fan at all of how it went down originally with Bad Idea, BUT...if they cracked their '9.8' Conceptual Funnies and attached another acetate cover over it then I will give them 'golf clap'.

You’ve posted on this several times.  Your words comes across as reflecting absolute certainty that the creator intended to use the archaic “intrust” rather than the generally universal spelling in modern parlance - “entrust”.  Initially, I thought you were joking, if so bravo for holding the line.  If not, what is the source of your certainty?  I see two possibilities: 1. This was an incredibly careless typo on a product for which they are charging $85 a piece.  or 2. The artist intended to use the archaic form to change the slogan from “In God We Trust”. To “In God We Intrust” which is still not a correct use of the word intrust or entrust no matter how you choose to spell it.  There may be other possibilities but of these two, #1 seem more likely.

Never stated I was certain. I'd say the guys calling him names for getting it wrong seem pretty certain though.

All I'm saying is it seems intentional since it is not only on the book, which would have gone through editing and approval stages before printing (and no doubt even the printer called to double check when they saw it), and it was also posted on IG by Crain himself before they book came out.  Which I posted.   I mean... if a guy, with his reputation on the line, calls his very own book the "In God We Intrust cover".....  I'd tend to believe it instead of saying "no, it's not!!", but that's just me (I'm not an internet lawyer or anything).

To say it's the wrong usage is untrue.  Entrust is a verb.  Trust is a noun and/or verb.  But trust is faith, and entrust is to act on that faith.  This is how it's used in the Bible.

I've said there is nothing wrong with the phrase as-is, and it could have been very intentional not to copy the nation's motto word-for-word. On the other hand, a half dozen people who do this stuff for a living could have all missed it.  I've never once stated I was absolutely certain. The half-dozen here who claim to know it's incorrect may have a more interesting explanation to support their certainty.. but I'm guessing not.

Catching up on the last six hours but the response from 6 hours ago is just….I don’t really know the words. Terrible I guess. Ever want to document someone not being able to admit they were wrong…that is the post. 

The thread moves so fast and there's so much back and forth banter, I wish there was a way to easily highlight official CGC posts every 10 pages along with a summary of the thread up to date.

looks like a high school art student's project to be honest.

Hey, everyone has their own taste.  People probably don't like the art I like.  Just saw some people thought there was a venom acetate too and wanted to correct any misconceptions.

 There is now. 

The Kav SAM Arsetate Edition.

What page was the chain of events on that TTony (I think it was him) posted? 

 

If this keeps up another couple dozen pages, there will be a part 2.

Guys walking up and taunting the employees who had nothing to do with creating the books are not potential customers.

They're dumbasses.

Yes and no. Its not right to taunt them, but its the owner not the employees.

Jared was there?   The one I saw (the obnoxious drunk guy) showed about 3 people.   Couldn't tell if any were Jared.   But there was a girl hiding there too.

It's not the recording.  It's the harassment.

I guess that would depend on people coming up and verbally harassing them. Just recording is not harassment, but I would agree that giving them grief would be.

That was quick. I deleted that comment like right after I posted it.  I only saw one video  and realized maybe the other one did in fact show them asking not to be recorded.

Perhaps.  I don’t think anyone said they were certain about it, it seemed implied in your posts but much nuisance is lost in internet banter.  Nice lawyer zinger btw.  Are you saying “In God we entrust” is a correct usage?      I’ve never encountered that phraseology.  I’m not saying it’s wrong, just unusual enough to suspect it was unintentional.  A quick Google search led me to only one website that used that phrase - “Steve’s Bible Meditations”.  Possibly another of DrunkWoody’s gonk droid sites.  Maybe Clayton is a reader.  Or maybe Clayton noticed the typo after it was printed and decided to use the Peewee Herman “I meant to do that” defense.  I’m agnostic on the subject as I don’t have enough information to form a conclusion but I have my suspicions.
