They grade the whole book and nothing but the book.  

Yes, but as far as the cover goes....if you have four covers they use the highest, correct?

Expand  

If the book has four covers that are all 10.0s, but the book has Brittle Pages, the book is getting a 7.0 or something

I have two laptops in front of me.  One says "this page isn't available".  The other laptop shows me his Instagram page.  Weird. 

probably one laptop has it in memory and cached

In their forums? 

Probably in the offices as well. 

Deservedly so. 

This is a pretty huge fiasco.

The key difference here is chik-fil-a advertises their app and it's free to download and use.  Every chik-fil-A customer has access to the app and can do the same thing.  You can choose not to use the app.  It would be like saying every convention attendee had access to a Black Flag app that they could have been allowed to purchase the con exclusive ahead of the con opening but that also granted them early access to the con to pick up their items without having to wait in line. 

If everyone attending the con who wanted the hideous UF4 acetate bootleg "knew" that they could just make a side deal with Black Flag before the con and could actually get access to the booth before the doors opened (he began selling to the alleged line cutter "influencers" 15 min prior to the doors opening to the public but while a bunch of exhibitors and VIPs were still in line) to buy in bulk, don't you think many would have opted to do that, too?  No, Black Flag and the side-deal hustlers are not off the hook on this one.  BIG PROBLEM for them and any convention promoter and dealer planning to do exclusives in the future.  This should be a valuable lesson to be learned by them.

I do know shenanigans like this happen often, but what really ticks me off is when there are only a few left and the dealer themselves increases  the price. In this case, it went from $85-$100. Greedy beyond Greedy!

And the cat is out of the bag - there's no taking steps to recall, etc.

I think I was pretty clear yesterday I think this situation was a bad look for everyone involved. 

I just like busting your balls as per usual.  

Love you too

I assume that’s why blank sketch covers nearly always get a 9.8. I’ve seen maybe a few 9.6s but I’d say 90% get an automatic 9.8. I always laugh when people get their sketches graded or use the blank for autos and when they post their book they write “Graded 9.8!!!” like it’s some rare occurrence & not the norm.

As they should, but the real question is can the other guys manage to capitalize on this epic blunder?

Capitalize how?  They stated how they would have handled this, which is the correct way.  So unless you just love Newton rings, what more should they be doing? 

[Axelrod]

Remember that Evil Overlord list, where one of the rules was have a 5 year old child advisor, and when you explain your plan to the 5 year old child advisor, if they spot any flaws in it, then don't do it?  

I would like to offer my services, free of charge, to CGC as their unofficial 5 year old advisor.  And I'm not even 5, so, bonus!

Not my job to figure that out for them.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, for multiple covers the grade assigned is the highest of all not necessarily the outside cover.

No.  There are books with double covers graded but the official grade is neither one.

Wonder if a Simpsons episode predicted this.

@NewWorldOrder this proves your point, and Ninja is not alone.
