BCR Posted February 15, 2023 Author Share Posted February 15, 2023 Oh — sidebar. The customer service lady I talked to today was a big Overwatch fan (especially of their animated shorts), so I think it was good that she at least sorta understood what the comics even are.

CGC has traditionally had a difficult time differentiating between small changes like this in a print run. I have read plenty of times where they have mis-labeled underground comics or small press published comics. Have you heard of the Grand Comicbook Database? Perhaps sign-up to be a member there and add these notes to their record. I have read that sometimes CGC will use the data from GCD to make a determination on book labels that they (CGC) have no record of. BCR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also planned on maybe making a video afterwards just to inform Overwatch fans of the differences, etc. The good thing is that the first printing “Convention Edition has it written in the top right corner (though it’s very small), and so it’s just issues #1 and #7 that really require scrutiny, as there’s only 1 printing of #6, #8, #13 and the free comic book day Zarya first appearance.

Yorick Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 @BCR Here's an example of a blatant error on a Flash Gordon #1 (not my copy): The actual "Army Giveaway" copy is this one (with the banner text upper right changed to state "complimentary"): BCR, steveinthecity and djzombi 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCR Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 Woo HOO! The money, the submissions, the wait, the emails and calls - all feels worth it. So happy CGC took the time they didn’t have to take to make sure they got it right and made the change. Foolish Mortal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCR Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 So, I only looked at the first two on the slip so that I could be surprised when the books arrived. Plot twist — Yorick, Larryw7 and flchris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
