TMNT #3 Variant Cover.... OR NOT.?.?.? 1 1

[AmbassadorSlip]

How did CGC get this wrong? Or did they? Is this a con? All I know is that the CGC label says variant, but that is not the variant. Am I missing something? On ebay as "Rare CGC 9.6 NM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #3 + Variant 1st Print 1985 Tmnt" I am genuinely curious as to what is going on here. 

If I am violating any forum rules please just let me know so that I don't do it again. I didn't link to an ebay sale, which I pretty sure is a no-no.

BTW, I am not at all trying to throw any shade on the seller, they are just selling a book according to what the experts have said. I'm just wondering if there is something I missed?

Looks like the seller pulled the listing.

They did, I spoke with them and they didn't feel comfortable selling it. They intend to reach out to CGC again to find a solution.

You can link to an eBay listing here if it is for reference purposes, not promoting your own offerings.

To promote listings, you have to use the dealer area of the forum.

Thanks for the info.

Probably a case where the submitter decided it must be the variant (because why wouldn't they try to claim it's the rare version), and the data entry (quality assurance) person didn't know the difference.

I wouldn't expect data entry to know, nor should they.

The grader should.
