@CGC MikeHas there been any discussion between Marvel and CGC? Marvel has no concerns with this, they still see the additions as a Marvel product?

Admit that they lost it?

The average consumer realizes that? Even CGC doesn't recognize that there were two stages of manufacturing.

Comic says Marvel on it, this is Marvel's incompetence as well.

I know, tacky to quote yourself, but I predict before the end of this weekend, every thread on the front page of general will be about c2e2 etc.

Only 9.8? Why not 10?

Right, we are just unemployed gen x'ers living in our parent's basement. They can ignore us.

Perhaps the next response we see is the complete removal of this message board.

Agreed, just think this silence from CGC means we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg... this could get a lot uglier...

The silence is deafening. For the lawyers here, are any of us at risk of defamation?

uh... the influencers you intrust?

TATs? I'm sure they'll get a lot better now

No, it can’t be guaranteed that it will get a 9.8. It might actually get a 9.9 or 10.0.

Does anyone have a connection for staples that CGC approves for “acetating”? Or a source for the actual acetate cover that CGC approves? I’d like to try this process on all my facsimiles. Seems easier then pressing… with this new process perhaps pressing is obsolete now?

Skeff left a comment on gem mints video (which is now gone) saying that he only got 10 copies for himself which he sold that same night. To get this privilege he did favours for Black Flag (his words not mine). He didn’t elaborate on what those favours were, but my reasonable but unconfirmed guess is that he took a short box full and sprinkled it across other friends and dealers at the show. I can’t think of any other favours that could have been provided to earn Black Flags appreciation.

“Acetate it!” ”Acetate ready!”

That’s a great investment… you could buy the actual first appearance for that much in 9.8. Maybe this is a money laundering scheme.

Who were the influencers that were part of this? I have seen some of them outed in various YouTube videos, is there a full list in this thread? Not that I’m putting more blame on them than CGC… flippers going to flip… but CGC?!?!? Maybe they are just an encapsulating service.

If only there was a sure way to avoid such a mistake.

Is that how you met Greggy?

Seen a respectable climb in price for this book over the past month.

Any more for sale for cheap?
