Don’t forget the revelation that staples can be replaced on comics and not be considered to be restoration. Jim

This pretty much sums up my take on the matter. Well said. Jim

I watched the answer. Thank you for posting it. But I think the answer is a little cavalier when CGC is still investigating the whole matter. He could have been more cautious in his answer since the matter is still in question. Again, I’ve deslabbed multiple comics and can’t see how you could do so without it being obvious or having equipment to reslab a comic to make it look legit. Jim

Are you serious? None of this surprises me at all. This Forum discussed the possibility of insider shenanigans 20 years ago. Jim

Comicwiz, this is yeoman work here. Very impressive research. If this is an inside job has anyone looked at comics being replaced upon their first submission? Again, I’ve pulled a fair amount of comics out of their slabs and there is no way I could reassemble them in their slab without anyone noticing. This is a bad look on CGC. Jim

Forgive me for asking but I don’t have time to read through 377 pages. What exactly happened here? Did a person break out a slab and replace a comic before resealing a slab or did someone have a replacement slab and placed a comic in it with the label? I know whenever I broke out a comic from a slab you would know it. I know this topic has probably evolved from the first post so I don’t want to distract from the discussion. If you can message me with an explanation it would be appreciated. Jim

I consider manufactured variants a big scam to steal money from collectors. Exploited scams to get collectors to imagine these things will make them rich. Sorry state of comics and where we are today. I don’t buy new comics anymore because I think comics lost their appeal. Good comics that drew us in don’t have a standard. Today it’s what can I do a story that lasted six issues that could have been in one. That Graphic Novel is coming. Remember, one of the best series of comics happened in Amazing Spider-Man 121-122. Two issue that changed comics and showed what an impact of comics could have if written correctly. Wouldn’t happen today. Jim

Oh absolutely. I never collected the inserts for monetary gain. But they ARE different then the normal newsstand comics. And collectors seem drawn to different. I’ve sold bulk insert comics on eBay that may have gotten $1.99 an issue, at most, in a regular auction sold separately. I’ve been been averaging $10-15 an issue when sold in tens. So there is a demand for these issues. Not complaining. Just surprised. Jim
