If you look carefully, you will see America Chavez on the Granov cover of Marvel Now! Point One #1 (2012), making it her first cover appearance. Granted, it is a horrible first cover appearance, but it doesn't change the fact that it is her first cover appearance. Now for the question, does it make a difference since she has a much better cover appearance in Young Avengers vol 2 #1 that stands as the market's view of her first appearance?

I'm talking about the partially redacted string just above the price in the feedback profile page. -

Ace Bandage replied to thirdgreenham's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
I don't trust the redacted names ebay shows. when I go to Ebay from a different browser while not logged in and look a feedback I left from the page of the seller, the parts of the account name don't match mine. Try for yourself. -
The Impact of this Flaw?
Ace Bandage replied to Chudders's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
I've seen several 9.8's (not of this specific ) with this kind of underhang. I have 1-2 myself. -
How does CGC handle grading for production defects that affect some, but not copies of a particular issue? The specific example I'm interested in is below (i've posted on a different thread but figured this would be a better place). Several copies of Amazing Fantasy #15 (the 2004 version) were printed with what looks like 3 claw marks on the top right hand section of the back cover. I personally have 2 of these copies with this defect and I've seen many more (see the pictures from ebay below) with the same problem. The ones with this flaw typically grade out at 9.4. If this were a commonly known/recognized flaw, would it grade any differently?

Here's more ebay listings with the 3 "claw" marks on the back: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Fantasy-15-Marvel-2006-1st-Appearance-Amadeus-Cho-Hulk-Brawn-NM/324273221327?hash=item4b8030aecf:g:QYkAAOSwYBFfQl9k https://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Fantasy-Vol-2-15-CGC-8-5-1st-App-Amadeus-Cho-and-6-others-characters/143709475874?hash=item2175c09422:g:iL8AAOSwZ9VfSqIf https://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Fantasy-15-Marvel-2006-1st-Appearance-Of-Amadeus-Cho-Hulk-Brawn-/164342705456?hash=item264396ad30%3Ag%3AB3AAAOSw-HRfO5il&nma=true&si=2ON3YXRJIvyuxt5%2B9rugP3SXnac%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMAZING-FANTASY-VOL-2-15-1st-AMADEUS-CHO-TOTALLY-AWESOME-HULK-NM-HIGH-GRADE-/224128445190?hash=item342f18ab06%3Ag%3A-10AAOSwTjRfQTxH&nma=true&si=2ON3YXRJIvyuxt5%2B9rugP3SXnac%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Fantasy-15-Vol-2-1st-Print-2006-1st-App-of-Amadeus-Cho-new-Hulk-/264835857792?hash=item3da9727d80%3Ag%3ALzsAAOSwjJpfOrM1&nma=true&si=2ON3YXRJIvyuxt5%2B9rugP3SXnac%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I know this I'm probably over-reacting here but bear with me. Only 14K of this first appearance were printed. There is no 2nd run or variant. If there's a potential print flaw affecting a % of this low number, that is a big deal, right? I am now attaching pictures of my 2 9.4's. First picture is the front cover print flaw I mentioned above, the line between the T and O in the word story. 2nd picture is another set of identical flaws I noticed on the back cover. Both have 3 "claw marks" running down the top right of the back cover in the same place. I'm wondering how many were affected or if this is just a huge coincidence. Finally, I submit to you yet another Ebay listing. This one has a semblance of the front flaw , but check this out. The back has the same 3 claw marks. Check out picture # 11. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Fantasy-Vol-2-15-1-Amadeus-Cho-VF-Nice-Copy/392922539817?hash=item5b7c022729:g:CcsAAOSwv9pfSIrU so 2 questions: 1. What impact do print flaws like these have on ratings? 2. If this is a somewhat common flaw for this issue, does this have any impact on the value of flawless versions?

A CGC 9.8 Black Panther #2 just sold for $800 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Panther-2-cgc-9-8-1st-Shuri-White-Pages-2005/224137529339?hash=item342fa347fb:g:KX8AAOSwlxRfSdRd -
Amazing Fantasy 15 (the 2006 version) is heating up right now and has a very low print run just under 14K. I myself have 4 copies, each purchased from a different seller. 2 of which have a minor print flaw in the very same place at the top near the letter "o" in the word "story". . Yesterday I came across the ebay listing below which has the exact same flaw (see link below). I know its minor but wondering how common this flaw was on this issue and if it should affect a CGC rating. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Fantasy-15-Marvel-2006-1st-Appearance-Of-Amadeus-Cho-Hulk-Brawn-3/164342719714?hash=item264396e4e2:g:sRkAAOSwHfdfO5zp

Does anyone have any thoughts on Totally Incredible Hulk #22 2nd print. (First Appearance of Weapon H)? That's a 2nd print that is pretty cheap in 9.8. Just not sure what legs the character has. -

Using the "taxExclusivePrice" hack, looks like the top one went for $750 and the bottom one went for $1000. -

Yes, from the auction results page right-click on an empty space and select "view page source". It will take you to the HTML code for the page. Search (ctrl+F) for taxExclusivePrice -

Don't understand. Ebay hack works currently. Flippertools lookup is down currently. -

Aah.. I forgot a critical step. From the link you provided, you need to click on the picture of the auction item. It will take you to another version of the auction page. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Showcase-22-CGC-2-5-DC-1959-1st-Green-Lantern-Silver-Hal-Jordan-103-cm-clean-/353101055564?hash=item523676864c%3Ag%3AWckAAOSwIc9e3tlz&nma=true&si=2ON3YXRJIvyuxt5%2B9rugP3SXnac%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Browse down to the section containing the auction info and right click there. then search. I found this when I searched on the item you linked: "taxExclusivePrice":"2,550.00" -

Watchcount is not working for me. I tested it with one of my previous best offer purchases and it did not work. The hack I posted a few minutes ago in this thread did work though. -

I have a 9.6 that could potentially get a 9.8. Really thinking about taking a chance. -

Go to the page, right click and view page source, search for taxExclusivePrice ...... the amount after that appears to be the actual purchase price. Just found this hack today and confirmed it on one of my previous BIN purchases while not logged in.
