Similarly, on comiclink upcoming auctions and there is ASM 194 cert# 4290512-003. Its not on the 350 list but was submitted at the same time as (which are on the list): 4290512-004 New Mutants #98 1991 9.8 (Universal) 4290512-005 Amazing Spider-Man #300 1988 9.8 (Universal) Looks like they are cashing out anonymously. One right after another.

Honestly, it's was not that big of a risk. Look at the thread about QC. Almost as many pages as this thread. Slabbing errors are abundant and documented all over the internet. Everyone knows that. So there was no "risk". It's plausible someone missed something during grading/slabbed/reholdering/etc. Add on top of that the backlog of books during covid. Briva3 probably tried it once, had no issues and ran with it. Obviously no one caught it.

What if, since they are in the same neck of the woods, they just meet up and swap books? For example: brivas3 buys/trades some books at a con. lets say buys a bundle deal with a ff#4 and asm 300 He trades dupcak the ff#4 to get some books in his comfort zone, like asm 300, asm 194, etc. Or... Briva3 trades ducak the ff#4 for services Dupcak color touches and trims some books. Briva3 submits them for a green label, cracks them and starts the cycle. Anything is possible.

What if the list of 350, is just a sampler? A lil bit of everything that has gone thru Briva3 hands. From 2016 and up. We got signature series, submissions, reholdering, etc. Maybe they are doing it to determine what year the scam started. Also ruling out things like, was he swapping signature series books? A lot of people don't like taking chances doing cpr a pricey book. It's risky. Especially if it looks like it was pressed already? What if you get a grade drop? Briva3 was banking on that. The customer would just be happy with the grade of the book. Like it was mentioned, one or two were opened. And they can simply be written off as, maybe cgc "missed it". We've seen the many many slabbing errors. It would just be another laughing point on the boards. Similar to that IH181 book Bry was talking about on his channel a month or so ago. It was a blue label that was opened and found to be missing the MVS.

Correct, we do not know if they were resealing them without cgc. But so far, there is no evidence to support that. I'm sure cgc is researching/ruling out that one. If that changes, I'm sure they will update the list. Chances are there will be more than 350. This initial list are probably the ones most likely to have something wrong.
