Can anyone confirm dates that are coming back now since they opened up production again? Mine has been there since 1/18/22.

Turns out it wasn’t just the plastic holders holding up the books. They had to order new machinery, make sure everything was configured properly, and get operations going because the new slabs didn’t work with the old stuff. This was a tidbit of info I was unaware of until now.

That video made is brutal but how did the presser not notice the missing stamp? I’d think it would be pretty obvious. I will agree with others that the biggest frustration now is just not knowing where we stand in line. How long have they been stockpiling without communication? This is not a good look at all.

About the same for me as well. Received 1/18/22. Moved to scheduled for grading shortly after but then just stalled.

I guess the most frustrating thing about the whole situation is that they weren’t honest about the delays. Mine was sent in 1/18/22 with a turnaround of 140 days but every time I would be about to reach the return time it would magically extend a few more weeks. My books didn’t move from scheduled for grading until I called several times in Feb. If they’re really doing them in order received I would think mine would be close to the top of the list but I’m not holding my breath.

I like how the completely ignored the question as to how all 3 covers received the same ration of the grades.

Well Crain may be an artist for a reason.

So you guys are confirming that you are allowing bootleg books? How is this not considered a married cover? Why does Crain get to do it but not everyone else? How did a book that never had anything above a 9.8 suddenly get 9.9s and a 10 after being handled multiple times over a year and having a new cover stapled on. Are you just grading covers now? Shouldn't that be noted on the label as well. You guys haven't clarified anything except that you have neglected your own grading standards for a quick payday. At best the label should be purple or green without Marvel listed anywhere on it since it wasn't authorized. You guys put counterfeit on the Cerberus books, you should here as well.

Well that's definitely a response, I'll give you that.

I have another question regarding the book. How is a year old book that never even had a 9.9 before all of a sudden getting 9.9s and 10s when an acetate cover is added? Since when did CGC just start grading the cover of a book?

The simple fact remains that they didn't have Marvels permission to do this which invalidates every argument for allowing it to be graded.

The book was originally ok'd and published by Marvel for the retailer. They then took the book, added to it through another publisher without Marvels consent, and branded it as something new. Can you even consider it a Marvel book at that point. Even if its the original artist its still a bootleg because Marvel didn't ok it.

Is this an officially licensed Marvel book?

My head hurts after seeing you try to make this about her gender. It has nothing to do with gender at all just shady business practices by all parties involved.

Not entirely how that works. You can't buy a comic, draw whatever you want, and sell it as an exclusive without approval from Marvel. They were ok'd to make the original but changing anything and trying to sell it as something new at a markup isn't going to fly.
