After some collectors assisted, it appears this is actually a 9.8 reject because it’s Coverless (not a store promo or variant) that was mistakenly encapsulated by CGC in error. Thus it’s a CGC 1/1 error rather than an official variant of High Republic 1. I will welcome any bid cancellation however, I will not accept a return on this item.

That is what we do as humans and it is to be expected.

What is not to be expected and is unacceptable is when a business continues operating without putting checks and balances in place to ensure mistakes & poor quality are caught or significantly mitigated to their consumer market.

If CGC was in a competitive market with multiple corporations jockying for your business and providing similar services, they'd be gone, done, closed, fini. The problem is there is very little competition and they are left to operate without impunity, loss of sales, loss of market share, etc.. The worst they get is a few forum strings of "look at this mess; I can't believe .......".

Few are stopping using them. The few who have had it up to their eyeballs are just that... only a few.
So around and around we go. There will be more mistakes; more poor quality and delivered product. More product one can't trust. And in the end - the majority of hobbyists will continue using and giving excuses of "it's all subjective" and "buy the book not the grade". Excuses hobbyists create for them to lessen the pain of poor delivered product.

And as for the seller of this frankenstarwars ... I won't even go there. It's not fit for print
