| I actually had a 1st Print Newsstand Edition labeled as a Facsimile Edition. Already submitted a ticket, but keep an eye out on your books. Never thought CGC would make these kind of errors.  |

| From YouTube videos they have been labelling some facsimile as the standard first print. Seems to be all kinds of messed up over this book. | ||

 It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious.

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| @flanders Wow! I know the Newsstand version (of any book at a high grade) are more rare, but I never knew that people value the Newsstand version of this at such a higher price! I figured it'd go for around the same as a 9.6 Direct Edition. | ||

I’ll give you $150 for it right now. More than double FMV for 9.8 facsimile  |

| Yeah, it was my 9.4 newsstand that sold at MCS for $12,000. I think the last 9.6 sold for $10,000, so who knows what your 9.6 would get at this point? | ||

| @Bender3455 well if you're going to sell once it gets back from CGC I wouldn't list it for less than $25k. I'd also get a collector's insurance policy if you don't already have one and confirm with CGC what the comic is insured for when you resubmit it. | ||

| @Bender3455 Newsstands were more common until the mid 1980's. The Ultimate Fallout was one of the last Newsstands so there are maybe 5% as many as Hobby. Extremely rare to find in high grade. Especially since they on display in a retail store. Most likely a bookstore. | ||

| Never thought they made those kind of errors? Lol... Go read the "Where was quality Control" thread over on their forum. Funniest thread on the Internet. Until then, check this out...  |

| @Blackhawk273 Congrats on your 9.4 sale! I'm sure you were pretty stoked with the 12k. After doing some research, I think @flanders is right; this book could be waaaay up there in value. The funny thing is, I would have never known if it hadn't come back mislabled as facsimile. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by HulkSmash It's not an error, more so cost savings or laziness. Alot of newsstands that late in Marvels newsstand life cycle had the name of a differing book in the barcode. I remember reading an article that to keep costs down they used a "borrowed" upc label. A lot of my newsstands and duplicates I've posted in the modern newstand thread showcase this. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Puckster From what I've heard, CGC will actually blackball you and forbid you from using their service if you pull a stunt like that. I recently posted a grading screw-up from CGC on this forum and nowhere else, and a couple days later, I got a call from a CGC rep offering to fix the problem for free and give me a $100 credit. I think the "rare" claim is amusing. I've had a bunch of errors from them! There's nothing 'rare' about it! |

Quote:Originally Posted by power_struggle55they have QC issues unaddressed after many years of customer grievances (Newton rings) and my experience with CGC slabs that I have purchased has been less than satisfactory. I believe I have one left I sold and traded the others. I know; but the book not the slab, but I should be comfortable with the device(s) protecting that book. That said; I’ve also been apprehensive of submitting to CBCS. CBCS has yet to deliver bare ass minimum CS. Our only support after coming here is a lone Mod. I have 10 small potato books waiting in the wings just because I don’t have time to deal with any issues and I have yet to confirm how I get Express Pressing. I could probably have my books back by the time they fix CS, but irrational uncertainty is outweighing rational thought; the former is tipping the scales. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bender3455 What tier did you submit it under? The value discrepancy between these 2 books is thousands even without newsstand designation. Should’ve been a walk-thru. I’ll also use this as another chance to plead with CBCS @sborock to recognize newsstand editions past 1999! It’s becoming big money differences for key issues. |

Quote:Originally Posted by power_struggle55 I am at such a loss. I can understand things like screwing up a 2nd vs. 3rd printing or a variant on a book with a dozen+ variants, but Superman for Batman and vice versa? Was it 'bring your kid to work' day at CGC and someone thought letting illiterate tykes slab a few comics would make for a bonding experience? |

Quote:Originally Posted by Byrdibyrd facsmile vs regular....I can get a little. you have to pay close attention (red marvel box, size of barcode, etc) but there is no excuse. Its your job to look at tiny details. but mixing up what comic goes in what? I mean clearly that batman goes in the batman slab...and superman in the superman. issue # maybe...but series? |

| @power_struggle55 I agree, if grading comics was my job, it seems there'd be a simple checklist I follow after grading a book to make sure everything lines up. | ||

| Poop happens, and everyone's poop stinks. It all results in the owner having to resend the slab if they want it fixed. I seriously doubt anyone here ever did so with great big bright heart-warming smiles on their face. For the record, I'm not against the informative intent of the thread. It's definitely something to look for. And I'll readily admit their poop is runnier these days. This is just a reminder that the same mistakes happen here, and perhaps for the same reasons. |

| Anyone care to disclose their observations of percentage of errors between the 2 based on their personal submissions? Everyone makes mistakes, but there's this concept called probabilities. I use both companies and it is not even close.... not even close from what I have obtained from both. I have been on the CBCS frustration/anger train for 3 weeks now; and they deserve it. But the probability and likelihood of a quality delivered product from CBCS is not one of the reasons |
