Quote:Originally Posted by ComicNinja0215 Yes, the problem with these is that the base comic with a retailer exclusive cover, approved by Marvel, was made in 2021. Then they later altered the base comic with an add-on, post-printing acetate cover that changed the originally approved artwork and added a political message (open to interpretation). |

| @Byrdibyrd That is bidding done so the seller doesn't sell it, I suspect they are all non paying bidders. And since eBay had removed a slab book on auction stating that it isn't a authorized marvel variant by the publisher.. The high bidders can refuse to pay stating that it's not a authorized marvel variant Because you can't sell unauthorized, counterfeit ect. Items on eBay |

| There is an uneasy truce in the CGC vs CBCS debate. For once, members from both communities are united against an atrocity that all hope will not be repeated. That atrocity was giving a universal blue label to a number of comics without grading them accordingly to long established and accepted guidelines. While there are many factors at play in this current fiasco, this is something that unites our small community of graded comic book devotees. Remember this time. One day, your grandkids may ask what you did during this era.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by SGT_Comics Thanks for the response SGT. Yes, it is that definition. I agree. I was just adding that being a vinyl collector, the term "acetate" is much different, but more importantly, for vinyl it is a 1st pressing....whereas in the comic world, it is a clear piece of plastic (with or without any silkscreen print on it) and now is considered a variant. BS. If these books are just a clear plastic attached sheet....uhm....how does that make that book eve worth $100+? It is unfortunate that companies do this to grab money from newbies and others who think the limited side of a published comic makes the book special. SMH - that is just a idiotic manner to garner cash. IMO - one can put an "acetate" on a rare literary book, and all it does it give it an added line of protection...not additional rarity or even value. This does NOT qualify to be a blue label. Best regards, Tim |

| @Byrdibyrd personally I see it the opposite way. To me it looks like the community united to reject this book and the people peddling it. None of these books will end up selling at this rate, and by the time the hype dies down and the price plummets, the influences etc who bought tons of them will be left holding the bag for a book no one wants. | ||

If everyone is ticked off and we can all hang together and stick it to these supposed 'influencers' and their cronies, that would be crazy awesome. @ZosoRocks Dang, I want that second one, too! |

| The problem is “influencers” seek only exposure. Good or bad. Some of the biggest $s come through controversy. Sad but true. The best thing for the hobby is for people to act rationally and not sheeple. Unfortunately when social media is involved the herd of morons will always be large and willing. |

| just explaining this book to someone ( without including the drama around the way it was sold) is a chore " its a facsimile print with a variant cover ( that in itself its nonsensical to me ) with another bootleg cover stapled on thats made by store owner to move stock ( not endorsed by Marvel) but has been graded as if it were and was able to sell at $85 + a its grading higher than the original book ever did. " seriously... whoever is listening would glaze over in the first few seconds . |
