- A copy of the reproduced acetate value stamp by Trimpe had to be submitted for us for acceptance, before we certify.




So it's all ok! dontcha see?

I wonder when he will say.....
"...and we have been in contact with Marvel and here is their approval."

Uhmmm....*looks at his watch*.....I am still waiting? Marvel...are you listening? Or is it that CGC now dictates your publishing rules?

smh

I'm not sure Marvel can really say anything. Isn't this similar to modifying vehicles? If you modify a Chevy to add a spoiler and mag wheels and sell it can Chevy stop you or say something about it? not sure...

Chevy can say something if you claim that it's a special authorised Chevy upgrade. As soon as you say Chevy had anything to do with and it wasn't ALL just you, then Chevy can step in and demand you not associate their brand with your garage mods.

That being said, as soon as the comic was considered an 'official' variant, that implies consent from the publisher. The publisher can say something unless there's something else in play, like a precedent having already been set where a merchant was allowed to do something similar in the past with no repercussions.

Completely agree.
I tried that explanation at the other forum and they went off on me
They thought I was defending this.
Their biggest argument was that there are 750 of these and apparently a sketch can only be one-of-a-kind, which is of course untrue. Think I mentioned it earlier in this thread too. But yea, it's the same as sketching these things on the book... but done better.

It's not the same as sketching on an existing cover. It's the same as sketching on a piece of paper and attaching it to an already published book with additional staples. If you want to go the sketch route, and that is a big if, then the label should have at least been yellow. The yellow label itself is a qualified label giving the book a grade by discounting the art or signature applied to it.

When the acetate is closed and you see the flags, it would look similar to if someone sketched them on. A remarque. That's what I'm saying.

I have a gold coin that when the foil wrapper is on it it looks like a real gold doubloon. However, if you take foil wrapper off, it's just chocolate... or a condom. I sometimes get them mixed up.

They might taste the same but you can tell them apart by texture.
