Are These Actually Double Covers or a Label Error?19006

Quote:Originally Posted by Sigur_Ros I made no such claim. I've been using the term "loophole", which is a synonym of "flaw" or "glitch". I simply said it's possible people are taking advantage of the loophole/glitch not that they definitely were. Regardless, if it's just a glitch, temporary or not, hopefully it has been or will be fixed. Even if that glitch is that they failed to complete the labels and grading notes with separate grades for each cover. |

Even if that glitch is that they failed to complete the labels and grading notes with separate grades for each cover. This is what I suspect is going on. Whoever does the data entry for labels has been forgetting that double covers have the little extra bit added on. |

I guess we can safely say that someone didn't get the memo. ![]() |

Quote:Originally Posted by Byrdibyrd Definitely possible. But both the label and the grading notes being empty makes me wonder if it's a bit more than that. The one thing we can all agree on is the label and grading notes are incomplete and the grading notes are if it's really a double cover or not. Even regular 9.8s should have at least a grading comment. Why is it not a 9.9+? I realize there's a backlog, but hire some more people then! It takes just a second or two to add "Slight blunting of spine". |

Loophole isn’t synonymous with glitch. The former implies some intent (exploitation of an opportunity) to avoid a rule. The latter is closer to error or aberration. My issue with your commentary are the constant inferences of bad actions/actors from likely innocent errors (or not). Quote: Originally Posted by trademarkcomics |

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC Well in my defense, I will say that a synonym of "loophole" is "flaw" and a synonym of "flaw" is "glitch". So they are at least related words. A loophole can be a glitch in a system that someone could take advantage of. But once again, we're getting off track worried about how I'm using the English language. Now I seem to remember why I don't post here much. |

Quote:Originally Posted by trademarkcomics What you want is everyone to agree that the seller is either a “Boomer” or trying to scam people through this “loophole” they somehow stumbled upon. Must apply to anyone selling these books without the expected notes because everyone is informed on double cover label protocols and/or should be glued to their phones at all times (Boomers excepted). Fine, I agree. Carry on. |

Quote:Originally Posted by trademarkcomics Just wanted to make sure. I think this is a valid topic for discussion. If one of my double-covers came back to me (I have another one at CBCS right now) without grades for each cover, I would send it back and get it corrected. |
