Looks like it should read as a Chromium Cover like this one on eBay:

This is getting really bad. I've been sending between 2-4 books a month back to CGC for label correction . They call it Quality Control, but I find that it's the quality control that's making the errors.

It's a REAL PITA to have to package those back up and ship them.

How do they afford all of Quality Control's *SQUEE* ups?

Guess that's why they went up on prices. :lol:

:mad:

Next Comic Con... I' m suggesting they get Quality Control for their Quality Control.

Just straight up ridiculous.

Get a Lawyer to write up your conditions and make cgc sign it if they want your buisness. I'd say my time is valuable to 5.00 a day for any time obove the norm. If they f up they pay you per day for their mistake. And Pay for shipping to and fro. If they f up 5 times in one year it's going to cost them one free grade each time. If they do ten in a year you get 50% off the next six months of grades.
Business should be held liable if they f up and so far they have absolutely no repercussions.
In the regular buisness world. Like in restaurants people would just stop going and the restaurant has no buisness.

You better charge more than $5 book to offset lawyers fees!

Okay good luck getting a lawyer to spend their time on this, and even better luck getting your foot in the door to CGC's meeting rooms.

Don't sell it! :o

It's the rare normal red/gold error variant that is not a variant (but sort of also is) which is impossible find (because it doesn't exist)!

A wonderful addition to your Turok collection! :lol:

That's a tiny error compared to this screw up:

If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

That is mind blowing, lucky the guy who got them by mistake was honest about it.
