CGC 9.2 S.S. error encapsulation of Magnus #5 Rai #1 facing forward (back cover faces forward in CGC case)

[Juki]

So, I just got back a CGC 9.2 Signature Signed (Shooter and Layton) Magnus Robot Fighter #5 flipbook that was encapsulated backwards.
Rai #1 (the back cover) is facing forward in the case and Magnus #5 is on the backside of the case (upside down). I have to say that I really like it!

I am just speculating.... but I think the error occurred because Jim Shooter double signed the book on both the front and back covers. So, when the encapsulator saw a signature on the Rai #1 side (back cover) he instinctively framed it backwards in the case without noticing the two signatures on the opposite side.

Of course the yellow label is still listed as “Magnus Robot Fighter #5.”

Sweet! ...and in 9.8 no less!!! I thought I had seen that before.... I wonder if the signature on the Rai #1 cover is what throws them off? I wouldn’t imagine that they would mount it either way at your request... would they? Hmmmm. The spine is on the left side either way... so Maybe there is a choice?

I don’t think they allow the 1993 Archer and Armstrong/Eternal Warrior #8 to be encased both ways because that would put the spine on the right side. So, I guess getting one back from CGC with the Eternal Warrior (back cover) encapsulated to the front would be a huge mistake.

I love these mistakes... I was able to find a Rai #3 mislabeled since they used the 1992 label for the 1991 flipside of Magnus #7.

Here is some pictures of the comic I received. I thought the error in mounting backwards in the CGC case may be because of the signature on both sides. But, seeing the one that Greg posted... maybe some of the people doing the encapsulating just are not familiar with VH1 flipbooks.
