Is this Bloodshot Platinum 0 labeled Correctly

Post by magnus20009 »

There is a Bloodshot 0 CGC 9.8 up on eBay for $8,000 (multiples higher than any has ever sold for) currently but I am wondering if CGC has labeled the book correctly. Is it really a Platinum book or a manufacturing error. Here is a scan of the book for sale:

But I always thought in the Platinum books the logo box was platinum.

Is this just a case of CGC mislabling yet another Valiant book where it should be noted as a manufacturing error not a platinum book? (Tons of VEI books with their multiple covers are mislabeled). The seller also has a manufacturing error Ninjak up for $5,000 ( :? ) but at least CGC labels it as a manufacturing error.

That is a $45 book. What a disastrous label error.

Here is my platinum book:

It should probably just say "MANUFACTURING ERROR" and not label it as "Gold Edition" on the right hand side either.

Like this one....

It doesn't really look like it was "manufactured with partial silver ink printed on interior cover."

It's hard to tell from the pic but doesn't it look more like the main cover is lacking some ink?

The cover price is a pretty good indicator that this isn’t anything special.

Correct, that 9.6 has no inner silver layer for the front/back covers making the outer cover layer look translucent.

Is the seller a board member?
Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age!

I did the same. CGC really should be notified too that they mislabeled this book.
