Isn't all the material that was in Adventures on the Planet of the Apes simply colored versions of the Planet of the Apes B&W magazine? I'd rather get the stories in their original form. Art by guys like Ploog and Alcala look great in black and white!

I think most of us here actually like to read our comics, rather than collect the mintiest, freshiest copy trapped forever in a piece of plastic, but for those poor fools who fell for the scam, this has to be upsetting!

CGC slabbing scandal rocks the collecting world
"Slab-gate"

By Heidi MacDonald


While The Beat doesn’t often cover the high stakes world of collecting super valuable comics, a slabbing scandal has rocked this corner of comics that threatens the very foundations of trust that world is built on.

The scandal involves CGC (Certified Guaranty Company), the company that rigorously grades and then slabs (encases in plastic) comics for collectors, complete with a seal of authenticity. You’ve undoubtedly seen their booths at tables at cons, and many collectors have availed themselves of CGC’s services to grade their comics for bragging rights and resale. During the pandemic, collecting all kinds of stuff got super hot, and prices soared. There is a whole giant world of websites, apps, YouTube channels and other companies that take part in the collecting world – and it’s fair to say it’s another multi-million dollar facet of the industry: the aftermarket.

Personally I find the idea of slabbing anything antithetical to my nature. I like to read comics and hold trading cards. And certainly, you can argue that the whole idea of “collectibility” has led to the variant plague and created an ecosystem that damages the comics industry. But comics collecting as a hobby is pretty foundational to comics history as well, so with this in mind, let’s begin.

Details of the “CGC Scandal” as it’s known (I guess Slab-gate was taken), broke over the Christmas holiday and it has mostly been covered in YouTube videos. Even a brief dive into writing about it became very time consuming and made me quickly learn such terms as “grade and trade” “GPA for CGC” and “Mark Jewelers variant.” Also “heat gun.” So what follows is certainly a laypersons view of a very complicated matter. However, I’ve spoken to a few trusted friend who straddle both worlds who tell me this is a serious development, so I’ll do my best. Since I am not a native speaker of the language in which the scandal has been talked about, I may have a few points wrong – I’m open for corrections.

Okay here’s the short version: a scammer (possibly more than one scammer) would buy a valuable comic in a high grade, say a 9.8 Hulk #181 (first Wolverine) and send it to CGC to grade, authenticate and slab. Then, using various tools, they would open the slab, swap in a lesser grade comic, then send THAT comic to CGC to be “reholdered” in a new slab and then sell the less valuable comic at the first price. A comic can be reholdered when the slab is damaged, hence the loophole.

I didn't click the link, but I can imagine the quotes from outraged collectors.

"At first I was mad, but then I realized I'll never take the comic out of the slab anyway, so ... really it could just be the cover wrapped around some blank loose leaf for all that it matters. And then I became completely zen about the whole thing."

Yes, I feel quite bad for them. I'm glad my post conveyed that.

She doesn't really bother to talk to any of the saps- I mean, victims! But she does mention that slabbed comics such as Spider-Man 252, with the first appearance of the black costume, sold for over $15,000 (Why? WHY? WHY?) so I doubt they are quite as sanguine about it as you suggest, Mr. Doot.

Interesting article. I'd never heard of "Mark Jewelers" variants. Apparently if a comic book has a rare four-page ad insert for a particular company that used to advertise a lot around military bases, it can add thousands to the value of the comic! It's amazing what people will consider worth paying more for when it comes to collectibles. Anything rare and different, I guess, regardless of what the difference may be.

I can see a scandal like this really shaking collector confidence. It reminds me a bit of the rumors that Salvador Dali, late in life, put is his Juan Hancock on thousands and thousands of sheets of collectible-grade printing paper for $20 apiece. Printers stockpiled them until he died, then started turning out thousands of "limited-edition Dali prints" that had no connection with Dali other than a signature. When I worked for a university interlibrary loan department our most-requested single item was an official catalog of all recognized Dali prints. People took the rumors seriously enough that they were constantly checking to see if their Dali prints were real. Advertisers selling Dali prints were very careful to call them "original works signed by Dali," since there was no guarantee of anything other than the signature actually being from Dali.

One of the posters in the article's comments section raised some plausible-sounding concerns about CGC possibly being guilty of "grade inflation" when they grade and slab comics. And also asserted that their transparent slabs don't have UV protection, which if so means that collectors who display their slabbed copies are going to have them fade over time from the light. By the time they realize what's happening, it'll be too late.

No, the "Mark Jewelers" variants only inflate the price that much for CGC collectors. If you check online back issue stores such as MyComicShop.com and compare the selling price for regular and "Mark Jewelers" printings, you'll see (maybe) a dollar or two difference. There's a huge difference between collecting comics and collecting plastic tombs for paper.

I saw those all the time but never knew they were unique to military bases! I just commented to my wife about them a week or so ago, wondering why they thought kids and geeks were a good audience for jewelry ads.

If I ever bought a back issue that had those ads, I used to pull them out and throw them away. Whoops. :)

The thing is, if you buy it slabbed, there's no way for you to tell whether it contains the Mark Jewelers insert or not.

Seems like I vaguely recall seeing something that looked like what Hanzo posted just now in a comic. Maybe I've unwittingly got a Mark Jewelers variant somewhere in my little comics collection.
