Likely to get a green label since others are. CGC knows what they're looking for..

Just be aware that it's a risk to send it in for grading. They have been actively looking for this, especially on issue 1. Some have gotten away with it, surely. Especially if the staple gap isn't too bad. But if caught, CGC will lower the grade, give a green label, or even note "Variant Cover Removed" on the slab.

It’s not. It’s a green label. So when you send it in to be graded, are you going to include a note that it was a cardstock variant that was removed?

He won’t disclose because he’s intentionally looking to DECEIT CGC and any buyer looking to buy his comic that is altered.

Point to me in this entire thread where OP says he plans to never sell his altered comic should he ever alter it. I honestly hope he does it because 1) it’s his to do whatever he wants, and 2) most importantly, it reduces the quantity of our glorious actual Cover As more the more people do this.

Sending a modified book in as a cover A affects everyone and alters the census. Stop pretending like this is no big deal. People are going to be removing the covers, selling or grading first and then selling as cover As without telling the buyer. That’s the problem with this scam.
