For "Vampirella" Vol 7 #8 the blind bag shows the bag it came in not a cover pic.

If and when someone buys this comic in the future they need cover pics as the comic prob would no longer have the bag it came in. Also if sent to grade the bag would be removed, you cant have a graded value for a bagged item.

The problem with the blind bags is there is usually more than one cover possible inside the bag, so the inside photo cover would probably be different for the next bag that is open. Case in point are some of the Mark Spears bags which had over 70 different covers possible. I know some show the blind bag for the cover, and then list the covers inside the bag as another cover variation. Gun Honey books are some examples.

this has been discussed before. CPG needs to come up with a policy for Blind Bag books. Either 'no pics of bagged ones,' or 'pics of bagged and unbagged are ok.' I'd vote for no pics of bagged ones, since as noted, you can't assign a price to something you can't see to find on ebay etc sales till someone sells some unbagged ones, and a pic of a bagged one does no good, the bags are the same. 'course no matter where they post that, many pic submitters that don't look at the forums won't see it, leading to more noping and messages to educate them. not much they can do about that.
