Grrrrader notes

I'm not a fan of the fees for the notes, but I also do not really use the service nor have I required it in the past. I personally feel these should be included with any purple label submission (the description of the S/A on the label is sometimes clear, sometimes not).

What I fear is that somehow people will start pushing these into the costs of a book at resale. I've seen some price snobbery about CGC cases and labels. The grade is for the BOOK. If the case is uncracked and unopened, it doesn't matter if it has a scrape or scuff or hell stickers and magic marker all over it (side note, I've stopped using comic link due to the stickers I've had on the cases. I don't like the look and find them a pain to take off) but the book's VALUE is still the same. A 9.8 copy of Hulk 181 is the same whether or not it has a scuff on the case. If the notes are registered and stored with CGC, I don't want to see people trying to jack up prices because they included a print copy of the notes.

So while people are debating the cost and act of being charged for these, I'm asking for people to look down the road at some of the downsides possible for books.

However, I know I will be getting notes on a few of my 4-6.5 range books to help educate myself better on some of the grading process.
