He said he had read this thread Stephen, and seemed genuinely interested in it all, in order to lock it down!

Seriously, just keep up the good work Steve!

Good news my pence brethren! 

Matt Nelson has read the relevant posts in this thread and has had a discussion with the grading team based on it's contents and my separate emails to him. He advised me earlier today that:

• CGC will no longer use the term "UK Edition" on their labels for any books (including reprints / repackaged books)
• In respect of the three known genuine price variants, CGC intend to use the following label descriptions going forward:
  • UK price variant
  • Canadian price variant
  • Australian price variant

I asked whether he would consider adding some further information on the CGC website relating to the differences between these price variants and other foreign reprints and he has invited me to put something forward which I am happy to do.

I think this is a great result and I'm grateful to Matt for not only taking the time out to hear our case but also for having the will to change CGCs labelling practices after all this time. 

Excellent stuff!

I have had these two books for over two years waiting for this moment. They are in the inner well but missing the outer hard shell. I am going to get these parcelled up this weekend and will send them via Scott's Collectables (as they style themselves. As they are two brothers surnamed Scott I would've placed the apostrophe after the "s": Scotts' Collectables meh). The current TATS are quoted as 30 days, so I'll show the finished books when they arrive back in Blighty.

Tried to get both photos the same size. I still haven't got the hang of this yet.

Niiiice. Not sure how long the change will take to bed in Stephen. They've only just decided on this and there's bound to be some operational changes needed. Fingers crossed you get the revised label

Now that's a point that I hadn't thought of. Perhaps it would be best to hang fire for a while.

Cheers Robert!

I believe that Brittany is going to post CGC's official position here in this thread in the next day or so - I may have misrepresented their intentions a little regarding the use of the "UK Edition" label in certain circumstances for non-price variants, which I'll let them explain rather than muddy the waters. But our new "UK/Canadian/Australian Price Variant" label position is secure.

On that, Matt advised this morning that:

"Starting Monday, we'll begin using the UK variant notation on all books in the grading room"

So I guess that you can dive in now Stephen! @Redshade 

Let's wait for the official wording now guys eh? (and gals / canines)
