Drbearsec Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Heathen #1 Hand Numbered I was looking to buy a copy of the hand numbered limited edition heathen 1 variant from eBay. I was wondering how Hand numbered worked with CGC grading. Some resellers are selling with CGC grading included in price (book is a preorder) and others are selling just the book. If the numbering isn't CGC witnessed, does that then mean the book would get a green label rather than blue? Worse, would the grading be downscored cause of the "writing on the book"? Any insight would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschmidt Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 When you get a green label, the defect that causes the book to end up in said green label holder is ignored for the purposes of grading. An unverified cover signature on a book in green label slab, for instance, will never affect the CGC grade of the book. Unless you're picking up a hand numbered book directly from the artist or publisher booth at a show with a CGC witness in tow, your hand numbered book will get a qualified label by default.

Drbearsec Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Thanks. I'll have to decide if I want to spend the extra to buy the one from the guy submitting to CGC for SS or not. Decisions decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
