Which book is Red Goblin first appearance?

There has been some debate on whether Amazing Spiderman #795 was the first appearance of the Red Goblin.  According to this article: “Norman Osborn has bonded with the Carnage symbiote in the final pages of The Amazing Spider-Man #795, transforming him into the Red Goblin”.  So what is CGC's position, did Osborne transform at the end of #795 into the Red Goblin regardless that the name Red Goblin was not used?  How will CGC label this book?

Great question!  I haven't read 796 yet, which is blowing up on eBay, but I just heard he doesn't appear in that one, either, even though everyone keeps saying it is his "first appearance."  (My LCS failed to pull it for me.  Probably because they wanted to sell it above cover price.)  Maybe th Red Goblin's first appearance will actually be 797?  (One of the variant covers for 797 has the Red Goblin.)  Or maybe it's 799, where "the mystery of the Red Goblin is finally revealed!"  Anyway, I reckon the industry won't know until collectively we decide, probably in six months or a year, by bidding up the issue with the true first appearance until it costs more than the other potential first appearances.
