No large grade in the upper left? 0

Had anyone ever seen a CGC label without the large grade numbers?

yes, these are just the earliest cgc comics.  Nothing better or worse about them.  You can google 'old label cgc' or search on ebay to find a zillion more examples.

Some would say they have "old label goodness."

And the even more rare "Red Label Goodness"

Why not

CGC books were GOLD back in the day even for lame good for nothing books.

Lots of money to be made.

I really do love the look of the old label. What was the reason behind the switch? I could never find an explanation behind it.

the retail side of selling CGC books greatly appreciates the larger grade number. In fact it could be even bigger so that your potential buyer can read the grade from across your table at a comic show.

Yeah I'm an insufficiently_thoughtful_person. That's pretty obvious. I do still like the look of the old label, purely from the purchaser's perspective.

That label was from the era when I sent in 4 books, only to have 2 returned unslabbed, with no explanation.   I called them up, and was told to send the two back in, which were then slabbed.   One was a Batman 227 that came back a 9.0.   Wish I still had it.   I've never sent anything in since.
