I realize most of us lived it, so we don't need a reference... but I also added the dates of usage, which most people can't remember off the top of their heads.

This is a nice thread to show ebayers or ANY buyer that doesn't know about labels, or as you say lived it!

Good Work @valiantman

you get extra credit for using the same book in all the examples

I noticed that one of the examples is OFF-WHITE to WHITE pages, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not the same book.

Ehh that's trivial. Makes it easy to see where the fields are located in the different iterations since the data is the same

I actually wanted to know about this recently. Thanks!

The last one has Newton Rings....

I think I know the answer to this question, but, does CGC upgrade the label to their latest if you submit slabs for reholder?

[seanfingh]

No, they keep a stockpile of the old labels and never use them except when someone sends in a re-holder.

Jackwagon.

Edit: I was asking if they re-use the current label as opposed to making a new one. Lol.

I'm sorry - sarcasm is the last resort of a weak intellect. But sometimes I just can't help it.

Thanks for another cool post OP - neat to see, especially with same book reference?

I didn't want different books to be a distraction or to cause any debates.  Straightforward labels for the same book through the CGC timeline.

This was a great thread with nice visuals.  Do you happen to know the dates when CGC went without the inner well?  I think it was only a few months, but it would be nice information to add to this thread for those of us older members who have poor memories.  Thanks, Paul~

I just cracked out a "post April 2016" and a "pre April 2016" a couple days ago.

The new slabs are a biatch to crack, even using the long slim screw-driver method.

How come no brief "creep-engine" slab?  Or do we figure all those got cracked out?  I know all mine were, but I did just receive one from a board purchase this last year.  It was all creeped up, but sprang back to flat after liberation.

I believe it was about two months, so roughly April 2016 to June 2016.

Great thread and a great book to use as an example.  Magnus #1 is a great read; in fact Steel Nation is a fantastic story arc - one of the best of the early '90s.
