If the trend is married books (centerfold, a couple wraps) get substantially lower prices than blue label, I certainly hope it continues.  It's one thing with trimming, or extensive color touch, pieces added...but married pages?  Who cares?

Eh to each their own, I don’t see it as much different than restoration... it’s manipulation of the original book to bring it back to its “original” state.  An argument for another thread for sure.

 But I understand it only takes a certain percentage of people in the market to feel as you do to push the prices up over restored copies.

I guess I look at it like a classic car.  If you're replacing a door on a '69 Camaro, and you use a door from a junked '69 Camaro, it's essentially OEM parts.

I’ll take it 👍🏻  Thank you Mike.

But my Batman 1 with a married cover came back with a green qualified and not purple resto label. Would this be different?

I’ve always seen green labels for married covers and centerfolds, given no other restoration was done. 

Well, from what I am reading here, it would appear that CGC really needs to update their website with respect to what constitutes restorative work then.  Especially since the link to their restoration grading scale clearly lists married covers or pages as falling under their restoration repairs category.

Mailed and on its way to CA

The green/yellow label is a relatively new thing.  I think this comic may have been graded before green/yellow existed.  I have a cap 4 that was a green label 3.0 (missing pages), that I then had signed by stan lee, so it came back a yellow label 0.5 because the green/yellow label didn't exist at that time.

Also, I thought all tape was treated equally now, archival or not?  Is that not the case?
