So now that people have had many of their books recently re-holdered for the new slab, here's another reason to resubmit.

Brilliant marketing move.

People spend $10+ on a box of 20-count 4"-long paper cylinders full of poison that they can suck into their lungs with fire, effectively committing years worth of suicide, so...

Cigarettes were amazing.

That's a great point! I held off on most of mine since I had a feeling something like this was coming down after the Walking Dead labels. No way they'd just put out TWD labels and stop there.

But hey if people conclude the new labels look crappy it'll blow up in their face. I have faith though

I'm excited about this! I really like what they did with the Stan Lee labels, so this will be a cool edition.

I'm not sure? Is this what they'll look like??? There's no explanation. If this is what they look like then they don't work other than maybe the Iron Man. The Spider-Man design looks like how Larsen & Bagley drew him. It would only work with later copper age issues but definitely not anything silver or bronze!

I believe those are them

true they aren't as themed as I would of thought, but it appears that the characters will only be in the upper right of the label?

I'd be curious how they'll interweive the notes on the label with the upper right... I didn't see a finished label..

The artwork is better than I would have expected.  I wish they had gone with Alex Ross artwork though.

the thought may be though to keep it as generic as possible to go across ages.... of course that may or may not be but perhaps that's the reason for them not to be too fancy 

I agree the artwork is good and more an image that you regularly see of spidey on the inside of a book

Do you think that artwork would fit in with a silver age Ditko or early Romita cover? Personally I think it meshes much better with a modern book. Same goes for the rest of the labels. 

I guess I just had a more vintage theme in mind for what these labels would look like

Hopefully CGC is reading. A period correct image for each age is a great idea.

I agree that period specific sounds better, but no, the meshing may not be ideal....

I'm just thinking they tried to keep it generic, sometimes less is more and sometimes it looks like cutting corners...

I agree with copper and modern looking better though

Agreed! They won't do it but depicting the characters in a more accurate way in accordance with different artists over the ages would be great. Particularly with X-Men assuming they even do X-Men. A GSXM with a vintage themed artwork label would look great imo

Maybe not quite jumping the shark but might be nuking the fridge-

[Darkowl]

Surprised to see a Captain Marvel label and not a Wolverine label in that video (then again, it looks like they are trying to promote End Game).

I want a thanos label for my iron man 55 since he’s not on the cover.

how about instead of some silly gimmick like a new label, CGC just hire more staff so turnaround times aren't so terribly slow?

“silly gimmick” = new revenue stream

new revenue stream = more staff (?)

Here's my problem with these new labels and it's something that I just learned a month ago.

 

The problem is that these are limited editions. If you pay the fee for the custom label and down the road you need to reholder it you won't get the new label again even though you paid for it. Had a customer who paid for the Stan Lee label a few years back and they sent in a book to get cracked out and have a signature added. Well since CGC no longer offers the Stan Lee label they got the book back without the Stan label and they were pissed because no one ever told them the full details on these labels that if they were to ever go our of print you wouldn't be able to get the label again.

 

Lets say you go to sell a book down the road and it has the customer Spider-Man label and the slab gets damaged in shipping...you can't get the SM label. Or you have this as a yellow label and eventually want to crack the slab to add someone else.

 

If you pay for a custom label you should ALWAYS have that label going forward on that book even if no new books can get that label.
