Dark Knight Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 1 hour ago, Brittany M. said: The Marvel labels are only for Universal and Signature Series books. They are not for Restoration or Qualified books. Those books should have Purple Restoration labels. Please send them back in and I will have all the labels fixed immediately. Email: bmcmanus@cgccomics.com Makes sense, but you think there will be less errors about this moving forward though? I think a few will still slip through the cracks. Doubt that everyone who has or have recently bought a new hero label with the restored book would re-submit for a purple label. I believe those people who gotten away with this would quickly sell them to maximize profits. Of course there are some good souls out there who would turn them back in for the appropriate label color. Krismusic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mephisto Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 These books all appear to have come from different submissions so who knows how many restored books sipped through the cracks like this. I agree Wpic fail. Regardless of these resto books slipping through the cracks I was not a fan of these labels to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababooey Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I was more concerned that they were allowing resto books in the custom labels, misusing the blue universals & compensating with resto notes. A handful of mislabeled books in the wild that got by QC isn't a big deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter to keep or sell. Honesty? I don't disagree, unfortunately that isn't always the first option for some. I found a few more marvel labels with trimmed and other defects. Simply stated, it was a poorly executed idea. Cool label graphics but poor execution. I just bought an ASM 6 with a Spidey label, that notes tape on cover. I clearly saw the tape, but now I wonder if the book may have gotten a green label, as I bought it prior to knowing about this snafu. ggovel and D84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we also discussed a 9.0 with tape once on this forum, not totally sure. So 8.0 is definitely within the realm of CGC tolerances for a blue label finding on a book with minor tape.

I've seen plenty of blue labels with that notation of "tape", maybe not quite that high of grade, but I don't think it belongs in a green label. CGC changed their designation on tape, now to only grade it as if it wasn't there and give it a blue label... Hope that helps!

I will still probably be looking to upgrade, if for nothing else, a better presenting copy within the year. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
