Gruson Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I’m looking for this comic and saw this on eBay. I thought if there was color touch it could not be a blue label. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lions Den Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Except for Golden Age books like this one. This book actually looks like it had color touch removed at some point; maybe they missed a bit? I don't agree with giving it a blue label, but it's one of those things...

Yorick Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Even worse, there's restoration to remove restoration! All those scrape lines were once color-touched areas, and I'd imagine the cover was once held on with some restoration work. This should not be a blue label at all, but there is a serious conflict of interest going on with CCS and CGC in the same house.

Gruson Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 I’m actually looking for a low end blue label if anyone has a lead. Not a fake scraper wannabe blue like this one though. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Yeah, minor CT on GA gets a pass, though I disagree with that assessment. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Blue Bolt 112 graded by CGC as an 8.0 with "A very small amount of color touch on cover". It still has the purple label..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the difference is this; The book in the OP got restoration removal, and they couldn't remove all of it, so while a tiny amount remains it was intended to be an non-restored book. Any restoration on this book clearly won't improve the appearance much. In the case of an 8.0, I would think that any (professional) restoration improves the appearance of said book. I cannot speak for CGC, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
