Restored Blue Label Books - New Superhero Label Series 2 2

Question has been answered here this is not a change in labels but rather a mistake: 

 

Not really since the books I have seen clearly say they are restored, not conserved, on the slab. The issue is limited directly to the new slabs with the superhero themed graphics. I cant see how this is an error since it is limited to those series, and all of the restored in those series are treated in the same way.

The books posted in this thread say 'universal' in the header of the label but have resto noted...

Most of the entire world is a gimmick. Get rid of all the gimmicks and after that, you can compress what remains of the world down to the size of a golf ball.  

That aside, I usually don't like gimmicks, but IMO, the artistic labels are a winner. Very nice. We are comic book fans, right?

And an oversight can occur with any label, plain or otherwise.

I dont know about the size of a golf ball as the earth and the rocks, water, organic matter even compacted is much bigger than a golf ball....  

 

just busting your chops... by the way.

ive seen this before a few months ago someone mentioned it in another thread and I created another one about if the new superhero labels "marvel" ones dont have a purple "variant" for restored books. so this is not the first or second time this has come up.

I bumped that thread in Comics General with a link to this thread and some samples, hopefully a few people will see it before it gets buried by garbage posts.

CGC Confirmed that there is such a thing as a blue conserved label. That makes things rather confusing.

All conserved labels are blue. They have a grey strip across the top that says conserved.

Thanks, got confused between the strip and label itself. Though now that I check examples, I also see blue labels with purple strips for conserved.

That doesn't sound right, can you post a pic?

Sure thing

Here's another one.

I found it in this old CGC announcement: https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/4030/

Quote

Introduction of the Conservation Scale
Specific repairs done to improve the structural integrity and long-term preservation of a comic book will now be classified as “conservation” and designated with a blue / purple label. These repairs include tear seals, support, staple replacement, piece reattachment and certain kinds of cleaning.

Looks like an early version of the now blue/grey format that they've since done away with. Perhaps due to the stigma of purple? That's just me guessing though.

@Brittany M. Can you shed any light?

That's a hell of a cover! No artist info! To ne, it looks like Don Heck might have done either the pencils or/and inks.

Iger Shop. That is the name of the artist who did the cover.
