The color touch from a pen or marker will seep through the paper on the other side, always open the front cover and check inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now...imagine what that does to the paper. I removed some restoration off my forearm today... (click at your own risk) Spoiler ...now my forearm gets a Universal grade!

theCapraAegagrus Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I would say 'yes' to "professional" restoration. Amateur restoration is more case-by-case. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APDallas Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 I absolutely HATE that purple label. Is it possible to reverse a purple label to a blue one? Anyone have any examples? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's only one foolproof way to get rid of a purple label for sure: sell it and buy a blue label.

gadzukes Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Here's an example of a Dark Mysteries 3 I sent in to CGC. When I got it back it was a Purple label 7.0. I got the graders notes and there was some glue at the top of the spine. I popped it out of the slab, carefully scraped the glue off (which was sealing a tiny 3/16" tear at the top of the spine) and sent it back in to CGC. It came back as a 7.0 Blue label.
