I see that CGC is placing “1st Horror Comic Book” on the label of Eerie Comics #1:

I would like to know if CGC can place “1st Crime Comic” on the label for Crime Does Not Pay #22 since this issue is universally recognized (see Overstreet) as the first crime comic book? 
From Wikipedia:

Crime comics is a genre of Americancomic books and format of crime fiction. The genre was originally popular in the late 1940s and early 1950s and is marked by a moralistic editorial tone and graphic depictions of violence and criminal activity. Crime comics began in 1942 with the publication of Crime Does Not Paypublished by Lev Gleason Publicationsand edited by Charles Biro. 
 

Crime Does Not Pay starts with issue #22.

Thanks!
