Yes, especially since this only applies in the case of GA books and as far as I am aware, the Amazing Spidey run of books are not considered to be GA books the last time I checked.  

It does not specify that it only applies to GA books in the FAQ.  It just says at CGC's sole discretion.  It also says that trimming will always be given a restored label.

Dylan, 

Actually they have been here on the boards and I remember in some cases where the auction house either removed the book or at least notated the label error in the description.  

 

Yup, HA notes it all the time

I just check on their recent auctions and there's an example for all of it:

Small colour touch on GA book with blue label

Small colour touch on GA book with purple label

https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/plastic-man-51-quality-1955-cgc-apparent-vf-80-slight-c-1-white-pages/p/122031-35013.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515

And just to cover all bases, small amount of colour touch along with trimming and reinforcement on CBCS book

https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/world-s-finest-comics-66-dc-1953-cbcs-restored-fn-60-slight-moderate-off-white-to-white-pages/p/122031-53022.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515

 

All written in the book description. So the comparison with HA is ....

If he digs the hole any deeper he's going to need the Enterprise to beam him out of it

CGC did this not me, whether you agree with the resto being additive or not. Me and one other guy in the world can speak better to that better than anyone including CGC because we opened up the comics at the staples to remove some resto and see if it should be, nobody else has opened them.

Can you explain this more clearly? Did you disassemble the book and remove some resto?

you spelled incorrect incorrect! But you get my point right?

It should be "you spelled incorrect incorrectly."  It's an adverb.  But an advanced thing, compared to lible vs. libel.

But on a comic book only objective level why 1955 comics but not 1956? Clearly this has nothing to do with comic books only money.

Umm... no ?

[badback83]

Label foul up or not.  CGC was paid to assess the book for grade and restoration.  They gave both assessments.  Whether you agree with what “restoration” is or is not, is irrelevant.  The label says some restoration has been done.  End of story.

[William-James88]

@The Lions Den I was wondering how many comics like this may be out there. Assuming there wasn't a frenzy of malevolant individuals who took advantage of the blue character label mix up to slab restored books, how many times do you think such a mix up happened? From your experience, what percentage of SA books sent in for grading get a restored grade? And what do you imagine would be the volume of SA Marvel books sent in during the time this mix up was happening?

Why is it only Golden Age Books? What is the difference between 1955 and 1956? This is age discrimination I tell you. What's next, classifying people by the color of their skin?!

FRIDAY THREAD, FRIDAY THREAD!!!

Forget national news coverage because THIS is some cringeworthy reading for sure!

For the record, if CGC put this in a purple label would anybody be having this conversation? So the key is THEY.

No but then it wouldn’t have given you the same opportunity to be deceptive and/or evasive at best.   

And “at best” is being kind.

I’d have to think so Christopher because he mentions also on page three of this very thread.  

“I and another party handled each of the books disassembled-CGC did not.”

Which I’ve been thinking about.  What’s the criteria?

[Domo Arigato]

I have read every post in this thread.

He dodges, deflects, and rambles about his qualifications almost as bad as Bob Beerbong used to when he was shafting people in here.

And frankly, I don't give a flying rat fart if any of you have had good dealings with him and if he has "cool books" for sale.

In my opinion, his actions are meant to maximize his profit at the expense of others in the hobby.  Absolutely disgusting.

If anyone disagrees.....you certainly have a right to your opinion......but please let me know.

I have a bag of hammers that would like to challenge you to an IQ test.

I'm a super ethical guy, who is pretty good at detecting paper stuff, whether it is resto, trimming, page count etc. 1 common mistake I see in this hobby is people counting both sides of the pages. How many pages don't have 2 sides? I'm not trying to change the topic but merely demonstrate my knowledge-I am condoning the standards that GCD, and many other main databases use. But as this goes, the person who shares the outside viewpoint often gets hunted down on boards threads, just like Galileo did about 500 years ago.

 

Although, I BELIEVE the earth revolves around the sun.

A super ethical guy would include restoration, trimming, etc in the auction description and in the auction title to make sure buyers didn't miss it.
You're not even close to that guy.
