Why is a Blue label better than a Purple?

[Sal]

keep it comming baby! i think your really clever and i really like to debate with you. i mean it as a compliment.im not pulling your chain.

 

man,they are tearing jason ewart apart in the general comics thread! i mean seroiusly. did you see that stuff

 

Yep, I've been following it since the beginning. It is looking pretty bad for him!

 

so are you going to apologise to all those people you blasted for blasting Jason earlier in the thread?

 

huh, are you?

 

i'm kidding, i'm kidding

 

I already apologized to Tim, but for some of the personal comments I made, not for taking the other side of the argument. I owe no one an apology for demanding proof, and as I said from the beginning, when I saw actual proof of wrongdoing, I'd do what I could to bring him down.

 

i said i was kidding!

Yeah, but you said it twice and you're such a clever [embarrassing lack of self control] that I believed there might be a chance that you were using a hidden double negative.

[Aman619]

ahhh, the old hidden double negative trick! If youre not careful, Itll get you every time!

But dont slightly restored books get the blue label anyway? mile high more fun 52,

the 7.5 action 1, and many more i can think off.They were not stigmatized.they both sold for over 150k!!! thats no stigma to me.

 

A1K;

 

You have just proven my point here with this statement. The stigmitization is not caused by the restoration itself, the stigmitization is caused by the colour of the label.

 

As I have stated many times in the past, a pure unrestored HG GA book will usually sell for many multiples to guide. A HG GA book with very slight resto residing in a blue label will often still sell for a nice premium over guide. A HG GA book with slight resto residing in a purple slab will almost in all cases sell only at a deep deep discount to guide.

 

Although the actual amount of resto between the second and third books in the above example may be very marginal, the difference in price is enormous. And therein lies the stigmitization caused by the colour of the label.

 

nicely put, Lou............i, for one, believe that you are correct and that Action1kid's example pretty clearly supports that viewpoint, whether he intended to or not.

 

i've thought all along that restored books have gotten the royal shaft due to the purple label. i would even go so far as to suggest that those who are so opposed to the color change take a step back and repeat these words a few times;

 

PLOD = PURPLE LABEL OF DEATH - i think the very acronym says more about how people REALLY feel than i could adequately summarize................

 

i'm looking forward to what CGC has come up with as it sounds fairly extensive.

[Forbush-Man]

PLOD = PURPLE LABEL OF DEATH - i think the very acronym says more about how people REALLY feel than i could adequately summarize................

 

PLOD = PURPLE LABEL OF DOOM. Doom as in "this book won't be flipped for much." Expresses the same sentiment.
