Who decides what goes on a CGC label (1st appearances, deaths, etc)? 0

[DocGo]

I’ve attempted to ask this question a few times via the regular CGC Comics website but it never gets answered. There’s a series I follow that needs additions and some of the label notations that currently exist are wrong. Please don’t tell me it’s up to the grader as this is not a proper answer. Thanks!

Good afternoon,

Unfortunately, that is the answer.  The graders make the final determination on what appears on the label.  

If you do not see a First Appearance notation that you believe should be noted, you may request it.  To request a first appearance update or inclusion of other information to the current label, please include a note both on your printed submission form and also attached to the bag of the specific book (post-it on comic bag) and our graders will review and make a determination on that request during the grading process. 

Thank you!

So you can only request a new detail to be added if you’re actually having the book graded? The Bone series will increase in popularity once the Netflix series begins to air and there are four or five books that need “1st appearance of, death of, etc”. I can only submit this to a grader and pray he/she puts in on the book?

Seems reasonable to be able to ask CGC for a request like this...and reasonable for CGC to consider including it or not 

[Jennifer F.]

Unfortunately, yes, you can only request that if you are submitting the book to us for grading.  When the graders examine the book, that is when they will research your request and see if they agree and can put that on the label.  

Thanks!

Ironically if you do put that info on the slab from now on he'll want his reholdered for free 

Who are you talking about?

So they will do all the research by just looking at the book being graded or looking at the entire series? I ask because I have a book from the series that I’d like to get reholdered and it has the first appearances of the two major villains in the series. This detail is presently not included on the label. Thanks Jennifer.

So if CGC doesn't put it on the label it never happened?

If you could answer this @Jennifer F. I’d appreciate it. Also, can a label be given new details if the book is just being reholdered? Thanks!

Hi, you can certainly put in a request if you are submitting it for a reholder and notate you would like that added to the label and the graders will review.

Thanks!
