Hello all! Im sure this has been brought up overtime, but i am just wondering if peeling thr digital code would lower the grade of a comic book?

If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8. xkonk private msg quote post Address this user
If you had a 9.8 with a pulled sticker, it's a 9.6. Below that I don't think (but am not positive) that it matters.

A few threads you can read through: https://forum.cbcscomics.com/topic/619/page/1/marvel-digital-stickers-and-cbcs-grade/

So if i have a signed comic with a peeled code and submit it for a verified signature, would it still come back with a yellow label?

I'm sure CBCS does it differently, but there are 9.8s with CGC that read "DIGITAL CODE REMOVED" under title and issue.

There are ways to replace and reattach digital code sticker inserts. The code itself is on the book, not the sticker. You would need a donor book's insert and utilizing methods (not discussed here as that would be techniques) about cleaning and pressing. This falls under the gray area of conservation/restoration, if caught.

I'm fairly certain that the highest grade CBCS will give a comic with the code removed is 9.6. As for the label, if the signature is verified, it will have a yellow label.

I hate these “codes”, (stickers). I feel like if someone thought they could get a 9.8 without one let it go. I’ve finally figured it out so it’s not necessary but do you have a label pic where it’s mentioned?

I don't personally. All of my comics have the code inserts

Lol, mine do as well but I was just sayin. Also I didn't fully read where you said "I'm sure CBCS does it differently". I still don't know what green and purple labels are for. Is it for Incredible Hulk books?

Digital code label removed refers to cases where the book does not contain a code (ie it is missing). If you redeem digital code and it is still there in the book at time of slabbing, there will not be a note.

Okay next question, is there a better way to check that status of a submitted book? Under my profile for submissions it just says "submitted".

The code is on the book, not the sticker.
