There's nothing wrong with cracking out a book. I would keep the label to preserve the pedigree if it didn't come with a certificate.

I kept the label but it’s probably worthless now since it’s been opened.

“Effort = money” quoth Dr. Watson

Truer words are never spoken. Jerry Spence, a famous attorney said, “People are only as honest as they can afford to be.”
I strongly suspect that is true regarding the alleged “Promise” books. That advice certainly holds true with the CGC book owners bashing CBCS. I have yet to see anyone anywhere state that CBCS is more lax in its grading. Indeed the opposite is true. The internet is replete with examples of CGC errors, while (with some exceptions of course) CBCS grading is recognized as solid and even stricter by the vast majority of those commenting. What does this mean? Well if you own CGC books but the other company has a better record of strict grading that undermines the value of your CGC label. Hence the constant posturing that CGC is somehow “better” when the evidence is otherwise. When I sent in books to be graded I had to choose which company and after researching both chose the one with the best overall reputation. I guess my point is that Mr. Spence’s advice has never proven false. We may never know the truth about the Promise pedigree because of the money involved.

No, it isn't. Pedigreed comics weren't born into a slab.

Someone shared this link before. It has a brief history of each of the Pedigrees. I enjoyed reading it and saved the link:

Lawyers can be fairly profound when you catch them in that brief moment of honest introspection.
