How does this happen ?


Alex Schomburg was generally recognised as the cover artist, this has since been amended and it is now believed that Syd Shores was the sole artist. Shores also did most of the interior artwork. Any resident expert on Golden Age artists out there to add to this?

To me it is clearly Schomburg..


Well, THAT clears it up.

fwiw GCD lists Shores as the artist, but seems unclear on the inker.

Ouch, that's a shame. I must say if I got that book back safe and sound amidst the current state of things, I wouldn't have sent it back, much less a third time.

I know you said you cracked it but I'm curious, did the 3rd label say Schomburg or Shores?

Okay - so the cover artist is in dispute. So CBCS may not have made a mistake.

Submitter / customer’s opinion on what the label should say doesn’t matter. The fact CGC labels otherwise doesn’t matter.

The above calls into question multiple submissions and “correction” requests.

It may call into question the cause of the damage - because redoing a process on an older imperfect book is always a risk.

Of course it doesn’t excuse anything exactly but perhaps a slightly different balance of facts here?

I am a big advocate of customer service and so again not taking sides but saying one’s opinion of an artist should govern a third party’s certification is a bit… odd.

Why is the OP too lazy to post a couple photos that he supposedly has already sent to CBCS? It would literally take him less than 30 seconds to do. Not posting photos is making him look like an old fraud.

For me, anyone who comes in reasonable and rational gets the benefit of the doubt. Anyone who comes in hot and using accusatory and inflammatory language automatically loses the benefit of the doubt and they need to be ready to defend everything they said. The title of the thread is usually a tipoff.

The one shown states "cover:Alex Schomburg & Syd Shores"

Please refer to the original post and reason:
"Background .. This book Cap #29, had been submitted THREE TIMES to get the label corrected, it is an Alex Shomburg cover, not Syd Shores." This whole exercise was undertaken so that the submitter could get a "corrected" label. I surmise that CBCS/CGC may know better the actual cover artist(s) given that it is an integral part of their remit.

If that was the case CBCS would've told the customer not to resubmit the comic because the label would remain unchanged.

@Dawnstar - looking at the 2nd pic it listed both.

@RRO I know.

Note that CGC agrees with the OP (or historically has). So there may be a basis for confusion.

My only point is that you cannot reasonably force a third party certifier to change their determination if something is indeed disputed. It would get rid of the whole point of third party certification - might as well make your own label and give your own grade.

According to Marvel Shomburg penciled the cover, Shores penciled the stories, inks by Alascia. But it may remain unclear as to when they worked/which covers they worked together. After all it happened quite a bit ago.clickable text

I think this is partly why I am a minimalist on Label content.
I don't know why artist/writers/inkers or 1st appearance, or 1st cameo, need to be on the label for a company who's mission statement is grading a comic.

I recognize I'm in the minority, but the labels could be wrong/disputed. As for the correctness of 1st appearances - I won't even go there, nor the implications when it is wrong or disputed.

The grade number and verified/witnessed is within the mission statement of both grading companies and what both are purportedly good at.
If one wants 1st appearance, who did the cover, who did the inks, who did writing, etc... - consult google.

Other than the damage on this book, this thread has partly become two pages worth of Finkel or Einhorn

I like having that information on the label but you are 100% correct in asking why it's even there. We are talking about grading companies...not comic historians (even though they may (or may not) know their stuff). Its a valid observation. 🍻

All good points. However; as listing cover artists is the norm on slabbed comics the OP is justified in expecting an accurate portrayal of such things.

Good point. Maybe omit the information when information is disputed? I dunno.

Bet the book doesn't go back a 4th time for a more accurate label in terms of grading.

@southerncross @Gaard - And furthermore, why just a partial pick of the intact CBCS encasement. I mean come on, surely there was a photo of the original encasement showing the "incorrect" label that would also reflect the before condition of the "damaged" comic. And for that matter, the second re-submission. I reiterate, something is not right here and does add up.
