. CGC is banking that one day the retired labels will become super collectible and then they will grade and slab the slab. Then sell another limited edition custom label on the slabbed slab, of course |

No, I'm lying, I actually can't see how you would interpret it that way. You're not silly like that. |

The custom labels don't really cause a negative reaction from me. I wouldn't pay for them or intentionally seek them out, but it would not affect my desire to purchase a slab either way. As someone pointed out with first appearances, a Wolverine label would be a pretty cool thing to have on Hulk 180. But I would not want a Wolverine label on Hulk 181. To me that would be like putting a "LEXUS" license plate frame on a Lexus car, or a "Porsche" license plate frame on a Porsche. It would be like the gift your child gives you for your new car. | ||

I know they say not to feed them, but... Quote: Originally Posted by BigRedOne1944 That's because, like most of them, it's half covered up by a tacky hologram that should be on the label itself.

I like custom labels. If they let me get a book I want at a slight discount because it puts some people off.. awesome. If I like how it looks too - double awesome! As for the CBCS vs CGC designs… I like the CBCS one cited up top more than most CGC ones. I only have one custom label (CGC) and am pretty indifferent. If I were running either company (or given a -big- stack of $ to advise) I would suggest something quite different than the current approaches. |

I would never pay extra for them to print a character on the card. It's worthless. Put MORE info, less BS. | ||

You guys are being harsh. CBCS had a, sorta, custom label. “Rivet label” | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson They did and it was short lived. I still have a few from when I submitted my books back then. Still few good giggles here and there. As for the custom labels from CGC, they are not for everyone. You either like them or you don’t. I don’t care for them because they are distractions that cost money. All I need are: accurate grade and info for the actual book inside. |

We've paid for a few custom CGC labels but, as is the general consensus, they're only appropriate and aesthetically pleasing for a small number of books, and in many cases are actually an unwanted distraction. I personally would like to see CBCS offer them just so we have a wider selection to choose from, but unless they're quality designs, colors and layouts, it would be pointless. |

I wish CBCS would offer DC labels to offset CGC's mostly Marvel based custom labels. | ||

I could have sworn I received a CGC email announcement about them, but I just checked my emails and I either trashed it or just thought I did. | ||

CBCS should launch custom labels for every major superhero, and the more uncommon ones like Black Lighting etc. I suppose licensing fees would be an issue on them, would have to be weighed with the draw in point of gaining more submitters. If one is a hardcore fan of a character and CGC doesn't have a custom label for that character, but CBCS does... That said, CBCS def sohuld have custom labels for all major DC and Marvel heroes, first in ordr to catch up w/CGC. Custom labelspay for themselves, 10 times over or so. If a book is $200 in 9.8, it's $250 w/a custom label. Look thru sold ASM CGC Spidey label sale on eBay. |
