Hope someone else has noticed this and can help me out. I have a book that is a restored and signed copy of Amazing Fantasy 15. I went to check the grading notes on the site, and I entered the CBCS number off the label. The book in question has the older red label, but the image provided when the CBCS number is entered into the comic book grading notes search engine comes up yellow. Also, while the actual notes provided on the site match the red label, the image on the CBCS site has noted that do not. The actual red label, and the notes state "verified", while the image on the site says "witnessed". Is the image on the site some kind of updated photoshop of the actual book? Why would it show the new yellow label, when the book itself has a red? Has anyone else encountered this with one of their books?   |

| Something is definitely wrong somewhere. Do you have the red label book in hand? I don’t think the book depicted necessarily has the new yellow label for verified books, which debuted with the new cases. The book is in the old case so it has a yellow label because it has a witnessed signature on the label. Assuming you have the red label book in your hand, the situation that would fit the facts would be this: the book was submitted for a red label initially but was erroneously slabbed with a yellow label and scanned. The scan would reflecting the incorrect label but the notes being correct. The book was then returned and correctly slabbed in the red label. |

 Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC?

| @comixoasis - I have to think that @dielinfinite is on the right track here. I might even conject that the photo may have been taken before final QC and that QC ascertained that there was an error and the comic was re-encased with the correct label even before being shipped back to the original submitter. | ||

Might I also add, slightly restored or not, that is a freakin' lovely copy of AF #15.  |

| @comixoasis - as @Byrdibyrd said, that is a freakin' lovely copy. If it were mine, I would send in for re-holder into the New Sonicweld encasement and the new yellow VSP label as to me, the Yellow label mates up better with that particular cover. Cheers to you and that comic! |

| I would bet that it was imaged for the gallery with an incorrect label, the mistake caught, the label changed, and a new image was never taken. | ||

| @CaptainCanuck - Not necessarily, may have had a COA with it when it was sent in. Edit for further clarification…the date may have beed observed on a COA or even note from submitter to assist the BCS Verifier as to the validity of the signature. No, the do not recognize, but perhaps that is where the date reference came from, thus the errant yellow and subsequently corrected read lab. Just providing context as to where a date came from. |

| Are you the one who submitted the book? Or did you buy it slabbed? If so, the previous owner might have answers. Whatever the case, that's super weird. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by CaptainCanuck I noticed that too. Where did they get that date from since it wasn't on the original label? It would be disastrous if COA's are considered "witnessed signatures". |

Quote:Originally Posted by CaptainCanuck I'm assuming Labels is pretty much a data entry department. If that's the case, it's easy to see that Label errors can occur. That date could have been information from a Label created right before. |

Quote:Originally Posted by CaptainCanuck A witnessed signature has to have a date. The date is probably the date the book was signed and entered on the submission form but lacked to have a witness. Therefore it was submitted for verification as an alternative. |

| Just because it was submitted in 2018 doesn't mean it wasn't signed in 2015. This is probably one of the reasons the yellow label was noticed as a mistake. The date had to be on the submission form. As you said, I doubt they pulled a random date out of the air. | ||

| Yes, when you submit for signature verification you enter what you know about the signing. That would include place and date. So that's where the information would have come from on the error label. | ||
