Indent on pages from digital sticker!17201

The Fifth Golden Girl sborock private msg quote post Address this user
We are seeing many pressed books with the defect from too much pressure during pressing from pressers who don't understand that the digital sticker on books will leave indents on the pages if not done correctly. This lowers the grade, so books that look perfect on the outside are getting hit with a lower grade and usually the check mark.

Pick the person pressing your modern books carefully.

Just a public sevice announcment.....

@sborock If the sticker is removed would the book still get a ding and be considered incomplete and get a lower grade?

The highest grade a peeled sticker will get is a 9.6 even if it's a 10.0

What about when the sticker was never placed? Would it be notated as a manufacturing error? I don’t mean the sticker was pulled to reveal code, but that none of it was applied in manufacturing.
I had an Absolute Carnage #1 that had no sticker and CGC graded it 9.8 with no mention. I’m guessing they just didn’t bother to check.

We mention when no sticker was applied during production on the CBCS label. Yes, it's noted as a manufacturing error.

@sborock On a similar note, I have an Avengers #19 V1 where the bottom staple was never stapled and there is no holes in the paper where the staple should have been. Can you give me your take on how that would be graded?

Just a manufacturing error. Will be noted on the label and can't grade higher than 9.8

Well today I learned there are things called digital stickers and they have been on comics since at least 2012.
Must be Monday.

which stinks. Have Amazing spider-man #4, House of x #2 and Edge of spider-verse #2 (5th printing) all with sticker removed. I do plan on getting asm4 graded this year with the other 2 eventually. but if lets say a 9.4 Ill still consider it a good grade with all things considering.

Yeah I've never heard of them either. Which is why I wondered about a screen shot of one and the damage pressing with one causes ...

So far no pics
