LOL!

Does CBCS have an established procedure for a situation like this, or would this be set aside for extra attention? This has to happen often with cartoon books.

CBCS does not use a Qualified label.
The book would probably grade a 1.0

I know you don't- I meant label notation. That's the main concern for this situation. Would the label say something more specific, or does it fall in the category of any comic with any character cut out, with just a passing mention?

That was already answered:

It's incredibly arbitrary and the only reason it's accepted is because it's been around longer as a standard. I don't think older ideas are always better than new ideas. Like I said, as a submitter I like having the option to choose either way. Even as a buyer of a slab, I like the idea of knowing the condition of a book beyond the major flaw. Grader notes don't tell me the actual grade of the rest of the book. And honestly, even as just a displayer of books I like not having a .5 or 1.0 label on my otherwise really nice looking Golden Age book that is missing a coupon from the back cover. It is legitimate if you subscribe to the grading companies methods and criteria to analyzing books and assigning grades, which given the popularity of slabbing, most have. I understand why a submitter may want to know this information but at best it perhaps should be a foot note in the graders notes and not on the label. This is no different than requesting a grading company to ignore the fact that there's colour touch, trimming or any restoration.

This would be true if the defect were being ignored, which it isn't. The defect is clearly pointed out and the book is set apart by the colour of its label. If the label were also blue like a 'Universal' label, then I would have a serious issue.

	Yes, I regret it. Seemed like it was a good idea at the time (1999), but (most) sellers hate it and the fans are not in love with it either. Back then, before certification, some of the more honest sellers would put: VFNM with 3" tr on 3rd page. It was a way of explaining what the book looked like besides the flaw. We went with that when we opened CGC, but I was never really happy with it. I believe the grade of the book should be the grade, not a "what if" grade. The other problem I have with it is that the dishonest sellers, which we know that there are many, sell qualifieds to newbies at a very high price as they are still learning and get taken advantage of. We thought we were doing the right thing at the time, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions......

It's probably impossible to automate such specific notations.

Basically just click an option and it prints the pre-programmed note. Unfortunate.

So the difference would be the color and grade. A person buying this in a CBCS slab would also have no way of knowing

	Maybe I can help clear things up: If I had the book as a raw book and saw the reason for buying the book (beyond the GREAT getting-punched-in-the-face sound effects) was cut out with an Exact-O-Knife, I wouldn't have bought it. If I HAD, it would have been for parts. Never would I ever send the POS in to be graded knowing that the raison d'etre was gone. UNLESS I was a heartless, POS that wanted money. Even then, what's the point? I thought I was wrong all these years. I always counted pages as having two sides. So, one page equaled two sides of art. This book is 16x2=32 "sides". Here, I would have mentally done the math and though "Ehhhh that missing piece could possibly be some kid cutting out Wolvie and gluing him to a 3 ring binder. We did that a lot in the 1970's. Thank God they started issuing stickers around the same time. Thank Satan they shipped them in cardboard tubes and when we stuck them to the wall, they rolled up on the wall. I see keys or semi-keys with green labels, that's my cue to keep scrolling. I buy a raw book, I count pages before sending feedback or raising Hell, which so far, I haven't had to do. Well, just once. But that was over money.
