Quote:Originally Posted by ComicHoarder Would you feel this way if it were in a CBCS 1.0 Blue label that said "large piece cut out on pg 16", and did not specify it was Wolverine? It appears that's what they'd do. |

Is that okay just because they're newbies and they deserve it because they don't have the years of experience that more seasoned collectors have? NO. |

| Incomplete is incomplete. However; Incomplete is not always bad. I’ll use Action Comics #1 as an example. If I had the desire (and ridiculous funds) to own that book I would buy an incomplete copy simply based on rarity and the low survival rate of that book. I would not buy an incomplete copy of a common book especially this one where someone used it for scrapbooking or something. |

| I understand how making a specific label that points out Wolverine is cut out is essentially pulling the book out of line, or worse, stopping the line altogether. So, I started wondering why the info can't be added to the field that supplies ASP/VSP/SS info, or, as in this, case the hidden defect, location, if it affects the story, etc., and I figured all that info is probably put together by click and scroll rather than by adding text. With that in mind, it would truly require a custom label in order to get specific enough to say the book had a Loganectomy. If it isn't done this way, nm  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Byrdibyrd I dunno @Byrdibyrd, I'm not sure that other peoples lack of experience or expertise is a great reason to restrict my options. Whether it be comic books, cars, guns, investments, travel arrangements, etc. We live in an age where information is pretty easily accessible for those who wish to find it. If some newbie doesn't utilize the internet, so be it. And if he convinces himself that he's killing it and outsmarting the pros by buying lower-priced green label books...so be it, not my concern. But my independent-mindedness is consistent so I also respect Steve's right to do what he thinks is best with his company. But if I've got a valuable nice looking book with a fatal flaw...I'm going to use the service that grades the rest of the book, not just the flaw. |

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

| On the topic of adding more information, has there ever been a push for CGC to add the real grade to green label books? Like "green label - 7.0, blue label - 1.5"? | ||

| I feel no sympathy for anyone buying IH180 and not doing their diligence. It is a hype/spec book at today’s prices. Just like when people get burned losing all their money in speculative crypto bets, or buying multiple homes with excessive leverage. Trend towards blaming everyone but themselves. The green label was the warning, the 16th wrap / page was the alarm. Takes a bit of legwork to see what “could” be at risk. Caveat emptor. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Davethebrave  He wasn't blaming anyone. He bought it as part of a large collection. When he saw the notes he did the leg work and pulled up page 16 online and thought a buyer deserved to see what they are buying so he cracked it. Said he was glad he did because he'd have felt bad selling that to a buyer not knowing what was missing. |

Davethebrave private msg quote post Address this user | |
| The trend is true. I didn’t say anything about the person who owns this particular book. Good for them cracking it for this altruistic purpose. Personally, I always appreciate transparency and seek to provide it in all my dealings. But when people take risks they need to take the bad with the good. One solution is for the original (slab) buyer to request documentation of the book’s missing piece. If a car was in an accident photos of the damage pre-repair is the first thing a prudent buyer should request. Same here given $ involved. It is a balancing act on the label disclosures. One reason I’d never purchase an extensively restored book (with pieces added) based on label alone is I can’t really know how much is “real” vs reproduction. Some others apparently don’t care but may care about something I am far less concerned with (e.g., trimming). Customizing disclosures and grading for every preference would become an impossible task. So Green Label or CBCS blue, it is on the buyer to understand the “range” of what they are getting. Quote: Originally Posted by Sigur_Ros |

| Story page is not the same as physical page is not the same as leaf. Hopefully everyone in this thread now understands the difference, and understands that graders notes and labels reference the physical pages. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by xkonk Seems like this could be done in small font in the same way they provide grades for each cover on double/+ cover books... it'll never happen but I like it. That being said, I really only like green labels for things like Lakeside Tattooz or cards being removed, because it highlights that while the "comic" is of a certain condition, it is not considered complete without an element that might otherwise be missed. |

| The confusion comes down to the definition of the word "page". It seems to the industry it means one thing and to the layman it means another thing. They just need to get on the same....page. |

Quote:Originally Posted by SGT_Comics Are you saying that's too many characters for them to type or too difficult for them to understand? A piece was in fact cut from pages 31/32. It seems like that would inform anyone, including newbies, as to what's going on inside the book. Anyway, all this was unimportant, as I tried to say in the original post, but you would think grading companies would be on the same page as the publishers with this. There are reasons there is a little number printed at the bottom of each page. Everyone knows Wolverine shows up on pg 32. No one believes he shows up on pg 16. Take a poll. Wrap #8 Leaf #16 Page #31/32  |
