If my blank was in excellent shape, i would rather submit for potential 9.8 grading over ART label because of this. Thanks for the observation, guys. I wanted to comment but have been so busy all day I didn't have a chance to give it the attention I thought it deserved. The Original Art program was designed to showcase artwork. Some is on a comic book, some on paper, some on backing boards, etc. When the program launched, we processed everything through the system as if it were a normal submission. We talked to many customers over the next several months, who expressed the concern that by putting information about the comic, we were taking focus away from the artwork. No matter what the artwork was on, they felt there needed to be consistency in the labeling for the OA program. When our new website was being developed, we took these suggestions into consideration and chose to put the focus completely on the artwork and signatures, which was what we wanted to do with the OA program from the beginning. It was at this point that the format on the OA labels was changed to the format it is currently in. Long story, short, is it a graded book, or is it original artwork? It's original artwork. Thanks again for bringing this up and allowing me the opportunity to explain the transition. We appreciate your support.

Thanks for the explanation @SteveRicketts. Would CBCS consider allowing a submitter to request having the info added to ART slabs? I have submitted quite a few slabs for ART and while i do agree on having the focus be on the ART, the ART labels look a little too plain for my taste so for that reason alone it makes me consider it for grading first just because i don't like the look of the plain labels.

Additionally, very often notes about the book contribute to why we get certain sketches on certain blanks (for example: ASM Renew Your Vows #1 is "Death of Venom" so that is a nice note to display when the art is venom on a Renew Your Vows #1 Blank).

Also, I have gotten Sketches done on certain blanks before and then had all the other creators that had to do with that particular book all sign the cover as well; without any kind of notes, it makes those extra signatures very odd and out of place considering they had nothing to do with the sketch.

Just some thoughts to consider that I know are on a lot of peoples minds about the change. Thanks

	Not only off center and waves, but I shutter to think of what color transfer damage will occur over time to that ink. Someone needs to rescue it from that case before it's destroyed forever.
