Yeah but personally I would never buy a green label and if I had something graded that came back with a green, I's pitch it basically. How are you supposed to tell a coupon is missing? That is rather misleading. All it says is tape on the label.


Just like any defect inside a book, you need to either open it or look up the notes. It would be misleading on a 5.0 qualified, but on a book graded "fair/gd 1.5", a missing coupon is perfectly normal and acceptable for that grade.

Yes, however, if you are buying a second hand slab (I realise the free notes essentially voids my problem, how are you to know? You can't open the book. I would rather pay up for a nicer 3.0, then have a caca 1.5 missing coupons...

Apologies for inadvertently sounding like a dick. Didnt mean to. I just re-read my comment, and it probably came off that way 🍺

@shrewbeer

So there is no resto label either?

So if I ever buy a CBCS slab...check the notes?

Sorry not too familiar with the CBCS system, where does it say that and why is the label not green lol.


You can look up the notes for freehere and the grading guidelines here

Green? CGC green label is a fake grade, a "what could have been" grade. I could rant all day about the green label lol. CBCS doesnt do that, they only give the actual grade. 1.5 is legit for a missing coupon, or you could send that book to cgc for a fake 5.0 green lol


Repeat after me...

"The Qualified grade tells you what the book otherwise would be without a major flaw.

The lack of a qualified grade means you know nothing about the general condition of the book outside of that flaw."

@DocBrown

Yes Doc,

It clicked

I was saying I prefer these things being evident with a green label is all. And I am trying to understand how to avoid buying something I don't want if I ever buy a CBCS slab. No need to condescend!

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. drchaos private msg quote post Address this user

Looks like a good to me. 2.0 cover a very wide range of mangledness.

As for qualified labels ... It was the absolute worst thing perpetrated on the hobby. Mind you signed books with a grade that ignores the writing is pretty damn nasty too.

This seems to capture the condition best; and the quote would fit nicely in the out-of-context quote thread, also!
