Holo stickers -do they affect grade?2840

I was considering getting some of my old Wizard 1/2's graded but other than maybe having the sticker removed (someone said Hero restoration can do that) I will probably just not bother.

My mistake was that I inquired about it after I submitted the book. If I had known prior, I would have never sent it in because I don't think the 8.0 accurately reflects the grade.

Now I have a grading fee, shipping, and a verified signature fee tied up in the book, and I don't agree with the grade that is reflected on the label. Oh well.

I bet CGC has the same policy, but you could probably get a green qualified grade that reflects the actual quality of the book.

Oh yeah - I just thought this would be different than say a bus stop sticker because this is applied by the publisher (albeit to a subset of the production) rather than say a corner store etc slapping a price sticker on like they did in the 60's etc.

One would think, but then again one might also think flashbacks count as appearances.

That's correct. Mark Roman told me that CGC treats the stickers the same as CBCS, but you can get a CGC green label that does reflect the grade as if the sticker is not on the book. I believe the green label says, Qualified Sticker on Cover.

That's probably the only scenario I would leave a book in a CGC slab instead of sending to CBCS for reholder/regrade.

Hmmmmm....either $50 bucks to remove and get graded as normal or CGC green label. Might go the green label route - I kind of figure this is the way the books came to me when I ordered them so I'm not super keep on taking off the label. Of course I might just keep them at home too

$50 for sticker removal? I'm in the wrong business.

I was under the impression that all of the books were originally produced with the sticker. In the case where they were added later to some copies, I would indeed have to agree with Steve's Assessment.
