| Refer to the grading guides for 9.6 - second last bullet point. You may assume no impact but can never be higher than 9.6 https://www.cbcscomics.com/grades |

I have received up to 9.6 with date stamps on the cover. They were pretty common at newsstands in my area when I was growing up. |

| @SteveRicketts "If you send that book for a clean and press, and they try to remove that date stamp, never send that person books to clean/press again." Why do you say this? Should a date stamp removal never be attempted? |

Quote:Originally Posted by poka ".....You may assume no impact but can never be higher than 9.6" This is a strange statement...if you may assume no impact and a 9.8 is impossible then a date stamp has an impact. If this is the case, signatures should follow the same logic. |

@GAC Quote:Originally Posted by GAC Firstly, if only the part of the stamp that appears on the white lettering is removed, it: A) will be obvious that a date stamp was there B) will remove some of the cover gloss when cleaning that deep C) will look odd Secondly, when attempting to remove the part of the stamp that appears over the red part of the cover, some of the actual comic book ink will be removed along with it, causing a defect. |

Quote:Originally Posted by CaptainCanuck Ahh...OK...So if the offending marks can not be removed entirely and/or without damaging the book they should never even be attempted. Cool...makes sense..thanks! As an FYI..I wasn't aware date stamps could not be removed completely. |

| @GAC Ya, there would most likely be evidence of removal, which is not a good thing when getting a book graded. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Gabriel85301 There is a very similar looking date stamp on my TOS #50. It is also has about the same placement on the cover, although not upside down. Most of the time I don't mind date stamps, but the placement can make a difference if I'm ok with it or not.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Drogio This is the best and most succinct summary of the topic. I would only replace "will" with "may", since collector reaction to date stamps ranges from hate 'em to love 'em. I'm in the latter. It's part of the provenance of any book, and tells part of the story. Why anyone would try to remove a date stamp is beyond me. At minimum, you've moved from Blue label to Grey (Conserved), and if done shoddy, Purple. As an aside, Grey Label is just CGC's way of trying to make restoration respectable, IMO. I'm not too thrilled about it, it's still restoration, just a sub-class. It will be interesting to see if the crew here follows suit. |

Quote:Originally Posted by TommyJasmin Not restoration. Conserved books are just that; something was done to keep it from degrading further. Rusty staples cleaned off, a nasty tear sealed off from getting worse, paper deacidified, etc. I applaud CGC for taking this step. |

Quote:Originally Posted by shrewbeer Actually CGC themselves state it's restoration. Go read it again SB, True they break out conserved as a special label type, but it is still restoration (they make a point to say that it is a subset of restoration type A-1). |

Quote:Originally Posted by BigRedOne1944 The topic here is date stamps, not creases and stains. Nobody here would debate whether those are flaws. Whether a date stamp is a flaw is subjective, and apparently the grading companies have taken the side they are not flaws, since they don't affect grade. Again, to each their own but you can't lump 'em in with stains. |

Quote:Originally Posted by TommyJasmin Obviously some flaws are more severe than others, but flaws none the less. I don't take my queues from grading companies, as the CEO, CFO and The Head Grader of my collection I have the final say in what MY guidelines are, not CGC or CBCS. My guideline's treat date stamps the same as any other outside writing. To me it doesn't matter who, why or when it was put there. It wasn't part of the originally printed book. I realize there is a wide acceptance of this flaw, and depending on it's location it may not be a major detraction on the book. I personally prefer my book not have this flaw and I personally down grade books with this flaw. |

Quote:Originally Posted by TommyJasmin Thats what scares people off conserved books. Conservation on a book that needs it is a good thing. Cleaned staples are better than rusty, etc. By the definition of restoration it is not, but then I suppose we could argue about that as well  Resto = improving a books grade Conserve = stopping a book from degrading further That grey label is the first step to get our community to differentiate between the two. On a somewhat related note, both grading companies give tape a pass; yet taping a tear is conservation. I wonder why tape is accepted so easily? |

Quote:Originally Posted by shrewbeer Actually I think this is a great point and am in full agreement here. If removing some oxidation will prevent further oxidation, then best it's done, right? With this in mind, I think I am starting to change my view on the new label. Leave it to Shrewbeer to get met to change my view on something. I just hope the guidelines and application of them are clear on this. There will be a lot of lobbying to get many existing purple labels reholdered. We are tagging all database sales with the new labels going forward in Nosto, and so will be able to compute price index differentials sometime next year when enough sales have been accumulated. It will be interesting to see how much difference it makes. Quote: Originally Posted by shrewbeer Resto: Improving the appearance anyway. And sure, numeric grade, but generally not value. Quote: Originally Posted by shrewbeer I'd need more info to comment on this one SB, are we talking only about conservation grade taping materials? And are you saying both are soft on using tape? |
