| One of the problems I have with married pages or back covers is. Some books have changeable ad pages and or back covers that were produced throughout that months production. Which means it’s possibly with certain books that you can chop up a $5.00 western or funny animal and marry ad pages to a valuable super hero key. So a married ad page or back cover is not guaranteed to be from that specific book. | ||

| @c2t2merch A CGC green label is a PRETEND grade. A book missing a centerfold is a poor at best, incomplete book .3 at worst. Pretty sure its the latter. It is now a 4.5, certainly be worth more  Quote: Originally Posted by Homer That would be very hard to do, both sides of the paper would have to be identical. I have seen slabs with notes like "wrong back cover", "wrong X-wrap" etc though |

| @shrewbeer I figured as much, so in your opinion would my book benefit from being submitted to CBCS? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by c2t2merch In this case, absolutely. CBCS blue label with a "married" note on the label will sell for far more than a green label of the same grade every day of the week. Reminds me of a discussion we had on the FB group this weekend. Two nice sketches, one with a 9.2 grade, one with an ART label. People see that 9.2 on a modern book as a scar, and would rather own the ART. The green label is the proverbial scar on your book in this case, as more often than not the green label grade is a complete pretend grade. |

Quote:Originally Posted by c2t2merch Yeah given what you've shown, I don't think it will drop to 1.0. You should be able to retain that 1.5 easily as long as no ads are cut out |

| but CBCS grades tighter so you'd definitively take a hit to 1.0 | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmyke I think it's 50-50. Not all cgc comics sent to cbcs take a hit...id say 25% from the minimal stats I've seen in this forum. Either way, still worth getting rid of the green label for a 0.5 hit. |

| Someone correct me if I’m wrong but regardless whether the book is CGC qualified or restored...if it’s submitted to CBCS...it’ll be a blue label with a notation of either “married” or “restored”. So purely for aesthetic reasons you’d rather have a blue than green label. If you were to sell the book...It’s up to the buyer of the book to have an eagle eye for such notations. |

| @BM_Cruz - I would strongly suggest that you read the label of any slabbed book you purchase, regardless of the label’s color. Not only should it note if the book was restored, conserved, or have other issues (married centerfold, extra staple added, etc.), but it will also let you know if it’s a second or later printing, a foreign edition, or even if it’s a reprint. I have seen auctions where a bidder overbids on an item because they looked at the tiny photograph (instead of the full-sized one) and probably didn’t realize that they were bidding on a reprint. | ||

@eaaravo I totally agree. You should have a discerning eye when purchasing any colored label book! I don’t mean to high jack this thread but I’ve got this book that with all this talk on this thread about green vs. blue that it’s got me thinking... |

| @BM_Cruz - That’s not a book, that’s a Grail! I would ask Steve Borock his opinion, since he would be the one grading a book like that at CBCS. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by esaravo Don't you just want to crack that open so you can hold it in your hands (very gently)? If you're selling it, sure...slab it....you'll get the most out of it. But this book should be held and admired page by page. How many people on this earth get to hold that issue? |
