| I had heard a couple months ago that the red verification would be changing color soon. Is there any legitimacy to this? I have a couple books that I want to bring in but have been waiting until a color change because I hate the red labels. | ||

| Since yellow is the witnessed signature label color, how about gold? Verification of older signatures is a premium level tier, so that would seem to be a logical choice.   . |

| I say switch the red to orange It's not yellow which is a verified, but not as nefarious as red |

| As I read through this and I think hard about it, I believe there is truth to the color of a label signifantly impacting the value of a slab. What I can't determine if it's understandable or flat out pathetic. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Pre_Coder I suppose that's true. Dunno what the general populace thinks in total. On one hand I feel I'm buying the service of the grade and verification of signatures and who really would care about a label color. On the other hand it's sort of like buying a new car. Someone will pay 20k for a black Honda but wouldn't dare put out 17k for the exact same car in red. Ahhh... vanity at its finest |

| I like the red label, but red has always been my favorite color. But I do see how it could detract being a very bold color though. | ||

| I like the red. It matches the red foil of my Spider-Man 2099 #1. I think the best all round solution is to make all witnessed and verified sigs in yellow; just read the label if you need the details. |

| Should be yellow.. The sig is verified, either by witnessing or via analysis.. | ||

| I don't think they should be the same color. With a verified signature there is always a margin of error of whether or not it is actually authentic. With a witnessed signature, there should be no question as to its authenticity. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson That margin of error is very, very slim, but the fact that they aren't exactly the same is why I was thinking Gold. It's close enough to the current witness signature color, but a slight differentiation reflecting a costlier tier achieving the same result. I'm sure other ideas would work just as well, for instance the bronze suggestion isn't bad. I pretty much agree with the consensus that keeping red isn't desirable & green would probably be an epic fail. PS: I wouldn't bet on all those witnessed signatures being safe. Sacha Baron Cohen is always looking for celebrity targets to spoof. |

| The red doesn't bother me, either. However, it is an internationally recognized color that means stop or danger when communicating information visually. | ||

| I actually think about whether the red or yellow label will compliment the book asthetically when considering signatures. Red doesn't go with a lot...maybe because red is just a bold statement color. Yellow/blue seems to go with most anything. I have a detective comics 880 that would look better in a red label than gold, I think. One of the few. |
