No More Green Labels for Gifts!
Qualified Label for Comics with Gifts
Many first issues of UK comics came with free gifts up to the 1990s (now every issue likely has one). Marvel UK issued new Hulk, Spider-Man, Captain Britain, etc. comics with gifts. On eBay UK, buying a comic with the gift intact will cost you much much more than buying it without. Mighty World of Marvel no. 1, for example, is $30 without the gift in fine condition, but goes for about $150 with the gift (a Hulk transfer). Now CGC do not include inserts in graded comics, and so they dont include gifts in graded UK comics. Fair enough. But they also give such comics a green qualified label that says the free gift is not included. Now everyone knows that anything other than a blue universal label is equated with there being a problem with the comic. So UK comics are effectively downgraded just for being different to the standard US format! This journal entry is a plea for UK comics with gifts to get a blue label if they are unrestored and a note on the label saying the gift is not present. How about it?
