Hi, I've noticed when looking up Certifications, that many times CGC Rolls Rare Variants into the same category as higher print of the same book... Example: Lady Death Gallery " "Gold Edition", LTD 535 copies, actually has about 20% of that number Printed as what is considered a "corner box" variant...which is far more rare, and has character with red cape in the corner, as opposed to a gold cape seen on the higher printed copies.. Moreover, there are even more rare "corner box" issues ( still red cape), but instead of being numbered, there are initials BP, which was the Brian Pullido's person copy ( only 3-10 printed). Attached, are the examples of previous mentioned. I do know that the "BP" issue is listed by itself in the registry, which is in fact super rare...However, I believe that not recognizing the difference between the corner box ( red cape), and regular "gold edition", causes confusion in the worth/rarity. Which in turn leads to faulty price charting on various sites, because they rely on sales of CGC data. Is there a way to get CGC to recognize the differences in their Registry?

I've been collecting for a while, and I see this all the time....Books that I'd like to have, but the minute I see signed with COA, it's an instant no for me... Shouldn't it be apparent by now to artists in the industry that it's useless if not witnessed..Seems to me that most people couldn't care less about a green label. The fact that it's a raw copy, and unwitnessed... From my opinion, is useless at that point, COA or not...Wish it would catch on more, and they would stop signing with COA...thoughts?
