If i remember correctly, PSA/DNA has invisible ink. CGC could use that to barcode a book.
THEY BETTER NOT.
I don't want them adding chemicals to a book I won.
If I take it out and keep it raw why should they keep their mark on it
If they were to use invisible UV ink to "tattoo" the book in an inconspicuous area inside the book what difference would it make to you? Just means that if someone were to resubmit the book for grading it would come up in the CGC system as a book that had already been graded.
At least the customer could be notified that the book had previously been graded. I'm sure there are other logical advantages that could come of this!
That the book was previously means squat.
The person breaks it out for SS or mishandles it. IT results in new grade. The tattoo will accomplish nothing except add chemicals to a book that is sensitive to chemicals
So tell me why someone would break it out of a holder, mis-handle it and then submit it to expect a higher grade??????????
But sometimes people bust books out for other reasons.years ago I broke out my ST 110 because I wanted to read it,smell it ect...Since then I have upgraded,this time with a raw book.with the prices going nuts I may one day(shudder) trade my old copy for something.said person who gets this book(with the old label label saved for them) may very well re submit...I take great care of my comics,but cannot guarantee it was not damaged at all....the tattooing idea leaves a terrible taste in my mouth.
