  1. I did a video blog where I compared the exact same issue number graded Golden Age Batman comics and page quality did not affect the points awarded. 

    I sell mid grade White Page books to get higher graded books that do not have White Pages into my collection and the registry. 

    I just purchased a Batman 54 graded 6.5 with Off White pages. I now have an undercopy of Batman 54 graded 5.0 with White Pages. 

    If I got more points in the Registry set for  White Pages I would not upgrade. 

    When I tried to crack press and regrade some comics, page quality went down from White Pages so I know page quality is at the discretion of the grader. 

    I will say there are quite a few collectors I deal with who prefer White Pages. 

     

  2. I still think a 100% complete set with 100% complete front and back images posted with 100% descriptions sets should get "completion" points or their own awards as I find it very frustrating that a 10 comic set can beat a 100% complete set in points. I have a complete Batman 1-100 set posted and as soon as my comics from CGC (which shipped yesterday arrive) I will have Amazing Spider-man 1-100 with the 7 annuals and Amazing Fantasy 15 set complete!

    I know there was some talk last year about getting more points and more recognition for complete sets but nothing has happened.

    Here is the reply I received from marketing:

    We are actually most likely going to bring this label back but it might have a few minor changes to it. If he can hang on for a few more months he might be pleasantly surprised. Otherwise, I do not think OPs has any of these left ...

    Thank you for the response. 
    I will get the raw books graded with regular labels and send the graded books in that need the NYC Spiderman label when it comes out.
