Hi TC33, This may be of some help....   https://www.cgccomics.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=3327&cgc-modifies-stance-on-grading-submissions-with-tape

Sounds like it won't affect the grade, but tape will be noted on the label and we are talking a 1 millimeter micro piece of tape, so perhaps its best to try and remove it to make the label more neat and clean/book more desirable, so it has no label note about tape.  Worth the effort/risk?

I have what looks like on the surface to be a silver age key 7.0 range book I am getting ready to submit for grading.  Problem is on the front cover is a 3/4 inch tear near the corner edge and it has a teeny tiny micro piece of tape on interior to prevent the tear from going further.  Question, should I try to remove the tape before getting it graded, or since it is so small and is there for a reason, just leave it and hope for the best on the grading?  Really interested in seeing how CGC will grade this given that one minor defect given how nice the rest of the book looks.   Thanks!

Great communication and buying transaction on a $1K+ early Golden Age Key!   Thanks!  A++

I was told by the CGC moderator in the ask CGC a question section that both books should be good if they are coming from a CGC P  resto label.   The only time cleaning is not conservation is when it is poorly done and fades/washes the colors etc.  It looks like I have 2 great candidates for the new partially blue conserved label. 

P.S.  That goes for the tear seals/reinforcement also.  It needs to be professionally done with archival materials and not super glue etc. or it does not qualify.

Unless it shows well otherwise and the owner wants it protected in a nice slab to show off.   Do the CGC value service at 10% off, not really for making profit, but maybe still worth it to him?

I have a Hulk #1 just like it.   As is you will get a 1.5 blue label that looks much better.  For example, my Hulk 1 (that otherwise looks VG-) got a 1.5 with the same issue.  Truth be told given how well it shows and it being a coupon that's not a story page, GPA gets you really close to 2.0 area, but if it looks FN or better, then request the green level and probably get even more.   You can request the green label in these situations, otherwise I think they default to the blue label 1.5.

I have two Early purple label restored All Star Comics.  Both had slight (P) with one only having a tear seal and reinforcement and the other the same, but with a cover cleaning.   Now that they have conserved blue labels for such books that have no color touch and no pieces added etc. Do they both qualify?  The first one for sure, but the cleaning one is a gray area as it says some cleaning allowed in conserved books (but not all cleaning I suppose?).   I have also seen newly restored books graded with cleaning and still the purple label, not the conserved label, so I just need to know if I should ship both books back to CGC for reholdering into the new conserved label or just the one that does not have the cover cleaning???

Can anyone help with this question???

Wow, I would buy key 6.5's all day long at that looked that nice!  Go out and look at some graded books in that range and you will see this one has many more upper level attributes than vast majority of 6.5's.   It does have a fair amount of spine ticks that drop it a bit, but you have to weight the whole book overall.  I would be happy with a 7.5 but has a chance at 7.0.  I would bet money it gets at least one of those two grades. 

5.0 but probably 5.5 if you get a press and dry clean.

So I ended up the high bidder on ComicLink for their CGC .5 (wrong back cover) AF 15 copy at $3,935. I know because I was there live to outbid the other guy that was going back and forth against me the last day or so.   I was like woo hoo, I stayed to the very end and won this at a great price, no other bids after mine at the auction end, per their auction listing!  I went back later that evening only to find another bid had been slipped in exactly $100 higher than mine after the auction closed!  I sent a big email to Josh directly (I have been ordering from him when he was pretty much a 1 man shop back in the day) to ask how this could of happened and got NO RESPONSE.   Kind of kills the integrity of comic auctions to have a bid overtake the winning bidder AFTER the auction ends!   Anyone else ever hear of anything like this happening before?  Something similar happened to me at Heritage once, but it was way back in their early days, they at least apologized and gave me a $50 credit on next purchase.  (It still sucked, but at least They have some customer service skills and responded!)  I am betting someone at ComicLink figured I would not notice I was outbid after the auction close unless I had been online watching the very last moments live???  Anyway, when I saw what had happened after getting so excited for most of that day it was like...
