Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar . . . but a sticker is a sticker is a sticker.

I would say no, only because if you're buying a book that has already been graded by them, it's in their database already. But raw books (or other graders' books are another matter.) And they have just flagged your account to be on the lookout . . .

Forgive me, I may have been exaggerating However, it (is/was/may have been) very easy to exchange the tatooz envelope between the two without any obvious detection, and I imagine this kind of thing was done rather routinely. (it's not like it was microtrimming fergawdsake.)

Can you imagine getting a Green Label with the notation "plastic bag removed"

Like plastic bags that comics came in. Precisely!

I guess the 5 or 6 copies of each I had were "outliers" (just like my high sales prices)

Personally, I think CGC should do away with any "missing" stigma for items/extras that were meant by the publisher to be removed unless it destroys the integrity of the comic book, e,g. cut-out Marvel Value Stamps or "in-page" coupons. IMHO, the other items are superfluous to value.

That's correct, as Lazyboy points out every production variable you can think may happen, did.

This not a great example. The tatooz insert in the ASM 238 and the FF252 are (jn my copies were) not bound in by the staple.

Yes. They have.

This is the reality depending on the book and the person doing the work.

No.

Do you guys get any kickbacks on that?

I sold all of my copies just after this thread came out.

Where are the pics? This thread ain't worth a dog's _____ without pics.

Yeah, that's the ticket . . .

Yep, I remember when I first saw that I said, "What did they do with Cap?"

I'd have to see the electron micrographs . . .

Seems like you're doing it again . . .

I'm not familiar enough with the star wars series to pick out "keys" from the series But picking out the Newsstands sounds like an easier way to determine I would have just bought them all.

Pretty soon we'll be paying eBay to give them away for us!

Must've been his last day at work.
