If it wasn't for the black pen drawing and colouring this would be a high grade copy. Even though the "artist" has tried to blend it into the rest of cover it probably takes it down to like a 6.0. 

Yeah it’s a real shame. Thanks for the reply 

My LCS has a few keys where someone has colored in the barcode like this. Curious how CGC would grade this. Thanks

Something I just noticed: I don't think that the CCA stamp is supposed to be red...

I have been in the mode of suggesting that people keep it raw if it's staying in the PC. With the current costs, and TATs, I'm just not seeing much of a reason to submit unless it's for signing or selling.

Good point. And yes that stamp has been colored in too. Think that is crayon

No interest in leaving it raw?

Dunno guess I was so eager to grade it before now I’m not sure. It’s staying in the PC

Yes, and yes, but it would be difficult and/or ugly to remove.

It’s unfortunate because the rest of the cover is quite nice. At least it will display well in that purple label.

Indeed. That bleedthrough to the other side is immediately telling and will yield an Amateur notation. But on that particular book the color touch is so bad that confirming it via the bleedthrough is hardly necessary. As Marwood says, it is so extensive that removal would result in a nearly complete or completely detached cover. Looks like they also hit the bottom as indicated by the inside cover shot, so removing that may give a trimmed label. I have to wonder if there is even more color touch we cannot see. A full size pic of the inside and outside front cover would be really helpful in determining the true extent.

Would love to get this graded but fear the purple label. Looks like red and black marker.  Thanks 

so big question should i sell my first print lot now or hold them?

Loving the story but I guess big question should I keep the first print lot I have or sell?
