    Blue Label

    in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues

    Posted

    Hello,

    Not sure if I'm in the right spot so if I'm not sorry about that. I just picked up an old blue label Tales To Astonish #1 (1959) CGC 8.0 with White Pages for interior. I usually send my books out to be worked on then sent for grading however this old blue label is the first one I have purchased. Do you think it would be better to leave it as is or to send it to my usual place to be sent back in for grading? My fear is doing this removes the book from its old grade and label when it gets to CGC I'm not sure if the graders will know of its previous grade. There are currently 6 total 8.0's and only 1 8.5 in the census knowing that I wonder what the odds are of upping an old blue label Key as some people believe there is a great chance others think its just a myth. If anyone has any thoughts just let me know or feel free to P.M me. Will be uploading pictures soon on Vacation right now.

     

    Regards,

    I just sent in a bunch of old blue and red labels (first generation) to be regarded. I was very surprised by the results. They were all pressed before regrading and the results were:

    5 books stayed the same graded

    2 books dropped from a 9.4 to a 9.0

    1 book dropped from a 9.4 to a 9.2

    1 book dropped from a 7.5 to a 7.0

    2 books went up from a 9.4 to a 9.8

    1 book went up from a 9.0 to a 9.2

    All of the books got a bump up on page quality. Overall the two books that were bumped up to a 9.8 saved my butt. If not for these I would have been out money. In the long run I think this "old label undergraded rumor" is just that, a rumor.

    PGM Showcase #22

    Presents nice but lots of cumulative flaws. No chunks missing, no chipping, no writing but some of those creases are very long. Not sure how the press will help here as most is color breaking. I'd say 3.5/4.0 . 

    That is exactly what I was thinking. The detached centerfold is what gets me. I'm not exactly sure where a detached centerfold allows a book to max out on the CGC grading scale.  I know a higher grade book will get a green label and that a lower grade book will most likely just get a reduced grade with a blue label.

    Hey Guys!

    I picked up a copy of showcase #22 and I wanted to get your thoughts on what the grade might come back as. I had the book signed by Joe Giella at Heroes Con and it is currently at CGC getting graded as a SS book. Here are the only pictures I have of it. These were from the seller and they are not the best. I wish I would have taken some scans of the book before I sent it in but I was on a tight time schedule to get it to the facilitator! Something to note is that the centerfold is detached at both staples. The cover and all other pages are still attached securely. Also I had the book pressed after these pictures were taken :) 

    Thanks! I will post the grades ASAP after it comes back :)
