CGC could easily solve the issue of outrageous shipping costs for Canadians if they wanted to do so. It's way down on their list of priorities, I'm sure. 

I would've submitted books for many of their signings, but the cost is ridiculous.

These seemed to off tripled/quadrupled in value in the last month or two.

Yes, a lot of books have increased significantly in these stimulus/covid times.

A raw and two slabs on the way...

I'm trying to add books to a set from my inventory on the registry. I need to check the books to add, but I can't access the left side where check boxes are.

I have tried turning the phone and that didn't work either.

More Canadians..

I bought them slabbed so I was definitely checking for centering. You'll notice #3 is not identified by CGC. #2 was the most recent purchase and the most expensive. I do have a nice raw one though which I'll send in and sell to cover some of the cost.

Bill Sienkiewicz please!!

This one is on the way...

Beauty Sienkiewicz cover!

Can any book have this label or is there criteria?

Does anyone have a photo of the CPV of G.I. Joe #5? 

Nm got one

Again...if a book already has the label then they sold it with permission and you should be able to maintain your purchase in perpetuity.

Obviously, they have to follow what was in the agreement with Stan Lee and allowing them to use his likeness and name on a label in perpetuity was not part of the agreement.

Shouldn't matter. I can understand about labels going forward, but if I've already purchased the custom label I should be able to have that label on that book in perpetuity IMO.

It matters because they no longer are licensed to issue the label.

Here's my problem with these new labels and it's something that I just learned a month ago.

 

The problem is that these are limited editions. If you pay the fee for the custom label and down the road you need to reholder it you won't get the new label again even though you paid for it. Had a customer who paid for the Stan Lee label a few years back and they sent in a book to get cracked out and have a signature added. Well since CGC no longer offers the Stan Lee label they got the book back without the Stan label and they were pissed because no one ever told them the full details on these labels that if they were to ever go our of print you wouldn't be able to get the label again.

 

Lets say you go to sell a book down the road and it has the customer Spider-Man label and the slab gets damaged in shipping...you can't get the SM label. Or you have this as a yellow label and eventually want to crack the slab to add someone else.

 

If you pay for a custom label you should ALWAYS have that label going forward on that book even if no new books can get that label.

Your scenario could happen if the contract between CGC and Marvel expires and is not renewed.

That's what happened to the Stan Lee contract. That's why they can't use his name or likeness on the labels currently. There is still a chance this will change.

I think CGC should offer a $5 credit for any book that can't be given the same label upon reholdering. 

-----------

I like the option of the label because you don't have to get it if you don't want it. However, if used properly I think the label adds more than $5 value to the slab. Slabs with Stan Lee labels carry a premium right now. 

It was a great idea by CGC. Imagine how many Hulk 181s will be reholdered to get a Wolverine label. 

Anyone here happen to have or know of someone who has a CGC 9.6 copy of this available?

Finally found these in the wild... $3 each.
