    Time for the group shot of my All promo comics collection.  Side by side, the sticker on the Marvel Tales comic looks totally legit.  Makes me wonder if some young comics fan back in the day carefully peeled the sticker off of his free ASM 184 and put it on a different Spidey comic?    Makes for a nice set, I think!

    So I have a few questions.  CGC posted this on their Twitter today.

    If this is an insert from a comic then why is it not a green label as it is missing the actual book it came in? 

    I mean if it is the promotional I could understand as that technically wasn't part of another book, but the fact they even say on the label that the insert and promotional are indistinguishable then why blue label?

    I can think of at least one other promo insert that has always been treated this way (graded on its own in blue): Marvel Comics guide to Comic Collecting (image from eBay).

    It couldn't work the same way, but I think of musical artists who own their own "catalogue" and get paid when someone buys a record or downloads a song.  This is very different as we're talking about individual, unique works of art, but it's too bad the artists can't share in the windfall.

    I believe (some?) NFTs have a mechanism that pays the artist each time the NFT is resold.

    At the least, it’s another revenue stream for artists, at least the famous ones.
