It seems obvious that a comic book is much more enjoyable (if it has to be in a protective shell ) without a grossly over sized, ugly pale blue tag forever intruding into the experience.. Does any color reproduction of a comic book include such a rectangle attached above a beautiful cover art example ? Isn't a wall of plastic encased comic books, each accompanied by their tags something which could be beautiful but looks like the Dollar Store's candy aisle ? If such a tag is easily located on the back ( where it could actually be enlarged for even more info ) why pretend that the most desirable way to display a rare, beautiful piece of printed artwork is with a tag ? And a huge, extra 20% of surface area tag ? Are photographs and posters displayed with their picture frame packaging still displayed ? It is somewhat nauseating to see comic books treated like coins where condition and the certification of the condition virtually subjugates the element of beauty and in so doing introduces the paternal authority of the grade certifier. This ARTIFICIALLY elevates the presence of the grade certifying authority by presenting the label in a way which actively competes with the artwork presentation... an undesirable conflict and intrusion.
