Wolverine #1 limited edition cgc question...

[husslord26-migration]

I have two copies of wolverines issue one of the limited series. Once is with the typical blue universal cgc label, the other is the old red label.....is it true the red labels are worth more??? I hear yes and no, any word....Thanks guys!

I dont think the Red Labels are worth any more.

 

From what I understand, Red was their old color for the Universal label

[Par2ch]

There are those that prefer old labels because they believe that they maybe able to crack them out and resubmit them for a higher grade.

Wasn't the old red label the 'Modern' label?

[Jeffreykli]

Yep; the red label is the old "modern" tier. They phased it out when they went to the new format.

 

Some people like the red labels (or the old smaller labels) since there was a time period where people think that CGC was harsher than they are now on the books. Additionally, it's thought that old label books have not recently been pressed, so there's a sense that they're "safer."

Red was even earlier... the red label was "modern" (1975 to present), then the blue label was used,

still with the tiny writing of the old label style, then blue with the large number (current) format.

 

Wolverine Limited Series (and other moderns) might be any of these three label styles... all meaning "universal".
