Rule of Thumb on Green Label value?

[localshop]

To touch on something that I brought up on the Gold forum.

 

How much does the 'Green' (Qualified) label affect the value of the book? This is probably a tricky one to quantify - in particular, let's look at a few different reasons why you may get one:

 

1/ Page missing (incomplete)

2/ Signed on front cover

3/ Pinholes (for example, the GS X-Men #1 that was discussed recently)

4/ Staple pull

 

Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Interesting question......for me if the signature was real then I would potentially pay a premium for it. If the book was a GA then things like staple pulls would not effect my buy decisions. Defacing such as pin holes on the other hand turn me off as I believe they are an eye sore and seriously detract from the books presentation.

 

In most cases if I bought a GLOD then I would probably crack the slab and display it raw.

You find this pinhole objectionable:

It is that book that I find objectionable.

 

To be honest I do find that hole annoying. I have a B&B #54 (Bethlehem) that has a small fleck missing from the front cover (same effect as a pinhole) and I can't stand to look at it. It really irritates me.

 

So go figure....date stamps are fine, minor miscuts are fine, small printing errors are fine but pinholes and the like

 

Damn I am strange.

I thought that that went with the territory being Australian

 

Slightly off-topic: Did the B&B have a qualified label too?

 

These labels are doing my head in (and many others based on the other threads).

No it didn't have a PLOD because it technically does not go through the cover. It is like someone dragged a pin across the cover not through it.

 

Must have had a major impact on the book because it grades a 6.5.
