Registry Cover Scans - With or Without the CGC Label?

[Loki]

My scanner doesn't fit an entire slab, so my scans only show the bottom part of the label and always look "incomplete". Sometimes I'll use a seller's scan if it's got the entire label present, but I prefer to use my own scans.

 

Anyhow, I've been thinking of adding scans that crop out the label entirely and I was wondering what folks think... Should registry scans include the label or is it permissable to show only the book?

I think this is up to you. I have see many set with CGC comics photos without the bottom or only half of the CGC comic showing.

 

Personnaly I prefer seeing the label because of what it is written on it (Cover artist, general notes etc.).

Your set, your choice. Personally, I like to see the label too

Seeing the label is nice, but if you're stuck with a choice between showing the full comic cover & showing the label, I'd say go with the comic & forget the label. You can always type the label info as the Description info.

Thanks for the feedback, guys! Sounds like the consensus is that I can use whatever scan I want.

 

I'll have to give it some more thought. I agree that having the label in the scan looks better than no label. My problem is that I just don't like how my scans look when I only have the bottom half of the label. I guess I'm an "all or nothing" type...

 

I suppose I could always shell out for a legal sized scanner. That would put the issue to rest.

Or maybe you could take photo of your CGC comics and then upload them on your computer and edit them with photoshop or whatever. That way you will be able to show everything
