Just out of curiosity (and I dont mean to poop on anyones book!) why is the Batman a blue label? Tape on Golden age stuff isn't considered resto correct? Something like that...

 

Tape isn't restoration on any book.

 

 

Which I still have a hard time grasping imo.

Tape isn't considered resto by CGC or Overstreet.

 

If you want to consider it resto, that's up to you as an individual collector.

Taping a cover back onto a comic to get a higher blue label book is just wrong and should received the PLOD.

 

 

That might be the case, but that's not what I said.

I think that's what I struggle with.

 

Having a "small piece of tape on back cover" is one thing. Having an entire cover reattached by tape is another.

 

Just my 2 cents.

It's an unfortunate loop hole. No law is perfect.

One that is very easily closed. Its quite easy to tell the difference between tape that's maybe a month old and tape that's quite a few years old.
