CGC blue label with color touch

119 posts in this topic

Isn't one of the reasons CGC gave a pass to some GA books was the fact that some of the Church books got touched up?

 

Restored is restored. They designate S/M/E, but some get a pass. Makes no sense other than greed lives.

 

Well there must be some happy number of allowance they are going by on it.

 

I think the bigger issue is that CGC doesn't seem to disclose information like this.

 

It is on the label :baiting:

 

 

Not exactly what I mean. I think you know that...

 

I mean that CGC should be open about what is the allowed amount.

I used to have some of those GA blue label, very minor resto books. But at some point somebody convinced me that they were mislabeled and thus worthless.

 

 

So I burned them.

If only you had known someone who could have removed the restoration. hm

I imagine one was a Tec 27 right?

No, but there was a Detective 37...

Really sweet books, but they are mislabeled.

Just Golden Age. Not Silver.

 

I think there's an AF #15 with a similar notation? (shrug)

 

Interesting. I've never seen a blue label SA book with CT.

 

Yea I was pretty certain I'd seen a Silver Age book with CT. I believe it was indeed a Marvel but I feel like it may have been an FF 1 and not an AF 15....

 

Or it could have been both? hm

 

There's a Showcase #4 like that, but I can't remember if it's glue or CT.

Some GA books get a free pass. I dont know why but im sure someone else Roy will (thumbs u

Well, seeing as you asked politely...

 

:D

 

Pretty easy to explain and CGC notates it on the back of every grading label.

 

From my understanding, CGC blue label allows for a small amount of colour touch or glue in a blue label if the colour touch or glue do not increase the grade of the book. So they are treated as defects (as though someone had put a dot of writing or glue on the book) and graded as such.

 

If the colour touch or glue does increase the grade of the book, the book is placed in a purple holder and the book is graded with the colour touch or glue as restoration.

 

I believe that's how they differentiate.
