Since we are on the subject of green labels. I posted a thread on this over a week ago. This book was manufactured with no staples on the cover. It should get a green label and a notation of the error, but CGC decided to go with blue label and make it a full defect I guess. This means that a book with a cool error just looks like another book that shouldn’t have been graded. 

Called them up over a week ago and was told they would look into it and they never did.

Not my book, but someone posted it to a Comic Group on FB .... 4.0 Universal with a missing page.

The "all cap" Label Text is a sure sign that this book was meant to receive a Qualified Grade and be encapsulated with a Green Label.  Whoever graded this book checked the wrong box, and whoever reviewed this book during the Quality Control stage missed the obvious inconsistency.  One certification, two separate whiffs.  :facepalm:

Got this back today.  It's hard to see in the 1st photo, but It's like it's wedged into the slab which has rippled it quite a bit. I think they needed to trim the sides of the inner well a little more.

This, and more extreme examples of irrevocably damaging a book, are why I don't send any of my golden age books in.

@CGC Mike Is there any reasonable explanation why this wasn't caught other than no one actually looked at the book after it was slabbed? I mean its  not really possible to say someone looked at this book and also missed this.

It should have been noticed.  The best I can do is bring it up to QC.  I haven't found the time to compile examples from this thread for a few weeks.  I will be doing one soon.

I think there’s gotta be a QC employee that gets his/her kicks by letting these through.  They probably follow this thread & get a good laugh with friends when their handiwork gets posted....

@CGC Mikethe certification numbers are showing up as invalid in the system so how am I supposed to submit these for Mechanical Error?

Their submission tracking is down. It goes down more often that a cheap lady of the night. 

Have to wait till their it crew gets it fixed.
