Pantodude Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Wreck-It Ralph said: if you bought a graded book with an insert like the one above would it be mentioned on the grade label? when you say variants do you mean price variants like a British pence price or a cent variation like Star Wars 35 cent or are you referring to some other type of variation? Yes, the label will note the insert. And yes, I’m referring to UK price variants (and Australian and Canadian PVs, which were all tiny subsets of the initial print run), and experimental price variants (like Star Wars #1 35-cent variant of 30-cent book), also scarce.

Hollywood1892 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 15 hours ago, Pantodude said: Here's an example of an ad-page insert (similar to Mark Jewelers) that I had handy. Few books had them, so folks seek them out, like they do other uncommon versions of books, like variants. There is a good thread on this. Top of p23 has pix of actual MJ inserts. Books with such inserts fetch a premium. Do you get a green label if the Mark Jewellers insert is taken out of the Mark Jewellers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantodude Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Not sure if CGC treats like an ASM238 missing its tattooz, or a 3-D-ell #1 missing its 3-D glasses, which do get green label, assuming CGC could tell that it's missing from a book that originally had the MJ insert. In other words, if you submit a book and tell CGC (in an angelic interest in full disclosure) that it used to have a MJ insert, CGC technically might have to issue a green label, I think.
