Are red labels extinct?

[gaz973]

I think I still have a couple.

I think I'm down to four:

I have quite a few. Probably all of my X-Men 94 to 141 run are also red labels.

So why did CGC do red lables for Modern?

 

Did they also do different colored labels for Gold/Silver/Bronze?

It just separated Modern tier from other ages as well as the three qualified grades.

Doesn't really answer why Silver and Gold weren't similarly identified with each having their own color. I think it was a marketing thing--they didn't grade Moderns the same way as the others and the cost was far less, so they felt some need to differentiate them with a different color. They eventually thought better of it for good reason.

I had a few but those are gone. I kind of liked the red label books.

that idea would probably cost a lot of money towards CGC. Seeing how every age having a different tag and it being color coded. Its like them not doing treasury books, because the cost is way too high. It would be cool to have different colors for different ages though.
