Would this get a green label?

[DavidTheDavid]

There pieces of tape on spine and misreading pages 3 and 12, affects story.

What do you mean by "misreading pages"? That they're swapped? If so, yes, Qualified label with a grade drop for the tape.

[DavidTheDavid]

That was an autocorrect error. I meant missing pages

[mschmidt]

Qualified label.

missing pages - affecting story --- incomplete. I have seen books with only a story panel missing get an incomplete.

Not green just for missing pages and tape. Blue label .5, assuming there is no restoration detected. I just got a copy of AF 15 back from CGC, blue label .5, and the note on the label reads "back cover, 1st wrap and centerfold missing, affects story. Front cover reattached with tape. Incomplete." So you can definitely still get a blue label.

You can ask for a blue label and get a 0.5 incomplete grade. The default is a green, qualified label for missing interior pages.

I have submitted 3 different SA books in the last year that have come back .5 because of missing interior pages and never once did I ask for a blue label. So I am not sure green is the default. If you want a blue label though maybe you should ask, I have just never attempted that myself.
