Removing comic stickers/ digital redemption question

[perdvenom]

All the modern Marvel comics now as you know come with a digital code to redeem online. Ive only redeemed a handful of comics, but wondered if by taking off the sticker will it ruin the overall appeal and value of a comic? I read on another comic forum that if it were to be graded the best it would get would be a CGC green label. Anyone have any first hand experience dealing with this?

Isn't a book best left exactly as it appeared on the stand?

I don't see how it would get a green label.

I don't think it would get a green label, but it may be noted on the label that the digital code was removed. If so, that would probably turn off many collectors.

Oh yeah I misunderstood-if you remove the sticker I can see it getting a green label. I'd leave the sticker.

CGC will not downgrade a book below 9.8 for the label being removed from the digital code, but it will always be noted on the CGC label itself that it has been removed.

 

"Digital code label removed"

or

"Manufactured without peel apart sticker for digital download."

 

are notations you may already have seen on some CGC labels out there.

 

 

If the sticker and label are both present as they should be, no special notation is made on the CGC label.

Oh ok. come to think of it I have seen that notation in the past, but only on blue labels. Cool, thanks for clearing that up.
