Why doesn't CGC labels talk about Spidey's 2nd/3rd appearances?

^ it was, but the discussion ended the same way this one is going - still no definitive reason why the community views ASM1 as his 2nd appearance, ASM2 as his 3rd appearance, but no indication from CGC as such

 

Maybe because it's so well known, they just take it for granted. You can call or email CGC and ask them.

Maybe it's part of a shadowy, cosmic conspiracy so we don't all consider ASM#1 in the context of other second appearances of major Marvel characters, all of which it dwarfs in value in comparable grade, presumably because Spidey is more popular than the rest AND (in probably too large part if we are honest with ourselves) because it says #1 on the cover.

 

Hmm....would the market suddenly drive up the price of JIM #84, TOS #40, Hulk #2 etc or crash Spidey #1? Probably neither, but it is a fun if slightly tangential thought that this thread brought up in my mind.

 

Might be blasphemy, but I could see a reasonable argument for a closer gap among all those second appearances, with Spidey atop the heap. I could even see An argument for Hulk #2 being neck and neck. Makes me wonder, if there internet chat boards in the '70s might we have found folks contending that Tec 27 should knock off Marvel Comics #1; that Cap #1 and All-Star #8 are undervalued; that All-Star #3 is overvalued, etc....

 

I think I just talked myself into buying some things I wasn't planning on.....?

I really wish CGC would have the label updated CBCS indicates it on their label.

If "well known" is being considered, then there's no need to mention Superman on Action #1.

But CGC consistently (as much as they consistently do anything) notes first appearances. How many characters have second appearances noted?

The community doesn't "view" any of that. Those are simple facts, regardless of whether a specific entity explicitly acknowledges them.

 

It doesn't matter what CGC issue notes appear on a label. They are meaningless. They don't change anything about the book. Even worse, they are inconsistent and sometimes inaccurate.

Wolverine, Batman, Superman all have their second appearances noted on labels
