cupny Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I have a Silver Surfer #1 that has a coupon removed - that doesn't affect the story. Would this come back a Blue Label or not? Thanks in advance for any help here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 It would probably come back in a Green (Qualified) Label. If the rest of the book is low to mid grade, it may come back as blue but with a very low grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupny Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Thanks for your insight. Has anyone else submitted a book with this type of flaw that can share their experience? The book is mid-grade and I wouldn't bother grading the book if it came back qualified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grendel72 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 It should still remain blue but as mentioned earlier take a massive hit on the grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupny Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Thank you. If the book grades a 4.0- 5.0, any guesses on where the grade might land with this type of interior defect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Even if it's in a Blue label, it will still have the notation on the label, lowering the desirability for many collectors. If it's 4.0, I don't think I would submit it. It would only be a 200.00 book and a tough sell with the defect. Is it really worth the slabbing expenses ? Also, realize that when it is in a blue label, the defect will be counted against the grade. That is a big chunk missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC33 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I have a Hulk #1 just like it. As is you will get a 1.5 blue label that looks much better. For example, my Hulk 1 (that otherwise looks VG-) got a 1.5 with the same issue. Truth be told given how well it shows and it being a coupon that's not a story page, GPA gets you really close to 2.0 area, but if it looks FN or better, then request the green level and probably get even more. You can request the green label in these situations, otherwise I think they default to the blue label 1.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't even be worth a hundred bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC33 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Unless it shows well otherwise and the owner wants it protected in a nice slab to show off. Do the CGC value service at 10% off, not really for making profit, but maybe still worth it to him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
