The label is so old that CGC now labels this book as the 2nd appearance That's definitely an old label, but a really old label has the CGC balance scales in black and white on the left.

Would an even older label have labeled it as modern? I guess not, as it is 1973? Edited August 16, 2018 by ADAMANTIUM clarify.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Books dated 1975-2001 might exist with a red CGC label with the black and white scales on the back. (Not including the red labels that CGC used for Wizard 9.5 slabs) ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not including the red labels that CGC used for Wizard 9.5 slabs) Here's a fun example of the red label... it's a CGC SAMPLE book, from the early days when they needed to show dealers what a slab would look like.

The earliest yellow labels do not have the black and white scales. They didn't come along until the CGC logo had switched to red (like your book) instead of the black and white scales.

I believe they stopped using red labels sometime in July 2001... so any book graded after August 2001 should be a blue label "modern" which is the same blue label as the older books had from the start. The big grade numbers started in late July 2003. Books graded before July 2003 have the tiny grade 9.4, books graded after July 2003 have 9.4 huge on the left. The page quality joined the grade on the left side of the label in April 2016, with the new clearer slabs, but it was June 2016 when the inner well returned after the "wavy comic" problems from April to June. No significant changes since June 2016. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
