CGC announces NEW Pedigree Labels and NEW Pedigrees 3 3

[bronze johnny]

Will we see classic covers get special labels?

Really, does a book like Hit Comics 5 need a label to enhance this Lou Fine work of art?

[EUGENIO NUNO]

Would this MISTER MAGIK WOO count as Pedigree Slab. Obviously they would have to crack and regrade .🤔🤔🤔

Great looking label...

Can a submitter choose which color? If I prefer the blue label with the pedigree designation can I have that instead of the black? Or from this point forward will pedigrees automatically be given a black label?

Actually we can now pick a color based on how we’re feeling that day with the new CGC color pro package now available. No longer must we feel blue when we have a rainbow of colors available to us. You can also mix and match your favorite colors with their new on demand color packages. Navy blue and orange for you, sir...

I get the idea of Black Label: its used on high end retail clothing and alcohol.

Not bad out of the box thinking on their part. 

How many primary colors are left?

Just got an e-mail. I'm on my way to office and starting this on my phone, which I'm not savvy enough to add links from. Maybe a Boardie here can provide that?

Exciting info , but how many of us will be resubmitting for the black label

I have 25 peds - I can't get existed about shipping (which I don't particular like doing to begin with) and paying again (nuff said there). 

However, I don't mind the new separate label color (queue the debates about peds that are conserved, restored or apparent). 

I have four peds scheduled for grading now in fact, going to see if I can get them to give new label.  I have un-unslabbed Harold Curtis that I will now submit.

They are offering a new service to look at an eBay auction for you and give a grade range.  It's like the can you spare a grade forum, but for $10 a pop.

Yet to use? I think none if you don't count the use of white with the black label.

Do I get an A

No xxxt?

That's wild. I'm telling you my IPG (if pressed grade)_tm service is probably closer to reality than joke.

As a recap, its a +/- sign, so say for example my Rodger Dodger CGC 6.0 has an IPG +2.0. - and those collectors legitimately concerned about the "press time loss factor" (PTLF) an already pressed book gets an IPG of AP-1 aka "Already Pressed, Press Time Loss Factor = -1 yr. "

Ah, no.  Like I said the new label is okay by me, but not worth hassle of resub.  I guess your supposed to re-slab every x years anyway to refresh the micro-chamber paper or something like that but that prospect hasn't really thrilled me either...

[Surfing Alien]

This is a pure watering down (non large, high grade only) and up as well (speaking for the Universal only) of the Pedigree label, basically, every rule they have ever made in the past was made to be broken by them for future money streams. I'm not bashing them, i'm a capitalist, but expect more  as time goes on.

As for the ebay deal - that was brilliant. Brand X has made significant inroads (and improvements lately) but this deal, which I assume is an exclusive, immediately stamps CGC as THE authority on the biggest independent marketplace on the planet The other guy can't make that ground up in any way at all. Great marketing coup.
