How Much Would You Pay for a Conserved Grade on a SA Key?

My mistake was thinking that CGC ever put "married cover only" restoration books in purple labels.

I just found an ASM 4, graded 9.6 qualified in 2011, with graders notes that only include married cover. Long before the conserved label.

Now I'm hoping that my ASM 3 was an error going in to a green slab, because aesthetically, I like the conserved label more.

My 129 and 10  with staples replaced are in conserved labels.

Why would it be an error, married covers have nothing to do with conservation, aren't they still simply green label?

I have no idea yet, but every indication is, to me, that my green label from 2019 had the exact same thing done to it as this conserved label graded in 2017.
I can't document whether or not married covers have joined "staples replaced" in escaping the green labels that they used to be given.
