bpc3qh Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 The X-men one is pretty cool; I'm less enamored of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, they are a business. Paying some "expert" to tell you your book is a 9.6 (when to some other "experts" it is a 9.4 and even a few more it might be a 9.8) seems like a cash grad. I think the labels are fine. Not the nicest artwork though on Deadpool. MGsimba77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're introducing it with the Claremont signing but I reached out and they indicated it'll be available to any x-men submission at some point. Its tempting! Hmmnn have to think about it https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/8246/chris-claremont-signing-event/ I'm not really a fan of these custom labels, bat man, that X-Men.one is nice.

I had my copy of New Mutants #98 signed and requested this custom label. It came back as a CGC 10 ...........so I threw it in the trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgross.com Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 i think that art on the label competes with the art on the cover. i prefer plain labels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobotski Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Just to predict the next batch of labels, and with all the current events, it may be Black Panther (not a big market though). Fantastic Four may also be long overdue. I don't really feel strong or against it, but I have to say there are some good label-book combinations that work.

NebraskaGuy Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I love these labels. I am a newer collector but in my 30s. I think they make the presentation look better. Just my humble opinion. Wishlist: Miles Morales, Spider Gwen, FF (which is way overdue), Thanos Bring Back: Avengers, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Daredevil Please Keep: All in existence right now. Won't Happen but would be cool: Villains like Kingpin, Red Skull, Loki, Doom, Sinister Six, Knull, X-Men villain cluster to counter the hero cluster as I call it. Throwing some out there. And I get the thought that it takes away from the art. So I do like the option component of it. Both fans for and fans against can both get what they want. This is what makes collecting fun right? We all do what makes us happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveinthecity Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I wasn’t too fond of the custom labels, but thought this one looked nice, the brighter label art over the more muted covers of the comic page. This led me to thinking if going forward people insist on slabbing individual pages of a book, CGC(or whoever) could place a smaller thumbnail of the actual comic cover a particular page is from on the label. Sort of ties the two images together. I’m sure the logistics are too convoluted or expensive, but I think it would make for a nice presentation. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
