Walmart price stickers on Allegiance Arts comics 1 1

[jaysonslade]

Walmart now sells all the new comics from Allegiance Arts. As best I can tell 100% of them have a price sticker on the cover. I'm wondering if the price sticker will detract from the CGC grade any? Especially since trying to remove it could cause more problems than it solves. So for grading purposes, do we leave it alone? Or do we remove the price sticker?

Good morning,

Thanks for your message.  I checked with our graders on this and they advise: 

We would most likely qualify for the sticker on the book as long as the books are in the higher grade range. Some of them may come off without damage, but I wouldn't recommend it unless getting a professional to safely remove.

 

Good news though is the publisher has said that their distributors will not be stickering their future books. 

 

If you have any other questions, please let us know. Thanks!
