I've seen this color-mixing with restored signature books, but this is new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpc3qh Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 I think it's supposed to be grey, not purple--that's right. So was this book just a mistake by CGC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_BEYONDER Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I think it’s more accurate with the purple than grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, with both the CPR game in full bloom and with how much CGC has bastardized their undsiclosed grading standards to the point that it is almost suicidal from a grading POV for a submittor to even consider sending in a book without having it pre-screen for pressing at a minimum, it's actually even much more accurate that they eliminate the blue label entirely and slab everything with a purple label.

Lightning55 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I think they spin a rainbow wheel. Where the arrow lands, that's the color you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrover Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 The one conserved book I've had was (coincidentally) this one... Avengers 4... actually a 9.4 (cover cleaned). I had it slabbed in 2018 and got the blue-gray label. For selling, I'd definitely prefer that label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D84 is right... this was the original incarnation of the conserved label before it was adjusted. Book and labeling is fine. onlyweaknesskryptonite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
