How Can This Happen? 4 4

[Math Teacher]

A user on Instagram is selling Fantastic Four CGC 2.0 blue label. I'm not commenting on his price. The CGC certification number is: 3795986003.

Here are the grader notes:

TOP EDGE OF COVER TRIMMED
extra staple manufacturing
heavy creasing to cover
moderate staining to cover
tape cover

How can any book that is trimmed get a blue label?!?

Does this book have a custom label?

Might not. The Dylan Special books generally show as restored in the cert lookup. This one's lookup record claims to be a 2.0 Universal.

Grade date 03/04/2021, so, unfortunately, my first guess is that this is a QA .

@CGC Mike, can we assume that all books with trimmed label notations are still intended to get purple grades?

That's known as a....MISTAKE.

Or as we locals call it, Tuesday.
