rcschoen Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Does this mean the card has an error? What type of error is the green label? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator CGC Mike Posted April 11, 2022 Administrator Share Posted April 11, 2022 Hello Here is the description of the blue and green labels. Mike The blue Universal Label is applied to trading cards that are simply the grade as marked, with no qualifiers or special considerations.The green Qualified Label is used by CGC Trading Cards for certified cards that have a significant defect that needs specific description, or to note an unauthenticated signature (one that was not witnessed by CGC Trading Cards).

rcschoen Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 Thank you - is there any way to tell what the defect is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator CGC Mike Posted April 11, 2022 Administrator Share Posted April 11, 2022 I believe the defect is noted on the back of the label. For example, an unauthenticated signature will say "inked". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_jhacnio Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Hi Mike, What is the meaning of a green label that is NOT a comic book and says Inked, but there is no signature on the card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually means someone used a pen/ink to try and color in whitening/defects on the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KaileeS CS Posted February 26, 2023 Administrator Share Posted February 26, 2023 Hello @jeff_jhacnio, "inked" simply means that our team identified ink/pen somewhere on the card that we were able to determine was not there when printed by the factory. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
