Do we know why they don't have any DC or Star Wars labels?

@nepatkm think we'll ever get a punisher label? @Parabellum

Probably not...

It wouldn't bother me to be honest.  I think the custom labels are a thinly veiled "money grab".  I have a few books with custom labels (purchased this way) and I will most likely have them re-holdered.  No offense to collectors who enjoy them, I know I'm probably in the minority on this topic.  But when I see people that haven't received their books in 6 months or more and CGC's efforts appear to be everywhere but grading books I get irritated.  Again, just my opinion.

looks like they moved ole Ben over on the FF label so he wouldn't be covered by the hologram and also planned accordingly for the other new images

 

No.  That's always been the selling image.  The actual label is still a failure. 

I have brought this up to marketing.  The image was moved over but, it's possible the old version wasn't thrown out.  The Marketing manager is checking, and will make sure the change is made.

I wish the Ghost Rider one had classic 1970s art instead of the more modern image they used.  I guess I won't be ordering that label if I submit any older Ghost Rider books.

I'd send in a bunch of early Batman/Detective if they created a Bob Kane label

Obviously a way for CGC to make a few extra bucks. But in my option, the custom labels on the books that inspired the artwork are FIRE, like Wolverine #2, JiM #83, GSX, etc.

Making an announcement about their new labels....while still failing to address their QC fail....reminds me of this:

How did this ever get screwed up in the first place???  The label format is a standard setup, left to right - grade box, comic info, hologram for authenticity.  The background artwork has to dodge those 3 things.  Was that too complicated???  Was 3 too big a number?  Apparently.....yes.

Only the most incompetent of people could set this up to fail.  Very sad.

Still no monsters customer labels. Werewolf by night dracula blade. What about midnight sons or legion of monsters.
