Then now people are selling Blue Label Restored comics with the new notations?

 

What new notations? confused-smiley-013.gif

Look under the 8.0 on the left of the label. Looks like new notations to me.

 

But I think CGC started adding those to newer Restored books, thus negating any valid reason to change colors.

Ah, it appears the guy changed the color to Blue and it's actually just a current label. Good catch banner, but just imagine when the scammers will no longer have to know how to use Photoshop.

Well, in a way it has indeed started. The paranoia regarding the new label colors and the ease in which scammers can manipulate them has begun.

 

Which is understandable.

 

But that's been going on since day one...or 2....

 

I remember when I first got into CGC and found these board there was a guy that had restored books on eBay that were blue...he stated that that was the way the scanner interpreted them... 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

If you've got some restored Hulk 181's, it appears they're selling for a premium. tongue.gif

Yeah, what a scamster, he clearly used Photoshop to get rid of the "CGC Restored Grade" in big white letters at the center of the top of the label.

 

Oh no, wait, he didn't. makepoint.gif

I spoke with Mark and expressed my concern regarding blue labels being used for all books. Too easy to white out the notations in the grade box and no more need to turn purple labels blue with Photoshop, etc. I guess we will have to see where all of this goes.

Funny how the top bidder hasn't won an item since Feb. 13, 2003.

 

Then all of a sudden he jumps the bid from #385 to $900

Please compare the two photos, both low-quality, both restored purple labels. Can you really not see the difference?
