Comics with sticker on the cover 1 1

What label is given for a comic with a sticker placed on the cover by the manufacturer?

Hello @Catwomancomics,

This is a great question! CGC will either qualify or downgrade for anything added to a comic book after manufacturing. Any sticker added to a comic book after manufacturing by a third party (e.g. Dynamic Forces, Celebrity Authentics, Stan Lee Collectibles, etc.) will get a Green Qualified label from CGC, unless the book is already low grade, in which case the defect would be factored into the grade of a Blue Universal label. In either case, the presence of the sticker will still be noted on the CGC label. 

If this was placed on the book during manufacturing though, please send us an email with images of the book in question for our graders to review at submissions@cgccomics.com. Let us know if you have any other questions.

I sent an email today with the book in question.  This book is currently getting a green label.  How will I know if a decision has been made to encapsulate the book in a blue universal label?
