Joe Fox Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Both of these boooks are missing the stickers but otherwise complete. Why is one green and one blue? Edited July 28, 2023 by Joe Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 The Universal would otherwise have to be in 7.0+ condition to be considered for Qualified. Or, perhaps the submitter requested a blue label. Maybe shenanigans are at play. One cannot be sure. Dr. Balls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is, they discounted the grade accordingly. Meaning, they deducted the grade for the sticker being missing. Alternatively, they just made a mistake.

Not sure why you'd send toilet paper to CGC, but to each their own. Edited July 28, 2023 by theCapraAegagrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cman429 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I have a Spawn #1 that I submitted with centerfold poster missing on accident. Came back a 7.5 Blue when intact I’m sure it was a NM grade. I think in cases like these where you don’t specify anything CGC just takes it upon themselves to give you a blue or green as they see fit Joe Fox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a book without a centrefold come back a blue .5 last month, it would have been around 2.0-3.0 intact I expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason that you will find blues and greens like the two in your opening post is that CGC are inconsistent, and make mistakes. Even if they have a stated treatment policy (as per the link I gave you) they can still get it wrong Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I have a conversation going on with them at the moment about a different book and they've assured me that they never make "grading" mistakes, they only make "labelling" mistakes BlowUpTheMoon and Lazyboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
