And yes I wish everyone would stop the practice of scraping off CT. CGC should not "reward" this behavior with blue labels. I could be wrong, but I believe the other company implemented that several years ago. Got rid of a gray label or something and now they just list the resto on the normal label. Pretty sure nothing changed with any sales. If anything you just have to be much more careful when buying a book, make sure to read the label carefully. But once again, I could be wrong. Just what I recall. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this regard, I'm not sure I blame the CGC, but rather the consumer for creating this monster. lol. I've even thought about actively looking for good deals on purple label books lately. Right, because you're not adding anything to the book but the book will probably grade much lower depending on how much color touch was involved.
