Speaking of which, is there a place for a list of retired labels? 

The dustbin?

I'm curious to see how far back they go, and if the Stan label is there because I know there were 2 official editions: 1 for his website at the time, which was even 'more limited". and then one in "general availability" directly from CGC...

There wouldn't even be a Stan Lee label if it wasn't for Jack Kirby and....

 I think that google finds enough threads for now... thanks though

I think the problem is somebody doesn't understand what a vault is. They can be locked then opened again...

I once crept into a crypt, crapped and crept out again. Does that help?

I know you're just trying to end his arguing, but I read what you wrote and understood it  👍

I agree cgc labels are a strange thing to place any sort of value on....and I also agree you weren't telling others what to do.

Then why are you on a CGC message forum when you don’t believe in the CGC label product?

Seems like a weird place to be when you don’t support the products they create. 

I also understood you were against labels with your sarcasm. Your disrespect wasn’t lost.

If my AF15 had a retired label and they unretired it, I'd be fuming too.

Because, as we all know, the real value is in the label.

True enough, but I haven't seen the "vault" term used in much advertising, as opposed to "limited edition labels.".

I could be reading it wrong. I don't really keep up with them. I've bought them, as it was what was affordable though 😂

Some people are here because they blindly love CGC.

Some people are here because they like and use CGC, but still have problems with some of the stupid things they do.

Some people are just here because this is the best comic book message board (because of the members, not the company).

Spot on. And boy do we have some members here

Oh good thing you quoted Lazyboy, otherwise I wouldn’t have read what they wrote, considering they’ve been blocked for a long time. 

Some member, can’t acknowledge the company that brought people together.

I always find myself defending CGC on these boards from a vocal minority that feel compelled to trash the company and their decisions on virtually all threads.

It’s sad to see how a company goes out of its way to create and monitor a message board, specifically to help create a community, only to help develop a vocal minority constantly hack and trash them with their toxic attitudes.

They certainly get some things right, for which they deserve praise, and they certainly get some things wrong, for which they deserve criticism (the more constructive the better). I personally believe they neglect this community but we all have our different takes on things. It's free, so you can't complain too much I suppose. From where I'm standing, CGC are here primarily to make money and they seem to be doing OK on that front. I'm here to have fun, support the hobby, and to rub along with fellow, like-minded comic collectors.

OK, now we're in trouble. 

Run everybody, run!

I’m here because I was looking for crazy Guyanese chicks. But comics are fun too, I guess.

Disney is the only other company that I can think of that used the term "vault". They experienced the same complaints when they re-released videos from the vault decades later. Some people thought vault meant retired permanently, I guess.

Okay, let me make sure I got this.  According to you....

Not finding value in custom labels means I shouldn't be on the forum?   

Weren't you the guy whining about someone telling people what to collect... when he wasn't ?

FYI, I don't care what you understood.

What a weird hobby.

You should find another.... like label collecting.

A while back CGC came out with the really cool concept of adding artwork to labels.

 

They then created demand by 'vaulting labels'  so if you were lucky and got your book graded while a label was available it felt 'special'

They just announced they are un-vaulting the NY spiderman label

 

WHY?>????

 

This totally takes away from the whole idea of vaulting in the first place -   graded slabs with a highly sought after label were desirable - now it no longer matters - you might as well just not vault anything and have a 100+ to choose from on a drop down

 

Bad decision to un-vault -   period.  Keep things rare and keep the feeling that you had special labelled slabs -   design new labels instead -  do not un-vault any additional labels - please.

You know, if this is the worst thing that happened to you this month, I would say that you have had a pretty good month.

No one is telling you what to collect. 

So why are you telling people what they should?

He, in no way, told anyone what they should and not should collect. If you want to infer that from his simple statement, that is on you.

Based on other products (Disney for example), being put in a vault never means it's permanently exclusive. 

Except for Song of the South.

He, and I, use this forum because we are interested in CGC services. I can't speak for the original poster, but the labels are not important to me, and they never will be.

You know, if I didn't know any better, I would think that you are telling other people what to do.
