Topnotchman Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Hand written and date stamps typically do not get dinged by CGC regardless of grade. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 As far as the grading standards (Overstreet/Heritage) are concerned... NM- 9.2 to NM 9.4 - Small, inconspicuous, lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable as long as they are in an unobtrusive location. VF/NM 9.0 - Several lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable. FN/VF 7.0 to VF 8.0 - Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present.
