Conacon Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Morning, everyone! I bought this at a mini-con last weekend. I keep hearing that manufacturer errors do not give a book the green label. Any insight on this? I remember reading a long time ago about the upside down error, but I can't find anything on the internet about it. Any help would be appreciated!

wardevil0 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 It seems CGC has been inconsistent with Qualified/Universal labels on manufacturing errors. Currently, it looks like errors get blue labels with the problem description on the label. This thread may be helpful: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conacon Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 Thanks, wardevil0, I was scrolling through that thread this morning. I vaguely remember owning a comic that the pages were out of order. I think I took it a part and fixed it! Long time ago. Anyway, I think this particular book was graded in 2017. Should I send it back in? Would a change from Green to Blue change the value enough to make it worthwhile? Has anyone ever heard about this particular error in this comic? Just wondering if it's come up before. I didn't see it in the CELEBRATE THE MANUFACTURING ERRORS thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardevil0 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Personally, I don't think it would be worth reholdering/regrading. I would think anyone interested in manufacturing error comics would understand the green label and why it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardevil0 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 This page has a second print upside down: https://tmnt-ninjaturtles.com/comics/mirage-studios-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-vol-i-01-2nd-error-signed-inside-cover-9-2-9-7-nm/?highlight=upside down They may be the best point of contact for specific TMNT info like this.

That's what I was thinking, but the way people talk, the green label is the "label of death" for sellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The green label is bad for people trying to flip unwitnessed signatures or Hulk 181 with the Marvel Value Stamp cut out, but in these cases it should be fine. A lot of people would overlook your green label TMNT, but they wouldn't have wanted one with upside down pages either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revat Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 If you're not satisfied with the current state, I'd contact CGC about it directly and see if there are any options. Otherwise its a moot point right? regardless of what random internet strangers think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
