I did something I never thought I would do……

I despise rusty staples and always have. However, I think I'd rather have the rusty staple than the GLOD it would get from CGC if I replaced the staples. But that's just me.

 

 

if i collected slabbed books i may feel the same. what i don't understand is how a comic with

tape or tape pulls can get a blue lable.

A nice job. I think you did the 'right' thing.

I'm curious to know how CGC detects vintage staple replacement. Not that I expect them to tell me, just curious.

i'm not sure that they can detect it 100% of the time but IMHO would expect the following to be the typical scenario:

 

the most logical reason to replace the staples is that they have begun to rust and stain the comic. as such, a submission with rust marks on the cover around the staple area, but with non-rusty staples would set off the alarm bells...........and, i would surmise, result in closer than normal scrutiny..........

 

don't have a clue what might happen if staples were replaced for other reasons......

One of the earliest questions I posed in the Ask CGC forum was on that point. Here is the thread. I tried to bump it, but that forum is moderated, so the bump won't happen any time soon.
