CGC Labels Over the Years, When to Crack & Press, & Newton Rings!

A black (pedigree) label would awesome to have. I've never heard of a conservative label before.

Cowabunga fam 🤙

Matt, my brother! So good to see you. And dropping great knowledge (at least for me) as well!

welcome back 🏴‍☠️ thank you for the information ☠☠☠

Great vid my man! it's cool to see the history!

I've never seen those older cgc labels before very cool bro!!

You talked about your wife having a big key, my wife's big key is her older-label 9.6 Detective 359 w/ white pages. It kinda drives me nuts because I KNOW that with a pressing it would be a 9.8, the only things holding it back are some light dents and finger bends, from turning pages. BUT the case is signed by Carmine Infantino, one of the last things he ever publicly signed, and she doesn't want to lose that.

Nice video, thank you. I recently bought a Mad #12 comic CGC Universal 7.0, graded in 2003. It’s labeled “off white pages.” I’m definitely having it regraded after seeing your video.

So is it worth grading a signed books since it will get that green label?

Can you recommend someone to press and clean?

You still have that Thanos 13 ?

What a great video! I stopped collecting CGC's, which you now call slabs, back in 2003, and they are all first and second generation. I stopped getting my comic books graded (I don't know what the term is nowadays), as I was spending too much money. Very cool to see your reaction on a red label.

Man that ASM 129 9.8 is glorious!! Your wife has one hell of a book there. Thanks for the breakdown on the different labels!

Awesome info, I received two slabs I got online and I got the 3.0 I thought it was faked

TJ Watson pointed out that the red label was only used for modern books up until 2001. The blue label was used for all the others. Thanks TJ!
