Hi there.
I have a CGC copy of Batman v3 #50 Jae Lee Dynamic Forces virgin color cover that has a wrong label on it. The front label states "Batman #50 Dynamic Forces Virgin Edition" however the label on the top reads "Dynamic Forces B&W virgin edition.
I also have a Detective Comics #1000 that is the black and white version (I have two) but both labels list it as a "sketch" edition.
Has anyone else run into these kind of errors with these companies?
Just curious.
Thanks
Donald

I saw the other day that a copy of Modern Love #2 was identified as being published by Superior who did Canadian EC reprints. The book did not have the "SDD" distributor's mark that would be on the book Superior published. It was an American EC identified as a Canadian EC. The Canadian version would be more rare and could command a much higher price in the current market. 10 years ago, it'd be worth about half of the American version. Either way, it was a pretty bad error.
My understanding is the the label text is pre-saved for everything and all it takes is to pull up the wrong book's label info when they go to print it. It's also my understanding that quality control is supposed to look for such errors.
In all honesty, I don't think it is possible for the employees to know everything that exists. This kind of error is easy to make.

I have seen a comic book that has obviously been cut you can no longer tell which issue it is due to this cut of the comic book and furthermore it was Graded by CGC as a 9.2 or I believe a 9.4 and furthermore if it was cut wouldn't that make it a restored grade and furthermore alot less of a grade more like a 3.0 or 5.5 tops but I don't know how this person got such a high grade the only thing I can think of is because of it being a company that does business with CGC 24/7. So I take it as long as you have the money for the grade they, tend to work for you and not against you. This is how it truly has become seriously I have seen this bull crap go on with Comic Books and video games wata games is the exact same way I once sent a sealed Game in to be graded it was with wata games it came back 9.2 A++ and furthermore my friend who has tons of games and they know him through youtube channel he has. We decided to open it up out of the wata case sent it in his name to be graded and we'll it was much faster than mine and furthermore the grade came back a 9.8 A+++ so seriously it's came down to people only wanting to keep the masses well off and for the average person docile and vulnerable to keep trying to survive in the world and maybe one day you can be a part of there club. But me being a RETIRED ARMY RANGER I guess I am not invited to the party anymore lol. But I am okay with it I just truly want to know who gives them the permission to grade books and basically if they can do it is there a set amount of who can grade comic books cause if not I am down with building my own infrastructure and furthermore doing it honestly not quick for a buck, but for a possible reward for doing the right thing all the time and furthermore why is everything at CGC to grade a book you have to be enrolled in a classification of grading groups to get your comics graded so there's an enrollment fee processing fee and the comic book grading fee and then furthermore you have to wait 6 weeks possibly longer to receive a comic book back now to me it's a little bit absurd to have to pay an additional fee just to send in a comic book and get a graded score. Especially whenever it was never like that before. When wizard comics was around to grade comic books.

If a printer mis-cuts a comic, it doesn't always lower the grade. You can have a poor specimen from a printer that is still NM.
I don't agree with that.
I think date stamps are a defect. Grading companies don't unless it's a particularly bad and ugly example.
In the early 80's, there was a grade called "Pristine Mint" and it was described as particularly rare and abnormal.
Now, the "Pristine Mint" grade is called "Mint" and all the designated grades have shifted down one grade from what they were 40 years ago.
