THIS COPY REPRESENTS THE ONLY CONSERVED COPY OF DETECTIVE
Conserved (Blue lable with grey top) Blue lable universal copies can contain tape inside to mend tears yet
still maintain it's universal status, however when leaf casting is done to the tears of interior pages it is
considered conservation, or the conserving of the page. The distinguishing differnce can be very slight.
Conserving can also include, as in the case of this copy, adding Original Unrestored pages into an Original
Unrestored book.
Qualified (green lable) books which sell for considerably more than Restored copies often include an coupon
cut from the issues that affects the story.
Restored (purple lable) copies generally include serious alterations to the cover such as pieces added, color
touch etc. Whatever the repairs are they typically are listed within CGC's notes for the book.
The conservation for this particular issue involves the insertion of original pages from a 2nd copy, an act of
conservation that does not constitute restoration, as well as light leaf casting of interior pages rather than the
use of tape, which is permitted on universal blue label copies. .

The Cover of this copy issue remains untouched, the same as any universal blue lable. -- This is very significant as only
a handful of copies exist with the grade of 7.0 or higher.
Sixty eight (68) CGC universal graded copies have been graded with only four at the lofty level of CGC 7.0.
One (1) This copy of Detective Comics #33 represents the only copy ever given "Conservation Status" by CGC.
Four (4) qualified copies exist albeit in the lowest of grades (All 3 CGC 1.0 or less)
Thirty Eight (38) restored copies exist.
This conserved copy should rightfully price out closer to that of a universal copy rather than that of a restored copy with both universal and conserved valued at multiple times that of a restored copy.
