CGC Restored (Purple Label)
This label is applied to any comic book that has evidence of repair so that it will appear as it did when it was in its original condition. Restoration can come in a variety of degrees, from slight professional restoration (SP) to extensive amateur restoration (EA).'Restoration' can mean different things to different collectors; some see cleaning and pressing a vintage comic as restoration, while others see this as harmless, even desirable, maintenance of an aging collectible.
Nevertheless, practically all collectors agree that comics in pristine, unaltered condition are more desirable than comics of equal condition which have been cleaned, pressed, restored, or otherwise altered; thus, the Purple label is a way to quickly differentiate between the two.
