    Hey everyone! I am wanting to see if anyone has encountered this in grading. I know CGC allows very small bindary tears at the top and bottom without generally a hit to the grade, but I have some Heir to the Empire books that have what look like some slight splits down the side that appear to be manufacturing defects due to this thicker stock paper they used for these. I have two sets of the 1-6 and see it on some (not on others). the thing is the books are almost flawless otherwise so it is not like a spine split from a 60-7- year old book. One run I bought from the shop when they came out and have been stored correctly ever since, so I am pretty sure it was bought like that. I guess my ultimate question is if the book would otherwise have gotten a 9.6-9.8, would that be allowable to keep it at that grade? I tried to upload a picture, but could not for some reason. I have seen this on others types of these covers, so I am sure somebody has encountered this. Thank you!

    I became a member in November 2021 and upgraded my membership in the same month. I was not charged the difference, but the full amount. I have not found an email or phone number to get this resolved. Can you help?
