Book might never be opened again in our lifetime.That book shouldn't ever be opened with those staples!
Still, almost wish that CGC (and the collecting community) wasn't so sensitive to "CONSERVATION" (i.e. not restoration) and allow a great book like that to get NEW staples. In this case, I agree with you 100%!
The really sad things are (1) That book should never have gotten the grade it got with those staples and (2) Replacing the staples to conserve that book should be appreciated, not looked down on! Complete shame, all the way around!
