  1. Recent purchase from major auction house that was mis-graded. They admitted they missed defects. Original description was corner piece missing from back cover, 1 inch spine split and tearing at staples. They missed an additional 1.25 inch spine split at the top (1 inch spine split they described is at the bottom). They missed the top staple detached from the front cover. They missed the large bend/crease in the middle of the front cover running vertically through the Big Cheese and through the rhino’s horn. The original grade was 5.0. How much would these missed defects affect the “grade”? Thought more appropriate for the Golden Age Section.

  3. There is glue on the spine. Does not look like a book that was removed from a bound volume.
