One of the books coming in my latest shipment has "multiple staple detached front cover" in the notes.

I believe this does not mean the same thing a "Cover detached".

The cover is not detached, but there are tears at the staple on the front cover.

Will this say "cover detached" on the label?

The last few books sent through have come back pretty much where I expected them to. With one exception. A Jonah Hex #1 came back as a 7.5 Well below what I expected. 

Ok. no worries. Must be some hidden flaw I missed. Buy the grader notes.

"spine stress lines"

That's it.

Seriously... I expected *something* to explain why the book graded a full grade and a half below what I expected. But I paid $5 for 3 words.

 

I'm not saying the grade is wrong, but I am saying the notes are incomplete and pretty worthless.

The 9.0 Rick and Morty in the same batch had more notes (and had the grade I expected)... "spine stress lines breaks color"

From a grading perspective, what would be the difference in impact for a detached cover (cover loose, but whole) versus a split cover (cover split 100% down the spine with one side (usually the back) attached and the front loose?

Still need 3 for the full comic set.
