  1. Hello,

    I was wondering if you could explain these scuffs or smudges within the inner well of the casing. I'm considering getting this reholdered but what worries me that the grade could be affected during this process. The case is in great condition no cracks whatsoever. Can't imagine these were originally on the book when graded. If so it wouldn't be at a 9.8. When I hold the case to the light it does appear to be on the casing itself just not on the outside. I believe these smudges weren't from the signature because it shows no smearing and it looks perfect. Thanks!

    That’s a personal preference choice. It’s not “trimmed” as in restoration, but a miscut. Unfortunately, CGC does not grade on centering/alignment/miscut unless it’s especially terrible to affect readability or art.

    Since you noticed it on this book you’ll probably never be happy with it. There are many 9.8 graded examples of ASM 300, be picky, there will be more.

     

    I agree. Actually I didn't notice till late. But I didn't pull the trigger on it so I'll just pass.
