Hi, I bought this at the Paradisecon, it is missing a piece which I have been able to replace (no pic yet) the page quality is a bit lighter on the new piece.

My question would also be, if I sent it to CGC would it just get a qualified as it is missing (but has) a piece? Hopefully that makes sense

thanks in advance

Randy

I doubt it would get a Q label.

 

Qualified is for books that are otherwise high grade that have one atypical flaw.

 

This book is a low grade book with an accumulation of flaws. The missing piece would just be considered into the grade.

2.0

Maybe a 2.5..........usual problems around the edges, but the main body looks pretty sweet in such a big scan................. (thumbs u

2.0 as well

Too low a grade overall to warrant even the consideration of a "qualified" label. However, as you point out, the missing piece is sufficiently large to describe the book as "incomplete". Consequently, as to Grade . . . 1.5

Hi, yikes, I guess I was happier before I asked

Divad....my taped spine copy got a CGC 1.5...I'd say 1.8 - 2.0 for this one. likely a 2.0

Looks like someone was hungry, Weird piece to be missing, no? 2.0

Colin,

Don't get me wrong . . . I pretty much am in line with everyone else here, except for the effect of the missing piece on the grade

oop....

 

didn't see that...I figured it was a piece from the edge or something....definately less than a 2.0.....ack...

 

I hate to say your right...

 

damn...

That's what I always thought as well....Qualified = higher graded books.

 

But then I saw this

I got this from a board member, does that make any difference (besides ease of resale in the future)?

I'm surprised that no respondent stated this would be a "restored" grade if you replaced the missing piece...indeed it would be restored and not qualified...it would be rendered qualified if the hole was left as is...

replaced...2.5 restored

not replaced...1.5-2.0 qualified (as it affects story as opposed to, say, an ad coupon cut out...)

Still a very nice overall copy on general appearance/appeal!

Now that's Just. Plain. Wrong. IMHO

According to Steve, replaced staples always get the qualified (or restored, if appropriate) label:

 

Staples replaced and/or staples cleaned, unless restoration has been performed, has always received a green label from CGC when detected.

Yes, I am aware of that . . . but it doesn't change my opinion
