I'd be all over this book but...

for the obvious defect that ruins it for me. I can't believe the label doesn't note it; I've seen plenty of books with a label noting that defect and I couldn't even make it out. CGC needs to be more consistent.

Rust migration from staples and notable foxing = <8.0

 

This is the kind of book that if it had been sold raw as an 8.0, people would be commenting that the seller didn't know how to grade.

yeah, that staple and migration is pretty bad. and is that mildew in the URC?

i would never have guessed an 8.0. but what the hell do i know.

Yikes...I thought Staple rust of that magnitude brought a book down to a 6.5 at least...

Actually, I stopped looking at the book after I saw the staple and didn't notice the foxing. However, I know that CGC doesn't ding books much (or at all, it sometimes seems) for foxing, which is pretty common for D copies.

 

Shame, this is a case where if I owned the book I'd clean the staple and spare the book from further damage (PLOD be damned).
