I never do this, but I need help - FF#48

Oh yeah, if I were you, I'd be soooooooooooooo proud.

 

I just blew coffee thru my nose I laughed so hard

That crease is just too distracting for me to go higher than 4.0 - though if someone wanted to call it a 4.5, I wouldn't start a hanging party.

 

As for other VG books having more numerous defects - true enough, but if I saw a book that already looked like a VG without the crease, but had one like that in addition, I'd call it a 3.0 tops.

If a 2" back cover crease can knock an otherwise 9.6 down to an 8.5, then a book length front cover crease can certainly slam an otherwise 7.0 (or better) all the way down to 4.0. It's not the number of defects, but the nature of the flaws that hammer a book.

Narrow life experience = narrow world view = judgmental.

 

Hey, if NOT having left my wife and kid for a MARRIED woman I met online is a "narrow life experience", then count me in!!

 

 

You're just a closed-minded, witch-burning, judgemental neandrethal!

5.0 tops, but I'd go 4.5 as the sub crease is full color breaking.

[divad]

It's a rather pronounced color-breaking full-length sub-crease to the front cover; otherwise, it's a nice looking copy. It's not a question of dropping 2 grades, it's a question of, "How high can I grade a book that has this defect?"

 

Answer: 4.5 maybe, just maybe a 5.0.

 

I think the rationale should be, "Should it be allowed in a Fine range?"

 

Answer: No.

I agree.

Narrow life experience = narrow world view = judgmental.

 

 

This may be true on the whole, but I don't think it is relevant here in the least bit. Perhaps, "Ignorance is bliss" works for you . . .

it's either that or...well...actually, it kind of has to be that, doesn't it?

[Calamerica]

Never saw a full-length cover crease come back higher than a F 6.0 no matter how nice the rest of the CGC comic was.

 

VG/F 5.0 tops.

[the blob]

4.5-5.0, leaning toward 4.5

 

Were it a cover-length diagonal crease would there be a debate?
