Without looking at the census, guess the grade CGC gave this one: I would say 7.0-7.5 but is there a very very light stain in the upper right-hand corner that is getting penalized greatly? I have had books with that little corner spine chip come back 7.5. It’s a little hard to tell on my cell. I am going to go with a very pretty 6.5?

Grader notes only say "tanning cover, tanning pages" (which is obvious just looking at the cover). There appears to be a dirty smudge line across the top right. Tiny tear and the two chips on the top edge. I had expected at least a 7.0. I was not given it. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorick Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Here's another that caught me by surprise. I'll give you the raw scan first. I think there's a "golden age red-heads" thread somewhere on these forums. Maybe I should post it there too. szucchini and torontodesignguy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see in the scan the top staple popped, but along the way to CGC the bottom staple must have popped too. The grader notes indicate that both staples detached from the cover.

If I were a cynical person (which I am...), I might see this as a ploy by cgc to drive people into buying graders notes on low grade books that present nicely, before I bid on them/buy them etc... I think every cover detached I have is no higher than a 2.0... might be time for a resubmit comicjack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was put in the graders notes. I suppose it could also be a ploy by cgc to get people to pay for reslabbing existing books. Im kinda waiting for the day when they say minor color touched books will be in universal holders and the Ct affects grade like a stain... thereby getting everyone to pay for regrading all those books too. Ok that's all the conspiracy theories/derailments from me... for today at least. Of course, when they started, they used to note a number of defects -- rusty staples, cover tanning -- that they later dropped from the label notes. Maybe dropping mention of detached covers and centerfolds is another step along those lines. GA books with (supposedly) very minor ct and glue are already in universal holders. It would be interesting if they dropped those notations as well. That would be a big step because noting the minor resto on the label was part of the comprise at the beginning that kept those books from ending up as PLODs. Be nice if they announced these changes with some discussion. So far as I know, they haven't done so wrt dropping mention of detached covers and cfs, unless I missed it. toto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top of the census. I don't think I've seen a copy of this issue that didn't suffer to some extent from tanning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I hope someone has a better copy, because the color in this one is seriously lacking. I prefer my other copy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
