Worm hole question.

[MCMiles]

Does anyone have any idea what a GA book, that would otherwise be 8.0 ow, with a 3/16" diameter worm hole through the entire book might grade at from CGC?

 

Thanks.

No idea, but I do have a fairly nice GA Superman that has insect holes from front to back and it graded at 2.5.

[MCMiles]

Thanks for the reply. How many does it have? ...and what do you think the grade would have been without the holes?

Its hard to say because the grader will keep slipping through the event horizon into another dimension.

 

 

Nice bones avatar, btw!

I doubt it would grade higher than a 2.5 at best. I'd say 2.0 sounds about right without actually seeing the book.

I think it would greatly depend on whether the defect was at the edge or center of the book.

 

I could see as high as 3.5 on a nice looking book with the hole at the edge of the front cover that misses interior artwork completely.

I dunno . . . is the worm still present?

 

Seriously, I had some very sweet OO Herbie's with an occasional worm-hole - didn't bother me personally, but I never bothered to slab them consequently.

Mike, I had an old label Action 21 years back that was graded Blue 3.5, and it had a small bug chew hole through 3/4 of the margin's pages..I still think it would have been a 3.5 w/out the hole though..in your case, an otherwise 8.0 may get a GLOD? Otherwise, I'm thinking 5.0/5.5 with notes...
