SCS.

[ckp1680]

Penciled intials okay, but the grease markers I can do without!

[dekeuk]

SCS.

 

sort of an invalid answer because the "defect" was caused after the slabbing, but I could see how that is annoying

 

 

[paperheart]

I hate spine stress(BIG PET PEEVE),writing of any kind including sig. series(I know I'll catch hell with those guys) and bindery tears

[dekeuk]

writing of any kind including sig. series:pullhair:

 

 

it should be illegal to desecrate a pre-1975 CGC 9.8 book with a signature

[Agent 007]

I hate Date Stamps and where I can see the staples on the front cover (Avengers 4) seems to have a lot of those.

[slym2none]

Sun/dust shadows, "soiling," and writing of most kinds really annoy me on HG books.

[unmovedmover]

writing of any kind including sig. series

 

word. Kills me when I see a book I'd love to own for sale that has a signature on it

[MagnetoWasRight]

I hate writing on the cover as well...crooked covers annoy me as well...

[Cimm]

other VERY MINOR defect not listed here allowable in a 9.8

 

color fading or low color strike... the absolute worst!

[Mr 9.8]

A cgc book that suffered noticable CGC ''SHIFT''

[Mr 9.8]

Funny I thought more people would talk about there pet peeves.

[comicalgems]

I hate Date Stamps and where I can see the staples on the front cover (Avengers 4) seems to have a lot of those.

 

I used to not really mind staples on the front until someone pointed out to me that it was an exception and not the rule.

[Speedy-D]

I think it's annoying when they say "PGX" instead of "CGC" on them.

[Mr 9.8]

I think it's annoying when they say "PGX" instead of "CGC" on them.

Would that really [font:Arial Black] QUALIFY [/font] as a defect?

[TeddieMercede]

Old label books with SCS, Signature Series on any high grade book that was printed before the early 70s, tiny corner creases and lastly rusted staples (i didnt even know this was allowable on books in the 9.4 range till I received a book that had this defect)
