Thanks Sean! I have discovered that fact recently. One thing I've found when I looked at these after I took note of the defects is that CGC doesn't really detract grade points for non-colour breaking defects. This book has a very slight "wave" effect near the spine which is what I graded down for in addition to a single colour breaking crease, but it looks like I'm just too tough for my own good

 

If that's your mindset when you send in books to get graded, you're going to get hammered on your next submission - sure, non-color breaking defects aren't treated as harsly as color-breaking defects (nor should they be), but saying that CGC basically overlooks these is flat-out wrong.

 

The slight "wave" effect that you noticed is considered a production defect on this book - that's most likely why it came back a 9.8 even with one other tiny defect.

 

Congrats on the book :thumbsup:

Well, I'm glad I started this thread. I am now the proud owner of the highest graded SS for this book I'm so happy with the grade.

Nice book!

Actually, I wrote that wrong. I meant to say something along the lines of they don't detract as much as I thought they did for NCB defects.

 

Production defect? How so? It genuinely seems to look like someone bent the spine ever so slightly - or used a bent board to store it. What kind of production defect would this be?

 

And thank you, I love it

Totally agree!
