A forum transaction gone good/bad/good.

I am so sad reading this thread. So that itsy-bitsy corner missing now makes the book worthless.

 

Probably still a 9.4.

 

Fantastic Four your sigline is impressive.

For whatever reason (probably due to the cutting/trimming process), I've seen many, many BA books with tiny tears (sometimes chips) in the bottom right corner of the cover and/or pages. In many cases, it actually appears that there is "extra" paper in that corner, but there's a tear that's maybe 90% the way through the little triangular piece and it's only hanging on by a few fibers. Who knows if that's what's going on here, but if so, that corner could easily have been wedged into the corner of the inner well in transit, and as the book shifted back "into place" (centered within the well), the piece tore off.

Thin, busty Amazonian brunettes rock my world...every day I'm with one is like a day with endless sunshine.

+1 although I had not noticed that it was usually the bottom right

Perhaps the owner should crack it out, list it for sale as a 9.4, disclose that CGC graded it as a 9.8, and voice his disagreement with their grade. I've learned recently that that is the right thing to do.

You are a quick study.

It's a shame you're such a turd.

 

 

I don't know, man,..........I don't know.

No one ever calls me a turd....

 

TURD

 

thank you?

I believe that drbanner is most likely correct, in that the book shifted inside the inner well and lodged the corner in the well corner and then when it shifted in the opposite direction, the corner piece ripped off.

 

That makes sense.

 

Now I can sleep at night. (hmmm...that's funny, I never could before)

This is 100% responsability of CGC:

Looks like the bottom corner was sealed within the inner sleeve when the book was slabbed, it was then ripped during the shipping

[osborn_fr]

Oh well, i should have read before posting...

I am so sad reading this thread. So that itsy-bitsy corner missing now makes the book worthless. Maybe it should be donated to Nik if is so undesirable.

 

Anyway, that was really stand up of the seller to refund the book completely.

 

I don't think it makes the book worthless, but it might not be worth it to ship it back to Canada now.

Seen it (or something similar) too many times, unfortunately.
