Considering a resub... PGM : HOS 92

[Hibou]

This book was originally graded in 2008...

 

So this was a lesson for me.

 

Back when I first brought this up, I thought I'd call to get the grading notes. I never did that because I figured the very small spine split was the reason for the grade so I left it at that.

 

If I had went for the notes back then, I'm guessing I would have received something like this:

 

"Center Spine Multiple Stress Lines Breaks Color

Right Bottom Front Cover Small Multiple Wear Breaks Color

Left Top Back Cover Small Lite Stain

Right Bottom Back Cover Medium Lite Stain"

 

And after thinking about it... I would've still decided to resub the book as is (no pressing) noticing that the notes did not mention anything about the minor split and I couldn't see any stains.

 

So...

 

Lesson learned.

 

Sometimes the grade is the grade.

 

(Unless I reverse spine roll the book of course!)

 

 

...

 

The notes I quoted above are actually for this now re-graded book.

Yep, CGC is waaaaaay too harsh on stains. -2.0+ minimum...
