Interior page corner flaking

[steelcity]

 

Small, consistent corner flaking right at the tip. Some pages with the fragment missing; others with just a hair of paper fibre holding the flake on. Same shaped piece through ten or more pages. Gives the corner a ragged appearance viewed with the book closed. Not pretty but most likely there from new.

 

Anyone any experience of how this is regarded on CGC grading?

 

Thanks.

production related and I don't think will get hit hard unless the chips/fragments/corners missing are large...how large is bad? I don't know but I have had books with 1/8" to 1/4" diameter size missing on multiple pages graded in 9.4/9.6 range with other flaws like spine ticks.

The flakes missing/hanging on are vitually triangular with the non-hypotenuse sides around 1/16" long. Technically minor but visually the cumulative effect of these makes the book's corner look rough.

Scans or photos would be helpful.

I know it is.

I can't get my scanner to really show up the problem enough to see it. we are talking 1/16" corner tips off interior pages or corners just hanging on. Each page problem looks very minor individually, it's when the book is closed and the edge on view looks tatty. Again, my scanner can't show this edge view.

 

Anyway, thanks all for commenting and I understand better now that as the flaw is a production feature CGC probably would treat it as minor.

I'm giving him some time to confess before I hit the search button.
