Please post what you think. Thanks!

7.0

6.5

tough to grade as the cover scribble mark is large and right on Lulu's face, making it hard to ignore. otherwise I'd agree with 6.5

[AJD]

Not only the scribble, but the entire top outer corner of the book is missing - front to back (bigger at the back). I think the grades here are too high. If I was selling this book, I'd call it a 5.0 with outstanding eye appeal.

 

I'm standing ready to be wrong on that.

I was thinking along these lines, too.

 

There are rumors of a "Sparkle City Grade Bump"...

 

Here's the eBay auction.

Lucky I got in early with the ton of bricks... did not see that coming.

The missing corner is what keeps an otherwise solid book out of the high grades structurally, so the 5.0 grades seemed unduly harsh , unless one is discounting for the red mark - something CGC seems reluctant to do.

Right, but as Andrew/AJD noted, most of the corner of the book appears to be missing/chewed, not just corner chips to the cover...?

 

Really surprised by that grade. I thought CGC was especially tough on damage like this that went through interior pages.

 

If I paid top dollar for a 7.5 and received a book with that flaw, I'd be shocked, and not terribly happy.

I'm fine with the grade on that book - it's got a lot of positives going for it . . .
