How does a crease effect the grade?

[bruce21wayne21]

Yes def grade it

So not worth getting it graded huh? Thanks for the info everyone

 

That issue does well in any grade....it's still a nice book. I'd get it graded...

At Fine or better, the book is almost always worth grading.

I'm sorry but I'm new, but what's the difference between blue and green labels? i saw a post on green labels but it didn't exactly explain the differences.

 

I'm pretty new to green labels, but it seems a comics with a page missing or some severe flaw that would otherwise keep the book from scoring high is given a qualified label where they grade it as high as they normally would have, but with an ugly green label :-)

 

Books with unwitnessed signatures also receive green labels.

 

I had a TMNT 3 signed (unwitnessed) by E&L (inside) come back blue 9.4.

We also have the green label, which represents the CGC Qualified Grade. The information to the left and right of the registration number remains the same as the universal grade and/or Signature Series. This category is used when further information is needed to provide an accurate description of the book. For example, it often serves to denote books that have some defect worthy of note or those that were signed without a CGC representative present. Because of factors like these, the word “apparent” is added to the numerical grade.

 

 

I don't think this crease falls into the "This category is used when further information is needed to provide an accurate description of the book" category. Perhaps if it were inner pages that were creased, but this is right in plain sight.

 

Think of it most usually as a book that looks really high grade but has one major hidden defect that brings down the Blue grade to an inexplicable level if you are just looking at the book from outside the slab.

 

For example the book looks 9.6 but has a page missing. Such a book can be difficult to grade. That book might look very strange as a 2.0 Blue but make more sense as a Green 9.6.

 

But if the book is missing a page and looks like a 2.5, that missing page is just a defect at the lower end of the grading scale and the book will simply grade as a perhaps 0.5 Blue.

 

The CGC verified signature is a more interesting application of the Green Label.

 

Most collectors shy away from the Green Label as a detached centrefold or missing coupon will make them search for a different copy --- but a high grade book with a signature that might be verified by provenance and predates the CGC can be a plus -- though in a Green Label. An established Jack Kirby signature verified by an original owner might be a very good example of such.

Reading comprehension. It does a body good.
