Does anyone who pics of staple tears and what is the highest grade they can get?

[uchiha101]

Hey guys, I'm not exactly sure what a staple tear is I have imagined what I think it is and I was wondering if anyone has pics of staple tears they could show me? and what is the highest grade they can receive?

 

I have some pics of a comic that I have and what I believe are staple tears

That looks like a staple pop (i.e., cover detached at that staple).

Staple tears are usually horizontal from staple but cover still attached.

ok so am I correct in saying that the highest the can grade is a 6.5/7.0?

What you are showing looks to be a,full staple pop - not a staple tear.

 

Grading is a combination of all elements - not just one. You would need to post full scans to get even a barebones estimate.

I posted my deadpool comic that I need a grade on and it has the same thing happening

That depends on the grades of the books with staple tears that you want to submit.

Size, length, depth of the defect as well as all surrounding defects will all affect the final grade.

 

What are you, new?

no but I have no idea by the sizes of small, minor and moderate in their heads

Dude - if you are going to try and make a living at this - you need to know how to grade. Buy and study the Overstreet grading guide. Also - go and search out eta nick's YouTube videos.

 

 

Note that this alone will not make you a good grader - experience will. Study study study.

 

Heck - take a day and look over heritage auctions - they have a lot of decent images of graded books that you can study.

Whose heads?

 

Oh, and capitals and commas.

Not only is the staple detached but with all that paper loss I would consider it a hole. No way the book gets a 7.0, should be below a 6.0. On a good day it gets a 5.5 .

ok I'm not the best with grammar but I meant the grading companies

That's why you

 

a) need good pictures of the entire book

b) can't have a grade cut-off for a defect - the severity of the defect is what determines the grade

Asking what the grade limit on the staple tear is makes a question you can't answer.

 

How long is the tear?

 

How deep is the tear, meaning how many pages does it go through (cover or interior as well)?

 

How many staples have the tear? All staples? Two? One? Some books have 3 staples some have only one.

 

Is the tear at both posts of the staple or at just one end of the staple?

 

Get the picture?

 

Grading is not about looking at the defect as a 2 dimensional thing and factoring it into the book, it's about taking the book as a whole and factoring all the defects into the grade of the book inside and out.

 

Yes, learning to grade can be confusing.

This is a staple tear.
