CGC graders notes question?

[SupergirlDC1959]

One of the notes states the following:

 

''Whole Book Multiple Finger Bends Breaks Color''

 

What does that even mean?

I'm going to to go with "on the entire book, there are multiple finger bends that have broken the cover's ink."

And how bad is that will it get worse over time? Or is this a more common thing?

Any help would be appreciated!!

Nothing is going to get worse. The book doesn't have pneumonia. It has dents in it from being read and handled roughly.

 

It is very common for old books.

Since the book is in a slab now, the damage will not get worse. As long as you don't shake the comic it will be fine.

Thanks that is fine with me if that is all it is!!

I really think you need to ask CGC this question. The cryptic nature of the notes sometimes makes them difficult to translate. I know of a situation where the wording of the notes, upon inquiry, were changed. In this situation the seller was having trouble selling a high profile book because the notes made the flaw sound a lot worse than it was. Terms like 'whole book' may not really mean the whole book.
