Staple impressions and grade

[JDH-84]

I appreciate all the responses and discussion. I do not remember those marks being there before I submitted it and I check my books VERY thoroughly before subbing...still I could have missed it. I just know that it stood out to me immediately after cracking it. I personally feel like it would not count against the grade, and I just wanted some more feedback.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:. I'm glad someone suggested to check a raw book of the same issue; I never thought of that. I looked at the regular cover to #3 and it does have slight staple impressions at the bottom. They are not nearly as deep but they are there. It seems like this could be somewhat normal for this issue....

I'm just trying to rule out all possible scenarios before accepting the worst case one. Nothing personal and like Ditch said, thank you for the information, it is very telling.

Can you take a pic? And post both pics together for comparisons

 

Thanks

Its great to see the forum community looking at things with a critical eye towards pre-existing damage first, well done. That way if there are validated issues they can provide valuable info to both CGC and the community. Just curious if this was a one book submission or a batch submission?

Raw copy regular cover. Faint impressions, not nearly as bad as the cracked out variant, but still there

Looks lighter, but staple impressions on a modern book are all too common, specially if you place the book in a long box for a long period of time.

both side by side

True, guess I just haven't paid much attention to it before. All this new case chatter has made me paranoid I guess haha. I'm gonna do some SS books tomorrow at Heroes Con

More common than people realize

It can also happen or worsen if the packing for submission is packed tight.

Man that sucks.

I thought you said you were in no way affiliated with CGC.

 

How would you know if people's submissions were being affected due to there packing?

What's your eBay ID?

I'm curious. Will the increased pressure worsen the condition over time? Or is the damage already done prior to encapsulation and it won't get worse being in the new holder?

Something tells me you're here for the stir....from the other place...where people not named are from.

[Comfortably Numb]

Speaking from experience where a new employee packed a batch way too tight with no cardboard separators and many came back lower than expected due to staple issues. Cracked a couple out and they all looked like that.

[Comfortably Numb]

and they were old cases.

[A-DONIS]

lol Come on....what's your e-bay seller name since you're so experienced.

 

Which company do you sub your books now? And what facebook group are you from again?
