How does Loose Centerfold affect grade on GA books?

[bounty_coder]

Curious to know how much a loose centerfold affects various otherwise specific grades (if they didn't have loose centerfold).

 

Or does it not impact and is simply noted on the CGC Slab?

 

For example a VF 8.0 with secure Centerfold, or the same book except with an un-secure Centerfold...how much of a hit does it take?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

My "guess" is 6.0

…or 6.5--won't have a 7 on the front.

[bounty_coder]

Wow, that is a larger impact than I would have expected. I'm surprised it is such a big hit.

 

This is good to know though, thank you for the insight.

yeah, i don't agree with their view on grading that defect. so much so that i'll actively look for high-grade books in mid-grade holders with that note. feel like i'm getting extra bang for my buck.

I concur with your view on that

I'm with Straw man in this. Also I think the detached cover automatic 3.0 syndrome is also too stringent. How often have we seen otherwise beautiful books get a 3.0 for a detached cover?? I dunno, just venting

I love 6.5 with detached CF.

If you were more careful with your books, the cfs wouldn't get detached.

Gotta stop reading them in the bathroom.

now this is a highly graded loose c.f. book; no telling what they think it would be if secure. and this is a TOUGH book--when I put that run together, it was the last book needed, and it was a loooong slog to fill that last hole.

I wonder how long it will be before it's allowed in 9.0?

[comicjack]

Depends who you are

I think it depends on how many staples the book has.

 

I don't know that I'd ever expect to see a single stapled book with loose centerfold grade a 9.0+ but one loose staple on a two or three stapled book is common in the lower NM range.
