Highest grade that a book with a subscription crease can get?

This is more of a side comment - I know that books that have a subscription crease are less desired than ones that do, but to be honest I am actually okay if there is a subscription crease in the book if it is for my PC.

No such rule, depends on the rest of the book.

So based on what you're saying, a book with a subscription crease can get a 9.0 if no other defects?

[Michelangelo]

I've never seen one higher than a VG

 

So let's go with that for now, pending further evidence.

While classic hearsay, I've seen barely color breaking CGC slabs with minimal other defects get up to 6.5.

[Chadwick]

I've heard it would max out at 5.0

No, a book would never get a 9.0 with a subscription crease. You'll be very hard-pressed to find a CGC slab higher than a 5.0/5.5 if the book has a color-breaking subscription crease.

Easily a 6.0 if the rest of the book is pretty solid I have seen many 6.5 and a few 7.0 with them.

^yeah, agreed.

 

I've seen several subcrease books get 6.5 with two consistent traits - rest of book is 9.0 or up, and the color breaks very unobtrusively in just a few spots along the fold, not the whole line. If the color break is on back and not front, I've heard it could go higher, but don't recall actually seeing one like that over 6.5.
