c_mkv Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) So I'm looking at picking up a book graded at a 9.2 but grader notes indicate a lite crease on the spine and fingerprints on the centre back cover. Am still kind of new'ish to collecting and this is my first experience with fingerprints. Is this something that can be cleaned if I were to re-sub? How much of a negative are they considered in collecting. I can't see the fingerprints but here's the only pic of the back cover I have. Thanks in advance for any/all tips.

Mr. Zipper Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Looks like some light black prints in the yellow coupon. If it was in the white area it could probably be dry cleaned... not so sure about in the yellow area. Tony S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony S Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I too see light black prints in the yellow area. Any attempt at dry cleaning them off will remove some of the yellow ink. Any use of solvents risks both removing some ink and a restored grade if CGC detects the solvent cleaning. 9.2 is probably the highest the book can grade.
