Sticker on the Cover 0

[pjray55]

if a book has a price sticker over the original printed price how would that impact grade?  As it stands the book is in a 3.5 - 4.0 range with the sticker.  Would a book be knocked significant for the sticker at that level?

Is it possible to remove the sticker without damaging the book?

it is not a book i presently own but one i am considering  purchasing.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Do you have a picture to share with us?

I don’t think a sticker would further reduce a 3.5 - 4.0 unless it was a large sticker. I suspect you are better off leaving the sticker on. If removed, there would probably by an oily adhesive stain that looks worse than the sticker.

thank you, would it  automatically get a green label if left on?

I don’t think so. Maybe a green label if it was otherwise very high grade, but not in this grade.

I think you made the right decision to pass. With or without the sticker, it's not an attractive copy. Also, not worth the expense and effort of dealing with the sticker.
