KidZip Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Hi there, New to the boards. Looking to purchase this TOS 39 from my local comic shop. The cover is detached, the tape is the only thing holding the cover together. Book is complete otherwise. Has it listed as a 1.8, I agree with the condition but just worried about CGC grading. Will this still get me a blue label? Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 From what I have read on this site CGC's stance on Scotch Tape is that it cannot be used to "improve" the condition of a book and a book with tape will be graded as if the tape was not present. Since tape repair is allowed in a GD- 1.8 it should not affect the grade and the book should receive a universal blue label. https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/3327/CGC-Modifies-Stance-on-Grading-Submissions-with-Tape/ Tony S, KidZip and James J Johnson 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC33 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 That tape looks ready to just fall off practically! Boy would that book improve if it comes right off and you get a nice press! How much are they asking out of curiosity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
