What would be the grade drop off because of this. Welcome to the boards! Sorry to see this... we've all been there at some point. I'd guess somewhere in the VG range, but it's better to post full front/back scans of the book for more accurate guesses.

Mercury Man Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Ahhh the dreaded tape pull. I always opt for something not so sticky, but still holds its place. Post It Flags are a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnasher Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 A 4.0 for sure, if it goes higher it'll only be by 0.5 imo, sorry. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim M Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I remember my first and only tape pull when I first started collecting. ASM 138. The important thing is to learn from it. I keep mine as a reminder ? I'd say 4.0 as well, but a nice book! The Lions Den and KobaltDog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unstoppablejayd Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 When I was in college in the 90's I worked at a comic store and the owner taught me whenever you open a book- take the tape off and put it on the side of the book to always avoid tape pulls... I still do it that way to this day, sorry about the book but it doesn't look like it will drop it to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
