Spyder! Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Ok, so this one is tough for me to grade. The book has a small piece out of top right of cover, but the book is pretty solid otherwise, except for the obvious...2 binder holes punched through book. I know CGC usually gives a qualified grade for binder holes, grading the book as if the holes weren’t there, but I’ve also heard that you can request the blue label and they will dock the grade for the holes. So, what would this one be as a blue label, and as a green? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artboy99 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I think it is a 2.5-3.0. I arrive at that grade by comparing it to a book I own that has similar defects, my Planet Comics 22. My 22 was a CGC 5.0 Toledo pedigree that was cracked out. My 22 has a missing corner, and a few small tears similar to yours. Yours has a color breaking crease at bottom right. I think that puts your book at 4.5 without considering the hole punches. Adding them in brings it to 2.5-3.0 KobaltDog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I did ask for a universal grade. Came back 3.0 just like you said Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
