How much to deduct for a filled in form?

[mikecote-migration]

I have a book that is VF+ except in the middle someone filled in a coupon form for a toy.

They didnt cut the coupon or tear the page so the book is intact. How much does this lower the grade in your opinion?!?!

How nice is the hand writing?

 

That's a tough one. CGC seems to grade these books with the standard label and the note the writing on the label. I personaly wouldn't a book with this problem, but I'm sure someone will (assuming it's a key).

Lowered to fn- if a little kid scrawled his name in blue ink on the coupon while an ice cream cone melted in his hand.

When selling Silver Age Marvel I price them 2 grades lower, if its nice DC I simply let the buyer know and discount it slightly.On a forum like this you may find more resistance to these types of books then you will at a convention.Some people won't touch these books and others don't seem to mind as long as the price is right.If you are not in a rush,you'll find a buyer at the right price. The above applies only if the book is Silver Age or older. If it is newer I think you would have to heavily discount unless it is a real key.

It is a tricky one, if the coupon was cut the book drops to FAIR by Overstreet standards. Writting is a bit different though. My feeling is that CGC would give it a Qualified grade.

If graded by Overstreet standards though the book should grade a VG+ if the writing is extensive.
