Corner wear into a 9.6? 0

[Urion]

Is this corner wear enough to knock an otherwise 9.8 to a lower grade? Could it possibly still be a 9.8 if I get the right graders or is this never going to be a 9.8? Has anyone seen corners like this in a graded 9.8?

You can have a little corner wear on the spine & still get a 9.8....with that said, this book would not get a 9.8

The bottom edge has too much damage & it looks to have spine wear all the way up to that staple as well

Sorry, but I can't see the 9.8 either...

I dont recall ever seeing even a nm with that much wear. I wouldn't be happy if I purchased one.

Its fine. The seller never claimed it was a 9.8 or anything. They were just selling 5 books and I thought they looked like at least some would be 9.8s. It looks like two of them will be, with pressing, so hopefully not a total loss. They are for my personal collection and there aren't a lot of issues in the series that have 9.8s so I am having to look for them in raw form. I expect to end up with a lot of dead ends. Just part of the process. If I end up with some that grade lower I'll just sell them and keep going. I probably wont send this one in though.

I would bet $$$$$ that this won't get a 9.8 from CGC, but, I've been wrong before...

This won't even get 9.6

It looks like that bottom left corner and spine wear is problematic
