Please grade this 100pager

this book as you can see is a tight clean 100pg giant but it has a 1 tiny hole where the staple pushed through under the tarzans mate picture how would CGC handle this please take a look

 

 

here is a back cover scan just a tiny ding bottom corner and that yellowish spot is a printing defect

[Aces]

8.0

8.5/9.0

I'm betting that's a warehouse copy.

I disagree with everyone so far - and I think Greggy would back me up on this ( ) but those staple holes are very common in all square-bound books, not only 100-pagers. On such a sweet book, they are not going to bring it down as much as you guys think . . .

 

You're still looking at a 9.4 here - 9.2 at the least

[topofthetotem]

9.2 9.4

[greggy]

9.0 at best due to the corner bump, as it appears to go through the whole book. Although I have seen some books graded high with staple holes, they aren't that common. I checked one box of CGC 100 pagers and only noticed it in one book.

9.0 maybe 9.2 is right on target it is a nice book

[topofthetotem]

After getting burned getting my "sweet" 100 pagers graded, I agree with greggy--I think this would grade out as VF/NM 9.0
