Hey Guys

I am about to send a book for grading which is in a near mint condition overall. However, I have noticed a small scratch on the front cover. 

How much do you think it will impact the grade ?

thank you all for your help !

Hard to tell from pic...is that a true scratch or could it possibly be a printing/manufacturing defect?

If its a scratch, an approximate 1-2 inch defect would immediately take this book down to between a 7.5- 8.0 imo

A printing defect would be much less impactful

Damn, I didn’t expect that it would impact so much the grade 😫

I hope this is a printing defect. Is there a way for me to know which one is it ?

thanks !

7.5-8.0 seems extremely low to me.

8.5-9.4 would be a reasonable range, to me, under the assumption that the rest of the book is relatively flawless.

I don’t know what the scratch would do but the comic looks very good outside of it so I’m gonna say 9.2-9.4

What do I know?...you get what you pay for...haha

I've had books with a 2 inch creases/defect similar to this come back at 8.0

Can you get a closer pic of the area?

It depends on the severity, and the rest of the book.

My other picturees are not clearer.

but to be honest, the scratch you can see on the picture appears excatly like that on the book. It’s really small and difficult to notice if you don’t check it closely.

That's great...I'll take a Mulligan and agree with the 9.0 range...nothing to see here...carry on...

On the bright side...my initial lowball grade has you feeling better as the day progresses...

If you have a magnifying glass, you could be able to tell if a scratch. The cover would appear like something cut into that spot. You might be able to feel a slight indentation even, as it is large. You could also check other copies. If it is a manufacturing issue, it will be seen on other people's books in all liklihood. 

If scratch, 9.0-9.2. if not, it appears to be in 9.4-9.6 range but more close ups on corners and spine would help confirm if 9.8 is possible.

9.2 based on current pictures...
