Jody P Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Hi, hoping to get y'alls thoughts on this. I'm about to buy this book and thought it may be a good candidate for a crack, press and bump. Notice the very clear crease on the bottom left hand corner of the book, it's kind of diagonal towards the corner. Here's the thing tho, I bought the graders notes and it says; "light spine stress lines breaks color very small, multiple finger crease right center of front cover breaks color" Nothing about the crease. It also has what appears to be a very small tear on the very bottom right hand corner. So my question to you all is, even with that crease pressed out, is this even a 9.6 candidate? Not sure, please help! Thank you! Edited January 31, 2021 by Jody P Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William-James88 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Sure,its possible that you could get 9,6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayowolf Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Will press remove color breaking? If not then may stay at 9.4, if yes more likely to go to 9.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypost Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 The crease could have happened after it was slabbed. What does the back cover look like? It would be nice to see closeups of the color breaks. Based on experience, two or three defects that break color will keep it out of 9.6 range.

Albert Thurgood Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Excuse my ignorance, but how could it have been creased after being slabbed? Surely the reason for slabbing is to prevent any future damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody P Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 hey all, this is the only photo i have but will send more once i receive it. personally i cannot see any color breaks at all from the photo but obviously that doesn't mean they're not there. my main concern is what appears as a tiny tear on the bottom right corner and if that would preclude it from getting a 9.6.
