erikdj79 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I recently bought a great stack of old romance comics and there are a few that have Matt Baker covers and are fairly valuable, but some of them have some bad staining issues, a lot of which looks more like something oily/greasy rather than just water. What grade range can I expect for a book with a stain such as the example pictured (the example only has the one stain on the back)? I'm trying to decide if it's worth grading or just selling them as-is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csaag Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 It's one thing to ask how CGC generally handles staining (typical answer - they hammer significant staining), but if you want to know how it can affect your particular book you should read the sticky in the 'Buddy, Can You Spare a Grade' forum and make a post with some good pics/scans If you have multiple books in similar shape to that one ,I'd figure just putting one up in the Spare A Grade forum would give you a decent estimate of what they'd all be around. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
