lostboys Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 This is a graded 9.6 TWD #5 with 1 color breaking spine line. What im trying to figure out is...is this color rub on the bottom of the cover and would that count against the grade? Someone on the modern board was cool enough to post a pic of their copy and it was almost pure white. I'm guessing if this was a stain, there's no way it could be a 9.6. Thanks.

Albert Thurgood Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 To follow up, is it the implication that color rub is not deprecated? In that case, how to distinguish between that and soiling/staining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Honestly, it's too hard to tell (for me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERS Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 It looks like dirt and could easily be cleaned off by a simple dry cleaning but 9.6 is already the highest possible grade with a color break of any kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
