DR.X Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 This book is a structural 8.0 but someone wrote a name in marker on the top first page, and it bleeds out to the 4th page. I'm thinking a full point ? Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I wouldn't grade it more than a 6.0, but I've no idea how CGC handles this sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Thurgood Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 What's the logic to take a point off for something that will never be seen after it is slabbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same logic that says cutting a little coupon or stamp kills the grade, even though no one will ever see the affected pages.

grendelbo Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I would say 7.5-8.0. I purchased a Grendel 1 CGC 9.2 this past year. It was a blue label (jail-broken) with a Grendel sketch and Matt Wagner's signature on the first page. It's in marker so it bleeds through to page 2. Structurally, I'd call the book a 9.2-9.4. So seemingly not much, if anything, was deducted for the interior writing. But that's just one example I can offer up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
