Zeb Smoke Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Need advice. The center page has fallen out of its staples. Is it worth having slabbed and graded or just kept in raw (bag and board)? What kind of grade can I expect from a book with a loose page? Many thanks! Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodean Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) The rest of the is book nice but will need a clean and press for any grading. That said with just the center fold detached the book isn't going to get more than a 7.0 There also seems to be a 3"-4" crease near the spin. All said I think the book would be in the 6.0-6.5 range.

Point Five Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 4.0 give or take... definitely not worth grading. Zeb Smoke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnybooks Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) 4.5...detached centerfold just a footnote at this grade...maybe 5.0 after a clean? Edited July 20, 2021 by Funnybooks Zeb Smoke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
