Mark Riley Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) The top right corner of the cover is bent a bit and I'm not sure what that line is in the black that only shows up in the corner close-up. There is also a hanging chad at the bottom corner of the spine. Edited August 23, 2021 by Mark Riley Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Riley Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) The top right corner has a slight bend in the cover; here’s a close up of that. There's also a faint line in the black that is more apparent from the straight-on photo ( but I never saw it with my naked eye).

Mark Riley Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Also, almost every book I own has a mark in the bottom left corner. But on this book the chad has not torn off, like others have. Edited August 23, 2021 by Mark Riley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnybooks Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Hi Mark The "chad" is just part of the manufacturing process and it not considered a defect when grading. You may notice when books get the 9.9 or 10 grade, often times these books somehow escape the press "defect" with "perfect" corners. 9.4 Mark Riley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I'm on the 9.4 train, I just lack a decent 'hanging chad' meme. Mark Riley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
