“Color Lift” Grader Notes 2 2

[OJ Pimpson]

I just received a book back in 9.6 and actually got notes. However what was listed is something I’ve never seen before. 
 

what is color lift? I assume it’s another way of saying color rub? If I’m wrong please educate me. Thanks

Maybe it's from tape getting stuck to the cover.

My thoughts too, or maybe it's from comics being stacked on top of each other without bags and boards

color lift is when color of the book has been removed or "lifted off" by some means. Usually it is from stacking

I thought tape pull in notes would be specifically stated, but didnt know, or how cgc would tell the difference

Just figured somehow they did. Lifted must be a effect, only brought on by certain things

But thanks for the heads up! So I can avoid some of the pitfalls....

Absolutely. I think tape pull would also be a more moderate to severe example of color lift. It differs from color rub which is more of an abrasion.

Seeing that your book was a 9.6, you're likely looking a very tiny speckles of lift on either or both covers. Probably very hard to detect depending on where they are on the cover.

Not going to turn this into a I got robbed thread. As I haven’t even got the book back. It’s Darth Maul #2 1:25. The issue with this book and the notes I received is that cover art has white flecks all over the book. So when I see these notes and I look at this cover man I don’t know, guess we shall see.
