grendelbo Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Are those stains on the back from rusty staples on a book this one was stacked upon or are they from this copy? And is there rust migration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is there rust migration? Good question...I do not have the book in hand, but unfortunately I think they are from this copy. And, I'm sure this is a newb question, but could you define rust migration for me? Also, sorry for the slow response...I couldn't get on the boards earlier today for some reason. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the staples to the cover or interior paper or sometimes from book to book because of stacking or proximity. Because of the placement of the staples seen on the front cover, these stains look to be from another book. Maybe. Last time I graded one like this I was way harsher than CGC on this defect. I'm going to say 5.0 as is, C&P to 6.0. Thanks for posting. It'll be interesting to see what CGC says. mel3k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
