Pangolin Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I'd like to know how much this defect can affect the grade of a comic. So assuming that this comic is a 9.8, at which grade would it be downgraded if the only obvious defect is this large stacking bend. I understand that pressing it will remove the problem but let said that I don’t plan to press it. Thanks in advance for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypost Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 You will get dinged for sure. Is it front and back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philiboy Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 But if it’s pressed out, shouldn’t it be graded at the condition it is after the press? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a MTU 141 graded 8.5 by CGC because of a 2 inches crease and it was the only defect. Based on that grade, my guess is that a larger bend with no color break would not fall below 9.0 Funnybooks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
