dzbad Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I have a Morb ius #3 with a 1/4" puncture through the whole book. The rest of the book is a strong NM. I was curious how ove r street, or CGC would grade this? Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Dositheus Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 The highest grade I'm aware of a book with a hole all the way through getting in a blue label is 5.0. I think there was a Tales of Suspense that went from 8.0 green to 5.0 blue with two hole punches. Because the rest of the book is better than 8.0, maybe CGC could go as high as 6.0? Only one way to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Otherwise NM I'd guess it'll downgrade to FN range. Guessing 6.5. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highest grossing band of the year, too. Nostalgia factor is big with that lot. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Not worth a clean/press/grade. Put it back in the Mylar. 🖖 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Five Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 6.0/6.5 seems about right. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure you already know this but they bring the fire forward. PM me and we can talk music. I have a cloud drive with many shows to share. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
