byosti Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Can't really tell if this one a common printer defect or color rub from maybe a board. It doesn't feel scuffed or rough, but its hard to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 It's definitely color rub, and it may have occurred at the MFG level. It's only considered "common" on an issue-to-issue basis.

The higher the grade, the more significant drop off. I would post clear front and back cover pics in the spare a grade section and ask people how much of a drop off. djzombi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justafan Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I have tested this out once 4 years ago where i sent in 3 vf/nm or better books (2-3 non color break spine ticks and one had 1 spine tick with hint of color break) with several small ink rub streaks/spots along the front and back cover spines and had them come back as a cgc 8.0, 8.5 and 9.0. I also had them pressed. The graders notes only stated multiple color rub on them so if the print run isnt known for this as a common printer defect, itll likely get knocked down 1 whole grade point from 9.0 or above. Of course it also depends on the graders. However, i have seen 9.8s and 9.6s with mild ink rub (small spot by staples) on issues not known for that defect so it can vary by degrees and noticeability of the ink rubs especially if on the front cover. grendelbo and djzombi 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Definitely a rub. Post pics in the PGM thread if you’d like to get opinions on grade. Unless you already did…🤙 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
