Ozonetv Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Has anyone seen notes like these about staples? BTW- I didnt notice extra staples, and theres none visible in the slab....does this impact grade or just a note that doesnt mean much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qalyar Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 That's very strange. I don't put a lot of stock in the graders' notes, but I don't think I've ever seen anything as seemingly random as those before. That said, clearly, wherever these invisible extra manufacturing staples are, they didn't impact the grade. If anything, I'm more than a little surprised this got a 7.5 with that bottom edge... djzombi and The Lions Den 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with that...I'm not inclined to complain :-) The Lions Den and djzombi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lions Den Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 It could be that the extra staples are only attached to the interior of the book---it's rare, but it does happen sometimes. That would help explain why there isn't a note on the label. And the extra staples wouldn't affect the grade, but that bottom edge looks like it sustained significant impact damage...

onlyweaknesskryptonite Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 When I read the notes I imagine a book that has staples lining the whole top and bottom of book. (Thankfully and clearly not the case) There has to be a better way to convey/word what the actual issue is with these. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grottu Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I’ve seen “top of whole book” or “bottom of whole book” as a descriptor in notes, but usually in the context of creasing, folds, chipping, etc. My guess is the grader was trying to say something about the flaw on the bottom and had a brain freeze.

theCapraAegagrus Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 It does not look like those defects affected the grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
