qlow Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I have a couple 90s comics that have some dull staples (no rust) and i was just wondering how much that affects the grade. Does it matter if there's no rust? or can it prevent it from hitting 9.6/9.8 if there are no other flaws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csaag Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 The Overstreet guide only mentions that staples are 'clean' at the highest grades. Of course CGC standards are not O/S standrads but you'd think they generally line up. So I guess it could depend on the meaning of 'clean' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I guess it really depends on how "dull". Right now I cannot think of any examples in which non-rusty staples prevented a book from receiving a fair grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
